Dream Car GaragePolitica de Cookies
Ultima atualizacao: 2026-06-02
Current status (June 2026): Dream Car Garage currently sets only strictly necessary and functional cookies. The analytics, advertising, and marketing technologies described below are not active at this time — Google Analytics and Google AdSense are disabled and the cookie consent banner is switched off. Because no non-essential cookies are used, no consent is requested. These categories, together with a consent banner, will be reactivated once our operating company is formally registered as data controller. The sections below are retained for transparency and will apply when those technologies are re-enabled.

3. Legal basis
Strictly necessary cookies are based on the controller's legitimate interest (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)). Advertising, analytics, and marketing cookies require your prior consent (LSSI-CE Article 22.2 and GDPR Article 6(1)(a)).
4. How to manage your preferences
Because only strictly necessary cookies are currently in use, the cookie consent banner and the "Cookie settings" option are temporarily disabled — there are no optional cookies to configure. You can still manage or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings.
When analytics and advertising are reactivated, a consent banner and a "Cookie settings" control will return to this site.
