This Cookie Policy explains how MMS Driving School uses cookies on its website, the difference between essential and non-essential cookies, and how you can manage or withdraw your consent at any time. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your personal data more generally.
MMS Driving School is a Coventry-based driving school run by owner and principal instructor Muniba Sahily, serving Coventry, Bedworth, Nuneaton, Rugby, Leamington Spa, Warwick, and Kenilworth.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit. They help websites work properly, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors use the site. Similar technologies — such as pixels, tags, and local storage — work in comparable ways, and this policy covers those too.
Essential vs Non-Essential Cookies
Cookies generally fall into two groups:
- Essential (strictly necessary) cookies are needed for the website to function — for example, to keep the site secure, load pages, or remember information you enter on a form. These cookies do not require your consent because the site cannot work properly without them.
- Non-essential cookies are not required for the site to function. They include analytics cookies that measure how visitors use the site, and any preference or marketing cookies. Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR, we can only set non-essential cookies with your consent.
Consent for Non-Essential Cookies
We will not place non-essential cookies on your device until you have given your consent, for example by accepting them through our cookie banner. You are free to accept or reject non-essential cookies, and rejecting them will not stop you from using the core parts of our website. You can change your mind and update your choice at any time using the methods below.
Cookies We Use
The main cookies set through our website and booking come from the services we rely on to run the site securely and to take payments. Our booking uses Gravity Forms, payments are handled by Stripe, and the site is delivered through Cloudflare.
| Cookie | Provider | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
__cf_bm | Cloudflare | Essential | Distinguishes real visitors from bots to keep the site secure | ~30 minutes |
cf_clearance | Cloudflare | Essential | Remembers that your browser passed a security check | Up to 1 year |
__stripe_mid | Stripe | Essential | Helps prevent payment fraud when you pay for lessons | 1 year |
__stripe_sid | Stripe | Essential | Helps prevent payment fraud during a payment session | ~30 minutes |
| Gravity Forms session cookie | Gravity Forms | Functional | Remembers your progress through a multi-step booking form (only if that feature is used) | Session |
These security and payment cookies are essential, so they do not require consent — the site and booking cannot work securely without them. We do not currently use analytics, advertising or marketing cookies on this website, so no cookie-consent banner is required at present. If that changes (for example if we add Google Analytics), we will list the new cookies here and set them only after you consent through a cookie banner.
How to Manage or Withdraw Consent
You have several ways to control cookies:
- Cookie banner: where a cookie banner or preferences tool is available on our site, you can use it to accept, reject, or change your non-essential cookie choices at any time.
- Browser settings: most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies. You can usually find these controls in your browser's “Settings”, “Privacy”, or “Security” menu. Blocking all cookies may affect how some websites work.
- Device controls: your device or browser may offer additional privacy settings to limit tracking.
For guidance on managing cookies in common browsers, please refer to your browser provider's official help pages.
