Cookies
Clyde Flip doesn't set cookies for visitors and doesn't use analytics or advertising trackers. (The only cookie on this site is a strictly necessary sign-in cookie for the site admin.)
Affiliate cookies: some links to vehicle history check providers (Motorscan, HPI Check and carVertical) are affiliate links. Clyde Flip may earn a commission if you buy through them, at no extra cost to you. If you click one, the provider or its affiliate network (such as Webgains) may set a cookie on their site to record that you came from us. Those cookies are controlled by them and covered by their own cookie and privacy policies. See our affiliate disclosure.

- Email list: enter your address on the unsubscribe page. It's deleted straight away.
- Messages or listings: send a request through the contact form and we'll delete them.
- You can also ask what we hold about you, or ask us to correct it, the same way. You have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
