Cookie Policy
Effective Date: 2026-04-17 · Version 1.1 — Last Updated: 2026-04-17
This Cookie Policy explains how Classy Cars Bid uses cookies and similar technologies on classycarsbid.com, what each category is for, and how you can manage your choices.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser when you visit a website. They let the site remember things like whether you are signed in, what language you speak, and whether you have already seen a banner. Some cookies are set by us directly (first-party); others are set by trusted service providers (third-party).
2. Cookies We Use
| Name | Provider | Type | Purpose | Duration | Party |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ccb_session | classycarsbid.com | Essential | Keeps you signed in during a session and preserves bid state. | Session | First-party |
| ccb_csrf | classycarsbid.com | Essential | CSRF protection for bid and account forms. | Session | First-party |

3. Consent Mechanism
When you first visit classycarsbid.com, a banner lets you Accept All, Reject Non-Essential, or Customize cookies. You can revisit that choice at any time by clearing your browser storage and reloading the page, or by opening the Customize dialog from the banner. Essential cookies are always on — without them basic site features (login, bidding forms) will not work.

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies via their settings menu:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
