Cookie Policy
Last Updated: July 30, 2026
This Cookie Policy (this “Policy”) explains what cookies and similar tracking technologies are, how Overseas Military Sales Corporation and its affiliates, including International AutoSource (“IAS,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), use them on our website at intlauto.com and its related subdomains (collectively, the “Website”), and what choices you have in relation to them.
This Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, available at intlauto.com/privacy, which sets out more detail about how we collect, use, and protect your personal data, and the rights you have in relation to it.
When you first visit our Website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies by category. Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent. For all other categories of cookies (i.e., performance, preferences, and marketing cookies), we will only place them on your device after you have given us your consent through the consent banner.
1. What are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
- Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website.
- Session cookies are stored on your device only for as long as your browser is open and are automatically deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device after the browser is closed, for a period of time specified in the cookie, and are re-activated when you return to the website that set them. Both session and persistent cookies are used on the Website.
- First-party cookies are set directly by us (intlauto.com).
- Third-party cookies are set by our partners, such as Meta (Facebook), Google, CarNow, Microsoft, Marketo, Bing, and LinkedIn, to provide specialized services like live chat, digital retailing tools, targeted advertising, lead management, analytics, and session recording.
In addition to cookies, we and our third-party partners may use other similar tracking technologies on the Website, including:
- Web beacons and pixel tags: Tiny invisible images or small pieces of code embedded in web pages and emails that register when a page or email has been opened and collect information about how you interact with the Website. Technologies used on our Website in this category include the Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Pixel, and Bing tracking pixel.
- Heatmaps and session recordings: Microsoft Clarity uses heatmap and session recording technology to capture anonymized interaction data showing how visitors navigate and interact with pages on the Website. This helps us improve site design, relocation quote calculators, and usability.
- Local storage and session storage: Technologies that store data in your browser to support website functionality, such as remembering your destination country, vehicle preferences, or session state.
- Device identifiers: Unique identifiers associated with your device that may be used for advertising and analytics purposes on mobile devices.
References to “cookies” in this Policy include all such similar technologies unless stated otherwise. You can find more information about cookies generally at www.allaboutcookies.org.
2. How We Use Cookies
We group our cookies into categories based on their specific purpose:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for security, bot protection, navigation, and basic site functions. These cannot be switched off in our systems and do not require your consent. The Website cannot function properly without them.
- Preference / Functionality Cookies: Allow us to provide enhanced functionality, such as maintaining your digital retailing tools, vehicle quote history, live chat sessions (via CarNow), destination country selection. If you do not allow these cookies, some of these features may not work as intended.
- Performance / Analytical Cookies: Help us count visits to the Website, understand how visitors move around it, and measure site performance and traffic sources so we can improve the experience for all global visitors. All information collected by performance cookies is aggregated and, where possible, anonymized.
- Marketing / Targeting Cookies: Used to track your visits to the Website and other websites in order to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant vehicle relocation advertisements. They may be set by us or by third-party advertising networks and platforms with our permission. Marketing cookies on the Website include those set by Google (Ads and Remarketing), Meta (Facebook Pixel), AdRoll, Bing, LinkedIn, and Marketo.
- Attribution Cookies: A subset of our marketing cookies, attribution cookies store marketing source data (such as campaign, keyword, relocation partner, or referring platform) and unique campaign click identifiers—including Google Click ID (ppcGclid), Meta Click ID (ppcFbclid), and Microsoft Click ID (ppcMsclkid)—to ensure your inquiry is routed correctly to the appropriate relocation specialist and to measure advertising effectiveness.
