Ford's website uses a consent management platform (OneTrust) to manage cookie and tracking preferences. Users can accept, reject, or customize which categories of cookies are active on their device when visiting ford.com.
This analysis describes what Ford's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
The cookie consent system determines what tracking technologies collect data about your browsing behavior; choices made at the consent banner affect what data Ford and its advertising partners can collect during your visit.
Interpretive note: The full scope of data collected and shared through each cookie category is not detailed in the visible terms text; the consent management configuration in the page code suggests category-based controls but full vendor mapping is not confirmed from the document alone.
Users are presented with cookie consent options when visiting ford.com, and their selections determine the scope of behavioral and advertising tracking applied to their session; declining non-essential cookies reduces the data collected about browsing activity.

Monitoring

(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The OneTrust-based consent management infrastructure visible in this document engages GDPR and ePrivacy Directive requirements for EU users, CCPA opt-out rights for California residents, and potentially the UK PECR regime for UK visitors. The FTC's guidance on tracking and data collection in digital advertising contexts is also relevant. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The presence of a consent management platform indicates awareness of applicable consent obligations, but compliance teams should verify that consent categories are correctly mapped to actual tracking technologies, that opt-out signals are honored, and that the consent record is maintained as required under GDPR and CCPA. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA users require a lawful basis for each processing purpose and valid consent for non-essential cookies under GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive. California residents have CCPA rights including the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information collected through tracking technologies. UK users are subject to PECR. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Third-party scripts loaded conditionally based on consent category (including Adobe analytics and advertising tags visible in the page code) should be assessed through vendor data processing agreements to ensure downstream data handling aligns with user consent choices. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should audit the consent category taxonomy in the OneTrust configuration, verify that script blocking is functioning correctly for users who decline categories, review data processing agreements with all third-party vendors whose scripts are conditionally loaded, and confirm that consent records are stored and retrievable for audit purposes.
