The websites www.autohome-official.com and www.shop.autohome-official.com use cookies to make the user's browsing experience easier and more intuitive.A cookie is a small text file that a website uses to store certain information that may relate to the users, their preferences, or their internet access device (computer, mobile device such as smartphone or tablet), and are mainly used to adapt the operation of the site to the user's expectations, offering a more personalised browsing experience and storing the choices made previously.

For more information on how to set your cookie preferences through your browser, please refer to the instructions of the respective manufacturers.: Internet Explorer (http://windows.microsoft.com/it-it/windows-vista/block-or-allow-cookies) Firefox (https://support.mozilla.org/it/kb/Attivare%20e%20disattivare%20i%20cookie) Chrome (https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647?hl=it&topic=14666&ctx=topic) Safari (https://support.apple.com/kb/PH17191?locale=it_IT&viewlocale=it_IT)

III. - TECHNICAL COOKIES THAT DO NOT REQUIRE THE USER'S PRIOR CONSENT

Technical cookies are used to allow the site to function and/or to provide the User with a service or function that the User has expressly requested. Therefore, they guarantee the normal navigation and use of the site, also allowing the preferences expressed by the User to be saved and thus optimising his or her navigation. The site uses both first- and third-party technical cookies. The technical cookies used by the site can be divided into the following subcategories - “user input" cookies: session cookies used to keep track of the data provided by the user by filling in the appropriate online forms (for example, the forms present during the purchase process to enter the shipping or billing address) or, as in the case of the shopping cart, to remember the items that the user has selected and placed in the cart by clicking on the appropriate button. - Authentication cookies: cookies used to identify the user after logging in and allow him/her to authenticate and access the content and/or functionalities for which this log-in is necessary (e.g. purchase, access to the Personal Area). - Other functionality cookies: cookies that are used to activate specific website functionalities and to store the choices made by the User concerning the display of the website pages. - "Consent cookie": a cookie that documents the User's manifestation of consent to the installation of profiling cookies by performing one of the actions described in the banner/short notice, recognises the User when he/she accesses the site a second time so that consent to the installation of cookies has not to be requested again and has a duration of 12 months. There are several technologies used to store information on the user's computer, which is then collected by other sites. Of these, the best known and most widely used is HTML. They are used for navigation and to facilitate the user's access to and use of the site. They are necessary for the transmission of communications on the electronic network or for the provider to provide the service requested by the customer. The settings for managing or deactivating COOKIES may vary depending on the Internet browser used. In any case, the user can manage or request the general deactivation or deletion of cookies by modifying the settings of their internet browser. Such deactivation may slow down or prevent access to certain parts of the website. The use of technical cookies allows the safe and efficient use of the site. The COOKIES that are inserted into the browser and retransmitted by Google Analytics or by the statistics service of blogger or similar are technical only if they are used for the purposes of optimising the site directly by the owner of the site itself, who may collect information in aggregate form on the number of users and how they visit the site. Under these conditions, the same rules on information and consent apply to Analytics COOKIES as to technical cookies. From the point of view of duration, a distinction can be made between temporary session cookies, which are automatically deleted at the end of the browsing session and are used to identify the user and, avoid logging in each time a page is visited, and permanent cookies, which remain active on the computer until they expire or are deleted by the user. Session cookies may be installed to allow access and permanence in the reserved area of the portal as an authenticated user. They are not stored in a persistent way but only for the duration of navigation until the browser is closed, and they disappear when the browser is closed. Their use is strictly limited to the transmission of session identifiers consisting of random numbers generated by the server and necessary to allow the safe and efficient exploration of the site. We may use these cookies automatically, and therefore also without your consent, because otherwise the website does not function properly. We warn you that if you decide to close the initial popup menu by clicking directly on the button on the top right, without selecting any of the "accept all" or "configure" keys, you will continue browsing with the sole use of technical or functional cookies, used automatically by the website without your consent. These cookies can only be disabled through the browser procedure better described in point 9 of the cookie policy available in the web section of the website.

IV. - OTHER TYPES OF COOKIES OR THIRD-PARTY TOOLS THAT MAY USE THEM

In relation to where they come from, we distinguish between cookies sent to your browser directly from the site you are visiting, and third-party cookies sent to your computer from other sites.

Third-party analytical cookies are used to collect information about the user behaviour on the www.shop.autohome-official.com and www.autohome-official.com sites.
