Collection and use of personal information about customers
The information we learn from customers helps us continually improve your experience at CompleteCar.ie. We use the information to deliver services and communicate with you about the same. We also use this information to improve our site, prevent or detect fraud or abuses of our website and enable third parties to carry out technical, logistical or other functions on our behalf.
Here are the types of information we gather:
- Information you give us: we receive and store any information you enter on our website or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of some of our features.
- Automatic information: we receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many websites, we may use "cookies" and we obtain certain types of information when your web browser accesses CompleteCar.ie. A number of companies offer utilities designed to help you visit websites anonymously.

Behavioural advertising companies
These companies help us manage online advertising and we may use them from time to time. They use cookies together with web beacons to provide advertising to you and to enable us to manage our relationship with those advertisers by, for example, tracking how many unique users have seen a particular advertisement or followed a link in an advertisement. This helps us to measure general user behaviour across our sites and third party sites to build a profile based on user browsing patterns so that we and third parties can target advertising to users that will be more relevant to users' interests. This means that if, for example, users visit a page with a review about a particular car then the cookie will collect this information and we may target adverts for that car to those users and, if users visit third party sites that are part of the same advertising network, those third parties may target adverts for that car to those users.
