Cookie Policy
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. This page explains how the Autonomy website uses them, and how you choose what we may set. Autonomy is a trading name of MTC Media Ltd, which trades as mtc.
Your choice
The first time you visit we ask whether you are happy for us to use analytics cookies from Google Analytics. Until you accept, we set none. Lead Forensics is separate: it runs on every visit, and your answer does not change that (see below). Choosing "Essential only" leaves the site working exactly as it does otherwise, and nothing on this site is held back behind accepting.
To change your answer later, clear this site's stored data in your browser settings. The banner will then appear again on your next visit.
Essential
These are needed for the site to work or to keep it secure, so they are set without asking.
| What | Purpose | Kept for |
|---|---|---|
autonomy-consent |
Remembers your cookie choice so we stop asking. Held in your browser's local storage and never sent to us. | Until you clear your browser data |
_GRECAPTCHA |
Set by Google reCAPTCHA, which protects the enquiry and demo forms from automated abuse. | Up to 6 months |
Analytics, only if you accept
If you accept, we load Google Analytics 4 through Google Tag Manager. We use it to see which pages people find useful, how they arrived and where they give up, so we can improve the site. We do not use it to work out who you are.
| What | Purpose | Kept for |
|---|---|---|
_ga |
Tells one visitor's return visits apart from another's | 2 years |
_ga_* |
Keeps track of a single visit | 2 years |
Google Ireland Limited processes this data on our instructions. Google sets out what it collects and how long it keeps it in its own privacy and terms. We do not join analytics data up with anything you send us through a form.
Lead Forensics, on every visit
Every page loads Lead Forensics, whatever you choose on the banner. It looks up the IP address you visit from to work out which business, if any, it belongs to, and records the pages that business viewed. We use it to see which dealer groups and manufacturers are looking at Autonomy. It is aimed at organisations, not individual people.
Lead Forensics Ltd processes this data on our instructions. It sets no cookies on this site, though it may use its own on its domain; its cookie policy explains them. If you would rather it did not run, a content blocker in your browser will stop it.
What we do not do
We do not use advertising or ad-targeting cookies. We do not sell your data. We do not use analytics to build a profile of you as an individual, and we do not use it to make any decision about you.
Managing cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings, whatever you chose here. Blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the site working.
