Overview

JDM Florida, operated by JDM TECH LLC (EIN: 26-2144419) and located at 2302 Mercator Dr. Unit 101, Orlando, Florida 32807, United States, is committed to being fully transparent about how we collect, use, and manage data through cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website, https://jdmflorida.com/.

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, why we use them, what types of cookies we deploy on our website, how long they remain active, and what rights you have as a visitor or customer. This policy applies to all users who access our website from any location within the United States, including residents of states with specific privacy laws such as California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, Utah, and others.

By continuing to use our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree with the use of cookies as described here, you may adjust your browser settings or use our cookie preference controls to limit or disable non-essential cookies at any time.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — such as a computer, smartphone, or tablet — when you visit a website. These files are stored in your browser and allow the website to recognize your device on return visits or as you navigate between pages during a single session.

Cookies serve a wide range of purposes. Some cookies are essential for the website to function correctly — without them, certain features such as your shopping cart or secure login session would not work. Other cookies help us understand how visitors use our website so we can improve performance and user experience. Some cookies are placed by third-party services we use, such as analytics platforms or advertising networks.

In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use related technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, local storage objects, and session storage. These technologies function in a similar way to cookies and are covered under this same policy.

Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot access other information stored on your device. They are not viruses or malware. They are a standard, widely used technology that is fundamental to how most modern websites operate.

2. Who Places Cookies on Our Website?

Cookies on https://jdmflorida.com/ are placed by two types of parties:

First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set directly by JDM Florida / JDM TECH LLC. They are used to operate core website functions, remember your preferences, and improve your browsing experience on our site.

Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by external companies and services that we have integrated into our website. These third parties have their own independent privacy and cookie policies, and we encourage you to review them. Examples include analytics tools, payment processors, and marketing platforms.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our website. Each category is explained with its purpose, examples of what it does, and whether it is required for the website to function.

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

Required: Yes — These cookies cannot be disabled as they are essential to the core operation of our website.

Strictly necessary cookies enable fundamental features of https://jdmflorida.com/ that you rely on when browsing and making purchases. Without these cookies, services such as your shopping cart, account login, order processing, and secure checkout would not function properly.

These cookies do not collect any personal information for marketing purposes and are not used to track your browsing activity across other websites. They are active only during your session or for a short period afterward to maintain basic functionality.

Examples of what these cookies do on our website:

  • Maintain your shopping cart contents as you browse our inventory of used Japanese engines, transmissions, and accessories

  • Keep you securely logged into your customer account during a session

  • Prevent fraudulent activity and maintain session security during checkout

  • Remember items you have added to your wishlist or recently viewed

  • Enable our website's Laravel-based infrastructure to deliver pages and content correctly

Because these cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with the services you have requested, they are active at all times and do not require your prior consent under U.S. privacy law. However, we believe in full transparency and disclose them here accordingly.

3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

Required: No — These cookies are optional and active only with your consent where required by applicable law.

Performance and analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. They collect aggregated and anonymized data about which pages are visited most frequently, how long visitors spend on each page, what search terms are used, and whether any errors are encountered during browsing.

This information is used exclusively to improve the performance, structure, and content of https://jdmflorida.com/. It does not identify you personally and is not shared with advertising networks or used to build behavioral profiles.

Examples of what these cookies help us track:

  • The number of visitors to our product pages (e.g., used JDM engine listings, transmission pages, and accessory categories)

  • Which engine or transmission models attract the most interest from U.S. buyers

  • Pages that result in high exit rates, helping us identify and fix navigation issues

  • Overall website speed and technical performance

  • Error reporting to improve website stability

We may use third-party analytics tools such as Google Analytics to collect and process this data. When such tools are used, the data is governed both by this policy and the third party's own privacy policy.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Required: No — These cookies are optional and enhance your experience but are not essential.

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies are used to deliver an improved user experience and are not used for marketing purposes.

