Cookie Policy
A plain-language explanation of exactly what cookies JDM State Motors of NC uses, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences at any time.
Section 1
What Are Cookies & How They Work
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device — desktop, laptop, phone, or tablet — when you visit it. They are stored by your web browser and contain a small amount of data, such as a unique identifier, site name, and some numbers or letters. This data is sent back to the originating website each time you return, so the site can recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit.
At JDM State Motors of NC, our website jdmmotorsnc.com is built and hosted on Shopify, a leading US-based e-commerce platform. When you browse our store — whether you are looking at JDM engines, transmissions, suspension parts, or any other used Japanese domestic market automotive parts we carry — your browser interacts with both our own cookies and certain third-party cookies placed by services we use to operate our store.
Key Terminology — What These Terms Mean
- › Session cookies exist only for the duration of your visit and are deleted automatically when you close your browser tab or window.
- › Persistent cookies remain on your device after you leave the site, for a defined period of time (days, months, or up to 2 years), and are re-activated when you return.
- › First-party cookies are set directly by jdmmotorsnc.com to make core site functions work.
- › Third-party cookies are set by external services such as analytics providers or advertising platforms that we have integrated into our website.
- › Pixel tags / web beacons are tiny transparent images embedded in pages or emails that work similarly to cookies to track activity.
- › Local storage is a related browser technology that functions like cookies but stores slightly more data on your device; Shopify uses it for cart state management.
Cookies do not contain personally identifying information on their own. However, when combined with other data our third-party service providers collect — such as your IP address, browser type, or device identifiers — they may be associated with you or your household under the definitions used by certain US state privacy laws.
JDM State Motors of NC operates exclusively as an online retailer shipping used Japanese automotive parts throughout the United States. We do not operate a physical retail storefront open to walk-in customers. Because all of our transactions take place online, cookies are an essential part of how our store functions, how we detect and prevent fraud, how we process your orders, and how we understand what products our customers are looking for.
Section 2
The Categories of Cookies We Use
We classify all cookies used on jdmmotorsnc.com into four distinct categories below. Each card explains exactly what that category does, what would break if those cookies were disabled, and whether they are strictly required for the store to function.
Section 3
Third-Party Services & Their Cookies
Because jdmmotorsnc.com is built on Shopify and integrates several third-party services to operate our store, process payments, track orders, and deliver customer support, some cookies on our site are placed by those external providers. We do not have direct control over the cookies these third parties set, but we have listed every known provider below along with a link to their own privacy documentation so you can make an informed decision.

Important Note on Third-Party Data Practices
JDM State Motors of NC does not control how third-party providers handle the data they collect through their own cookies. Once data is transferred to these providers — for example, your browsing patterns sent to Google Analytics — it is governed by that provider's own privacy policy, which we link in the table above. We encourage you to review those policies if you have specific concerns about how any third party handles your data. We do not sell your personal data to data brokers or unrelated third parties.
