Cookie Policy
Last updated: 30 August 2026
Props Garage uses cookies and similar browser storage to keep the website secure, remember your choices and, only with your permission, understand website use through Google Analytics.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored by a website in your browser. We also use local storage, which lets the browser retain a preference on your device. “First-party” storage is set for propsgarage.com; third-party services may set or access identifiers under their own domains.
2. Essential cookies and storage
These are needed to provide requested functions, protect forms, maintain sessions and remember privacy choices. They do not require consent, although you can block cookies in your browser; doing so may prevent accounts and forms from working.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| props-garage-session | Props Garage | Maintains the secure website and login session. | 2 hours |
| XSRF-TOKEN | Props Garage | Protects forms against cross-site request forgery. | 2 hours |
| propsgarage.cookieConsent | Props Garage local storage | Remembers “essential only” or analytics consent. | Until cleared or changed |
| propsgarage_newsletter_dismissed_at | Props Garage local storage | Prevents the newsletter modal reappearing for seven days after dismissal. | Until cleared; consulted for 7 days |
| propsgarage_newsletter_subscribed | Props Garage local storage | Prevents the newsletter modal being shown again after subscription on that browser. | Until cleared |
| _GRECAPTCHA and related security identifiers | Google reCAPTCHA | Helps distinguish genuine form activity from automated abuse. | Set and controlled by Google; duration may vary |
3. Optional analytics cookies
Google Analytics is not loaded unless you choose “Accept analytics”. It helps us measure visits, page use, device categories and general traffic sources so we can improve the service. We do not use it to enable personalised advertising on Props Garage.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes browsers using a pseudonymous identifier. | Up to 2 years |
| _ga_<container-id> | Google Analytics | Persists session state for the Analytics property. | Up to 2 years |
4. Google reCAPTCHA
reCAPTCHA v3 protects forms by analysing technical and interaction information and providing a risk score. This processing is used for security and fraud prevention. Use of reCAPTCHA is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms.
5. Google mapping services
Pages or features that use Google Maps Platform, maps, geocoding, places or distance services may connect to Google and send technical request information and the location being searched or processed. An interactive or embedded Google map may also use Google-controlled cookies, local storage or identifiers. Google handles that information under its Privacy Policy and applicable Maps terms.
6. Change or withdraw your choice
You can reject analytics without losing access to the website. Use the button below or “Cookie settings” in the footer to review your choice. Withdrawing consent stops future Analytics loading on this browser; it does not automatically remove Analytics cookies already stored, which you can delete in browser settings.
7. Browser controls and changes
Most browsers allow you to view, delete or block cookies and clear local storage. Blocking essential storage may sign you out or stop forms working. We may update this policy if cookies, providers or retention periods change. Our Privacy Policy explains how personal information is used and how to contact us.
