WHAT ARE COOKIES?

A cookie is a small file of data, usually consisting of letters and numbers, which is downloaded onto your computer or mobile internet device. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. A cookie cannot be used to identify you personally, but it can allow a website to recognise you if you visit the site again and can as a result improve its responsiveness to you when you revisit.

Cookies not requiring consent on this website

Essential cookies, also referred to as 'strictly necessary' cookies, ensure functions without which you would not be able to use this website as intended. These cookies are used exclusively by BMW UK and are therefore so-called first-party cookies. They are only stored on your user device during the current browser session. Essential cookies ensure, for example, that when you open the vehicle configurator you are shown a version where the bandwidth-related data volume corresponds to that of the internet connection you are using. When switching sites, for example, such cookies also ensure the functionality of a change from http to https and thus compliance with increased security requirements for data transfer. Last but not least, a cookie such as this also saves your decision with regard to the use of cookies on our website. Your consent is not required for the use of essential cookies.

Essential cookies cannot be disabled using the function of this site. In general, you can disable cookies in your browser at any time.

Cookies requiring consent on this website

Cookies that are not essential to be able to use the website in line with the above definition perform important tasks. Without these cookies, functions that enable convenient surfing on our website, for example pre-completed forms, are no longer available. The settings you have made cannot be stored and must therefore be queried anew on each page. Furthermore, we have no possibility to adjust to you with individually adapted offers.

MINI UK also integrates content from third parties in this website. Examples of this are the integration of Facebook services or YouTube videos. These third-party providers can theoretically set cookies while you are visiting our website, obtaining the information that you have opened our website, for example. Please visit the websites of third-party providers to obtain more information regarding their use of cookies. If you have decided as a general principle not to give your consent to the use of cookies that require consent or to revoke consent that has been given, you are only provided with the functionalities of our website where we can guarantee use without these cookies. Areas of our website that potentially offer the technical possibility to integrate third-party content and therefore to set third-party cookies are not available to you in this case. You are informed of this by a corresponding prompt. If you nonetheless wish to use the content of the website in such a case, this is only possible if you agree to use cookies requiring consent. Activate the consent function available at the respective position on our website.

You will find more detailed information on cookies requiring consent, the different categories of cookies, the use of cookies and tracking on this website, and how to manage and delete cookies further down below.

MANAGING AND DELETING COOKIES

To manage cookies, most browsers allow you to refuse or accept all cookies or only to accept certain types of cookie. The process for the management and deletion of cookies can be found in the help function integrated in the browser. If you wish to limit the use of cookies, you will not be able to use all the interactive functions of our website.

CATEGORIES

Depending on their function and intended purpose, cookies can be divided into four categories*: Essential cookies, performance cookies, functional cookies, cookies for marketing purposes.

Essential cookies

Essential cookies are required so that you can navigate on a website and use its features. Without these cookies, functionalities cannot be ensured, for example that actions performed during a visit (e.g. text input or vehicle configuration) are preserved, also when navigating between individual pages of the website.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies enable a website to save details that have already been provided (e.g. user name, your location) and to offer the user improved, more personal functions. Functional cookies are used, for example, to enable requested functions such as the playback of videos. These cookies collect anonymized information; they cannot track your movement on other websites.

Performance cookies

Performance cookies collect information on how a website is used – for example which pages a visitor opens most frequently and whether they receive error messages from a page. These cookies do not save any information that permits identification of the user. The collected information is used for reports that are aggregated and anonymous. These cookies are used exclusively to improve the performance of a website and thus the user experience.

Cookies for marketing purposes

Cookies for marketing purposes are used to extract advertisements that are relevant to specific users and adapted to their interests. They are also used to limit the frequency of appearance of an advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They register whether you have visited a website or not. This information can be shared with third parties, for example advertisers. Cookies to improve target group contact and advertising are often linked with page functionalities of third parties.

PERFORMANCE COOKIES: USER TRACKING

Our website uses Google Analytics to collect information as to how users interact with the website and its content. We use this information to ensure that the website creates added value for its visitors, for example with content adapted to your personal needs.
