MINI's cookie usage. Your privacy is important to us.
WHAT´S A COOKIE?
A cookie is a sort of digital tag that remembers where you’ve been online. Almost every website uses cookie technology. The cookie is downloaded by your Internet browser the first time you visit a website. The next time you visit this website from the same device, the cookie and the information in it are either sent back to the originating website (first-party cookies) or to another website to which it belongs (third-party cookies). By that, the website can detect that it has already been opened using this browser.
A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the ‘lifetime’ of the cookie, and a value, usually a randomly generated unique number. A ‘session’ cookie is deleted once you close your web browser.
Some cookies are extremely useful because they can improve your user experience when you return to a website you have already visited. This assumes that you are using the same device and the same browser as before; if so, cookies will remember your preferences.
We only use them to track you anonymously across our site. So we can give you the most relevant content and the best user experience we can.

Cookies that are essential, also known as ‘strictly necessary’ cookies, enable features without which you would not be able to use the website as intended. These cookies are used exclusively by MINI and are therefore known as first-party cookies. They are only saved on your computer while you are actually browsing the website. Another example of what these cookies do is facilitate a switch from http to https when you change pages, so that the security of data transmitted is maintained. Furthermore, a cookie of this kind is used to store your decision about the use of cookies on our website. Your consent is not required for the use of strictly necessary cookies.
Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled using the features of this website. You can however completely disable cookies in your browser at any time.
