Status: Public beta legal draft — publication metadata and counsel review are still pending where applicable.
2. Categories
| Category | Purpose | Current status |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Authentication, security, consent records, and core request/session functions. | Always active |
| Functional | Optional enhanced functionality supplied by us or a third party. | Mapbox map; off until allowed |
| Analytics | First-party measurement of aggregate traffic, journeys, booking-flow events, performance, and feature use. | Off until Analytics consent is allowed |

WrenchFinder does not currently load third-party advertising pixels for remarketing or cross-site behavioural profiling through this system. Marketing attribution is first-party and consent-gated.
3. Current storage and third parties

4. Measurement and attribution data
With Analytics consent, WrenchFinder may record first-party events such as page, service, shop, form, booking, and quote interactions using an anonymous session identifier. Analytics-only measurement does not retain campaign source, advertising click identifiers, or referrer attribution.
With Marketing consent, WrenchFinder may additionally record campaign source, medium, campaign, content, term, permitted advertising click identifiers, and the referring host. Landing-page measurement stores the path rather than the full query string. A consented marketing session may be linked to a booking request so the selected shop can see aggregate marketing performance.
5. Browser and device controls
You can change optional choices at any time through Cookie Preferences. Withdrawing Marketing consent removes the WrenchFinder marketing session cookie; rejecting both Analytics and Marketing also clears the browser-tab measurement session where available. You can also block or delete cookies through browser settings. Doing so may sign you out, remove saved consent, or prevent parts of the platform from working.
6. Future tools and changes
Adding a materially different analytics, advertising, remarketing, or marketing technology requires a product and privacy review, an updated disclosure and policy version, and any consent required before it loads. A stored choice will not be treated as consent to a materially different or previously undisclosed tool or purpose.
