Cookie Policy
What cookies Restart uses, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences at any time.
Last updated: 18 July 2026
Categories of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies (always active)
Required for the Website to function — running the shopping cart, checkout, secure login and PayFast payment session. The Website cannot operate without these, so they cannot be switched off. Examples: restart-cart, session/authentication token, PayFast payment session.
Functional Cookies
Remember choices you make — like delivery vs. collection preference or recently viewed vehicles — so you don't have to re-enter them. Examples: restart-recent-vehicle.
Performance Cookies
Help us measure page load speed and identify slow or broken pages so we can keep browsing and checkout running smoothly.
Analytics Cookies
Tell us, in aggregate, which parts, categories and vehicle pages are popular and how visitors move through the site. We use Google Analytics for this purpose. Examples: _ga, _ga_*, _gid.
Marketing Cookies
Used, only with your consent, to show relevant Restart adverts on other platforms (such as Meta or Google) and measure the performance of our advertising campaigns. Examples: _fbp, Google Ads audience cookies.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties whose services we embed on the Website — for example, Google Analytics and PayFast's payment page. These providers have their own privacy and cookie policies governing how they use this data.
Session, Persistent Cookies & Lifetime
Session cookies are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your browser (for example, your checkout session). Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period so we can recognise you on a return visit (for example, remembering your cookie preferences or cart contents).
| Cookie type | Typical lifetime |
|---|---|
| Essential (cart, session) | Session, or up to 30 days |
| Functional | Up to 12 months |
| Performance | Up to 12 months |
| Analytics (Google Analytics) | Up to 14 months |
| Marketing | Up to 90 days |
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can choose which optional cookie categories to allow at any time using the preferences centre on this website:
Browser Settings
You can also block or delete cookies directly through your browser settings — typically under Settings → Privacy → Cookies. Blocking essential cookies will prevent parts of the Website (such as the cart and checkout) from working correctly. Most browsers let you view, delete and block cookies on a site-by-site basis; check your browser's help documentation for exact steps (Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge all offer this under their privacy settings).
Updating Your Preferences
Changing your preferences takes effect immediately for future page loads. Where you previously accepted analytics or marketing cookies and later withdraw consent, we stop setting new cookies in that category, though any already stored will expire naturally per the lifetimes above or can be cleared manually via your browser.
