Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how LDA / L Driving Academy uses cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, protect accounts, remember choices, improve services, and support optional analytics or marketing where consent is required.

Effective from launch. LDA uses necessary cookies for core service operation and asks for consent before using non-essential cookies where required.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small files or similar technologies placed on a device when a person visits a website. They can help a website work, keep a user signed in, remember preferences, measure usage, or support marketing.

Under UK rules, strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent where they are required to provide a service requested by the user. Non-essential cookies generally require clear information and consent before they are used.

2. Strictly necessary cookies

We use necessary cookies and similar storage to provide secure login, account sessions, fraud prevention, booking flows, payment handoff, cookie consent choices, security controls, and core website functionality.

These cookies are needed for the service to work and cannot usually be switched off through the LDA cookie controls. Users may block them in their browser, but parts of the website may stop working.

3. Preference cookies

Preference cookies may remember choices such as language, region, saved interface settings, or cookie preferences. Where required, we will ask for consent before using optional preference cookies.

If a preference is essential to provide a user-requested function, it may be treated as necessary for that function.

4. Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how people use the website, which pages work well, where users experience problems, and how we can improve speed and reliability.

Analytics cookies are not essential to provide the service and should only be used where consent has been obtained, unless a lawful exemption clearly applies and has been documented.

5. Marketing cookies

Marketing cookies may be used to measure campaigns, personalise offers, prevent repeated adverts, or understand referrals. LDA should not use marketing cookies unless the user has given consent where required.

Users can withdraw optional cookie consent through the cookie settings tool when available.

6. Third-party services

Some features may use third-party providers such as Stripe for payments, Google Maps or Places for location features, Supabase for authentication, Vercel for hosting, and email providers for communications. These providers may use cookies or similar technologies as part of their services.

LDA aims to maintain a current cookie table naming each material cookie, provider, purpose, duration, and category as the production service develops.

7. Managing cookies

Users can manage optional cookies through the LDA cookie controls where available and through browser settings. Browser settings can usually block, delete, or limit cookies.

Changing cookie settings may affect sign-in, booking, payment, maps, preferences, or support features.

Policy governance note: LDA should review this page whenever the service, suppliers, payment flow, data processing, cookie use, cancellation rules, or applicable law changes. For live trading, keep business details, processor lists, retention periods, and customer communications accurate and version-controlled.
