COOKIE POLICY
We use cookies to help improve your experience of https://mullenusa.com.
This cookie policy is part of Mullen Automotive Inc.’s privacy policy,
and covers the use of cookies between your device and our site. We also
provide basic information on third-party services we may use, who may
also use cookies as part of their service, though they are not covered
by our policy.
If you don’t wish to accept cookies from us, you should instruct your
browser to refuse cookies from https://mullenusa.com., with the
understanding that we may be unable to provide you with some of your

WHAT IS A COOKIE?
A cookie is a small piece of data that a website stores on your device when you visit,
typically containing information about the website itself, a unique identifier that
allows the site to recognize your web browser when you return, additional data that
serves the purpose of the cookie, and the lifespan of the cookie itself.
Cookies are used to enable certain features (eg. logging in), to track site usage
(eg. analytics), to store your user settings (eg. timezone, notification preferences),
and to personalize your content (eg. advertising, language).
Cookies set by the website you are visiting are normally referred to as “first-party
cookies”, and typically only track your activity on that particular site. Cookies
set by other sites and companies (ie. third parties) are called “third-party
cookies”, and can be used to track you on other websites that use the same
third-party service.
TYPES OF COOKIES AND HOW WE USE THEM
Essential cookies
Essential cookies are crucial to your experience of a website, enabling core
features like user logins, account management, shopping carts and payment
processing. We use essential cookies to enable certain functions on our website.
Performance cookies
Performance cookies are used in the tracking of how you use a website during
your visit, without collecting personal information about you. Typically,
this information is anonymous and aggregated with information tracked across
all site users, to help companies understand visitor usage patterns, identify
and diagnose problems or errors their users may encounter, and make better
strategic decisions in improving their audience’s overall website experience.
These cookies may be set by the website you’re visiting (first-party) or by
third-party services. We use performance cookies on our site.
Functionality cookies
Functionality cookies are used in collecting information about your device
and any settings you may configure on the website you’re visiting (like
language and time zone settings). With this information, websites can
provide you with customized, enhanced or optimized content and services.
These cookies may be set by the website you’re visiting (first-party) or
by third-party service. We use functionality cookies for selected features
on our site.
Targeting/advertising cookies
Targeting/advertising cookies are used in determining what promotional
content is more relevant and appropriate to you and your interests.
Websites may use them to deliver targeted advertising or to limit the
number of times you see an advertisement. This helps companies improve
the effectiveness of their campaigns and the quality of content presented
to you. These cookies may be set by the website you’re visiting (first-party)
or by third-party services. Targeting/advertising cookies set by
third-parties may be used to track you on other websites that use the
same third-party service. We use targeting/advertising cookies on our site.
Third-party cookies on our site
We may employ third-party companies and individuals on our websites—for
example, analytics providers and content partners. We grant these third
parties access to selected information to perform specific tasks on our
behalf. They may also set third-party cookies in order to deliver the
services they are providing. Third-party cookies can be used to track
you on other websites that use the same third-party service. As we have
no control over third-party cookies, they are not covered by Mullen
Automotive Inc.’s cookie policy.
Our third-party privacy promise
We review the privacy policies of all our third-party providers before
enlisting their services to ensure their practices align with ours.
We will never knowingly include third-party services that compromise
or violate the privacy of our users.
How you can control or opt out of cookies
If you do not wish to accept cookies from us, you can instruct your
browser to refuse cookies from our website. Most browsers are
configured to accept cookies by default, but you can update these
settings to either refuse cookies altogether, or to notify you when
a website is trying to set or update a cookie.
If you browse websites from multiple devices, you may need to update
your settings on each individual device.
Although some cookies can be blocked with little impact on your
experience of a website, blocking all cookies may mean you are
unable to access certain features and content across the sites
you visit.
This policy is effective as of January 1, 2020.