Examples of what functional cookies do on our website:

  • Remember your preferred language or regional settings

  • Retain your previously entered shipping address or contact details during checkout for faster ordering

  • Remember whether you have previously dismissed our cookie consent banner so it does not appear on every visit

  • Enable embedded customer support tools or live chat features if active on our website

  • Maintain your preferences for how product listings are sorted or displayed (e.g., by engine type, price, or mileage)

These cookies may be set by JDM Florida directly or by third-party service providers whose tools are embedded on our website. If set by third parties, their use of the data is governed by their own privacy policies.

3.4 Targeting and Advertising Cookies

Required: No — These cookies are optional and are only active with your explicit consent where required by applicable law.

Targeting and advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements and promotional content that is relevant to your interests. These cookies track your browsing activity across websites and use that information to serve you ads related to products or services you have shown interest in—such as used Japanese car engines and transmissions available at JDM Florida.

These cookies may be placed by us or by our advertising partners. They do not directly store personal information such as your name or address but do use a unique identifier linked to your browser or device to build a profile of your interests over time.

Examples of how these cookies are used in relation to our business:

  • Showing you targeted ads for specific JDM engine or transmission models after you have visited those product pages on our website

  • Limiting how many times you see the same advertisement for a particular product

  • Measuring the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and determining whether an ad click resulted in a purchase

  • Enabling retargeting campaigns so that ads for products you viewed on our site may appear on other websites or platforms you visit

If you choose to decline these cookies, you will still see ads, but they will be less tailored to your browsing history. Declining these cookies does not affect the prices you are shown or the products available to you.

3.5 Social Media Cookies

Required: No — These cookies are optional and active only where you interact with social media content embedded on our site.

If our website includes embedded content from or links to social media platforms — such as Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube — those platforms may set their own cookies when you interact with or even simply view that embedded content. These cookies are placed by the social media companies directly and are governed by their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.

These cookies may track your interactions with social media content on our website and can link that activity to your social media profile if you are logged in at the time.

Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device after you close your browser and expire either on a set date or when you manually delete them. Persistent cookies are used for functions such as remembering your login preferences, storing your cookie consent choices, and supporting analytics or advertising tools.

The specific duration of each cookie we use is listed in Section 4 above. If you would like to clear all cookies stored on your device, you can do so at any time through your browser settings.

6. Your Rights and Choices Regarding Cookies

You have several options for managing cookies on our website. The controls available to you may vary depending on your U.S. state of residence, as detailed in Section 7 of this policy.

6.1 Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit https://jdmflorida.com/, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or manage your preferences by category. Your choices are saved using a first-party functional cookie so that you are not prompted again on future visits unless you clear your cookies or your consent expires.

You may revisit and update your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the cookie settings option available at the bottom of our website.

  • Allow cookies only from specific websites you trust

6.3 Opting Out of Third-Party Analytics

If you do not want Google Analytics to collect data about your visit to our website, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript from sending information about your visit to Google.

6.4 Opting Out of Interest-Based Advertising

If you prefer not to receive interest-based advertisements from us or our advertising partners, you may opt out through the following industry-standard opt-out programs:

Please be aware that opting out of interest-based advertising does not mean you will stop seeing advertisements altogether. You will still see ads, but they will not be personalized based on your browsing behavior.

7. State-Specific Privacy Rights

The United States does not currently have a single federal privacy law that governs cookie use for all consumers. However, several U.S. states have enacted their own consumer privacy legislation that grants residents specific rights regarding the collection and use of their personal data, including data collected through cookies. This section explains your rights based on your state of residence.

Regardless of your state of residence, you may contact us at jdmflorida@gmail.com to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data collected about you through cookies or other means.

8. Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing not be tracked. There is currently no legally binding standard in the United States that requires websites to respond to DNT signals in a uniform way. As a result, our website does not currently alter its data collection practices in response to DNT signals.

However, you may manage your cookie preferences directly through our consent management tools as described in Section 6 of this policy or through your browser settings.

9. Cookies and Children

Our website, https://jdmflorida.com/, is intended for adults who are interested in purchasing used Japanese car engines, transmissions, and automotive accessories for personal or commercial use. Our products and services are not directed at children under the age of 13.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child under 13 has provided personal information to us through our website, please contact us at jdmflorida@gmail.com, and we will promptly take steps to delete that information.

Our use of cookies and tracking technologies complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), which prohibits the collection of personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent.
