Models118.co.uk uses cookies and similar technologies to provide you with a secure shopping experience and a functioning shopping basket for collector model cars. This Cookie Policy supplements our Privacy Policy and complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU 2016/679) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our website. They enable us to recognise your preferences — such as language, currency, and shopping basket contents — and to continuously improve our services. We use both session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (stored for a specified duration).
What types of cookies do we use?
Essential (Functional) Cookies: These cookies are necessary for operating our online shop — they store your shopping basket, login session, and language and currency settings. No consent is required for essential cookies under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) Article 6(1)(b).
Analytics Cookies: We use anonymised analytics tools (such as Google Analytics 4 with IP anonymisation) to understand how our website is used and to continuously optimise it.
Marketing Cookies: These cookies are used to display relevant advertising (such as Meta Pixel, Google Ads, TikTok Pixel). They are only activated with your explicit consent.
Third-party cookies
Our website embeds content from third parties — YouTube videos, social media elements (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest), and payment service providers such as Stripe and PayPal. These providers may set their own cookies. A comprehensive, regularly updated list of all cookies can be found in our detailed cookie inventory (EU). Please also review the privacy policies of the respective providers.
Your rights under the GDPR and privacy laws
You have comprehensive rights at any time: access to your data (GDPR Article 15), correction (Article 16), deletion (Article 17), restriction of processing (Article 18), data portability (Article 20), and objection to processing (Article 21). Any consent you have given can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future — via the cookie banner or the “Manage consent” function in the footer. For complaints, you may contact the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) or the appropriate supervisory authority in your jurisdiction.
How do you manage your cookie settings?
On your first visit to our website, you will be asked for your consent via a cookie banner. You can change your selection at any time using the “Cookie settings” link in the footer. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings — however, be aware that some features of our online shop (shopping basket, login) may be restricted as a result.
