This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use on the Mauritian Rides website, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners. Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser (session cookies); others remain on your device for a set period (persistent cookies).
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies to keep the platform functioning correctly, to remember your preferences, and — where applicable — to understand how visitors use our site. We do not use cookies to serve advertising or to track you across unrelated websites.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to work and cannot be switched off without breaking core functionality. No consent is required for these.
- Session cookies — maintain your session as you navigate the site, for example while completing a booking form.
- Security / nonce tokens — short-lived tokens that verify form submissions and requests come from legitimate sources and not from malicious third parties.
- WooCommerce cart cookies — used during the driver subscription checkout to maintain cart and order state. These apply to drivers completing a purchase and are not set for general visitors.
Functional Cookies
These enable enhanced functionality and personalisation. The site works without them, but your experience may be less convenient.
- Currency and locale preferences — remember your chosen currency or language for your next visit.
- Form state — help retain partially completed form data temporarily so you do not lose your input.
Analytics Cookies
We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are visited most often. If analytics are active, the cookies set are used only to produce aggregated, anonymised reports and are not used to identify individual users. We will update this section if and when a specific analytics service is in use.
Third-Party Cookies — Google Maps
Our booking form uses Google Maps for address autocomplete and map display. When the Maps component loads, Google may set its own cookies, governed by Google's Privacy Policy and outside our direct control. If you prefer not to receive Google's cookies, you can disable JavaScript for the maps component, though this will prevent address autocomplete from working.
What We Do Not Use Cookies For
- We do not serve advertising cookies or participate in ad networks.
- We do not use cookies to track your activity across other websites.
- We do not sell or share cookie data with data brokers.
Managing Cookies in Your Browser
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings — viewing stored cookies, deleting them, blocking all or third-party cookies, or being notified before a cookie is placed. Guidance for common browsers:
- Google Chrome — Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox — Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Safari — Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge — Settings > Cookies and site permissions
Disabling strictly necessary cookies will impair or break core functionality, including booking forms and the driver checkout process.
Consent
Strictly necessary cookies are placed without consent as they are essential for the site to function. Where we use functional or analytics cookies, we will seek your consent through a cookie notice when you first visit the site. You may withdraw consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy if we add or remove cookies or change the services we use. When changes are made, we will post the updated policy on this page.
