This page explains how Autovendo uses cookies and similar technologies on autovendo.com, autovendo.lt, autovendo.pt and our apps. It should be read with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
You can change your choice at any time from Cookie Settings in the footer. Questions: info@autovendo.com.
Guest browsing and your account
You can search, view listings, save cars, save searches and start a listing without creating an account. To do that we give this browser an anonymous guest identity.
That identity is stored in a cookie named autovendo-anonymous-id and in session tokens in local storage. The backend keeps guest activity (for example saved cars, saved searches, listing drafts, photos and listing views) against that identity.
If you later create or sign in to an account — by email code, password, Google or Apple — we send the guest id with the sign-in request. The backend then moves that guest data into the account. After the transfer we delete the guest cookie and guest tokens from this browser.
This guest cookie is necessary. Without it we cannot keep your browsing continuous or move it into an account. Choosing “Necessary only” does not turn it off.
What we ask permission for
- Necessary — always on. Guest identity, sign-in, cookie-consent choice, and the language cookie so the site can load in the right language.
- Preferences — optional. Extra language and interface choices, and the country you picked in the country switcher, so autovendo.com can send you to that country's site next time.
- Analytics — optional. We do not currently set analytics cookies.
- Marketing — optional. We do not currently set advertising cookies.
Cookies we set
| Name | Where | Lasts | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| autovendo-anonymous-id | Cookie | 1 year | Guest identity so saved cars, searches, drafts and views stay with you and can move into an account. |
| autovendo-cookie-consent | Cookie and local storage | 1 year | Remembers Accept all, Necessary only, or your custom choice. |
| auto123-language-preference | Cookie and local storage | 1 year | Keeps the language you chose. The key still uses the older product name so existing visitors are not reset. |
Other storage in this browser
These are not always cookies, but they work the same way for privacy purposes:
| Name | Where | Lasts | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| autovendo-anon-access-token, autovendo-anon-refresh-token | Local storage | Until the session expires or you create an account | Anonymous API session used for saved cars, drafts, views and messages while you are a guest. |
| autovendo-access-token, autovendo-refresh-token | Local storage | Until you sign out | Signed-in API session. |
| autovendo-sell-form and related sell keys | Session storage | This tab | Keeps a listing draft you started before publishing or creating an account. |
| autovendo-makes-with-models, autovendo-search-enums | Local storage | About 24 hours | Caches make, model and filter lists so search stays fast. |
| autovendo-messages-view, autovendo-search-view, autovendo-has-dealership, autovendo-story-resume, scroll position | Local or session storage | Until cleared or the tab closes | Interface state only. |
| auto123-geo-locale, auto123-geo-applied | Session storage | This tab | Preferences only. Remembers an approximate country so we do not look it up again. |
Third parties
- Autovendo API — runs accounts, guest identities and the marketplace.
- Country switcher — only if you allow Preferences. autovendo.com remembers the country you picked (av_market) so your next visit opens that country's site. Nothing is sent to anyone else; without it we go by the country your connection comes from.
- api.fontshare.com — loads the Satoshi font.
- Apple and Google — only if you sign in with App Store, Google or Apple. They set their own cookies.
- Stripe — only if you pay for a listing or promotion from a signed-in account.
We do not currently use advertising networks or analytics pixels on this website.
How long we keep guest data
The guest cookie lasts up to one year, or until it is converted into an account. After conversion the guest cookie is removed here. How long the account then keeps saved cars, drafts and similar data is described in the Privacy Policy.
Your choices
- Use Cookie Settings in the footer to change categories.
- Block cookies in your browser. Necessary features such as staying a guest or staying signed in will stop working.
- Create an account if you want guest activity moved off this browser and onto a login you can use on another device.
