This policy explains which cookies and similar technologies www.freightmycar.com uses, what they do, how long they last and how you can control them. It applies alongside our Data Protection and Privacy Policy. We keep it short and literal: only the cookies this site actually sets are listed here.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser. Some are needed for the site to work, others measure how the site is used or support advertising. "Similar technologies" means things that do the same job without a cookie file, such as browser local storage and tracking pixels.
You decide about every cookie that is not essential. Our Google tags use Google Consent Mode: they start in a denied state, in which they set no analytics or advertising cookies and send only cookieless signals with no identifier, and they switch to granted for the groups you allow when you choose Accept All, or tick a group and choose Save Preferences. Reject All keeps everything denied.
Essential cookies
These keep the site working and secure. They do not track you across other sites and the site cannot run without them, so the banner shows them as always active.
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|
| freightmycar-session | Freight My Car | Keeps your session together while you move between pages and fill in a form, for example the quote form and its language. | Until you close the browser, or 2 hours of inactivity |
| XSRF-TOKEN | Freight My Car | Security. Proves that a form you submit really came from this site and not from a forged request elsewhere. | 2 hours |
| cookieConsent | Freight My Car | Remembers the choice you made in the cookie banner so we do not ask again. | 12 months |
The quote form also saves your answers in your browser’s local storage, so a closed tab does not lose them. That data stays on your device, is never sent to us until you submit the form, and is deleted automatically after 7 days.
Analytics cookies
Google Tag Manager loads Google Analytics on every page in the denied state described above. Only when you allow analytics does it set these cookies, which tell us which pages are read, how visitors arrive and where they leave, in aggregate. We use the figures to improve the site, not to identify you.
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|
| _ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics | Distinguishes visitors and sessions so page views can be counted. | Up to 2 years |
Google processes this data under its own terms. Where Google acts on our behalf we rely on its data processing terms; see Google’s cookie information.
Marketing cookies
Google Tag Manager also loads Google Ads tags, again in the denied state until you allow marketing. With your consent they record when a visit came from one of our adverts and whether it led to a quote request (a "conversion", measured on the thank-you page), and they let Google show our adverts to people who visited this site. The hosts involved are googleadservices.com, doubleclick.net and googlesyndication.com.
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|
| _gcl_au, _gcl_aw | Google Ads | Links a visit to the advert that brought it, so conversions can be attributed. | 90 days |
| IDE, test_cookie | doubleclick.net | Advert measurement and frequency capping across sites. | Up to 13 months |
Without your consent these tags still receive a cookieless signal that a conversion page was reached, with no identifier, which Google uses to estimate figures in aggregate.
Embedded content you choose to load
Videos and the office map are shown as still images first. Nothing is requested from YouTube or Google Maps until you press play or tap the map. When you do, the content loads from youtube-nocookie.com (YouTube’s privacy-enhanced player) or google.com/maps, and those services may set their own cookies under their own policies. WhatsApp, telephone and email links open the app on your device and set nothing on this site.
How to manage cookies
- The banner. On your first visit choose Accept All, Reject All, or tick the groups you allow and choose Save Preferences. Your choice is kept for 12 months in the cookieConsent cookie.
- Change your mind. Use the Cookie settings link in the footer of every page to open the banner again at any time; your new choice applies at once and updates the Google tags. Deleting the cookieConsent cookie has the same effect.
- Your browser. Every browser lets you view, block and delete cookies. Blocking essential cookies will stop the forms on this site from working.
- Google. You can opt out of Google Analytics with the browser add-on and manage advert personalisation in your Google Ads settings.
Legal basis and your rights
We set essential cookies because they are necessary to provide the website you asked for. We set analytics and marketing cookies only with your consent, which you can withdraw at any time as described above. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that happened before.
Freight My Car, Office 606, Latifa Business Tower, Trade Center, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, is the controller of the personal data these cookies collect. We handle it under the UAE Personal Data Protection Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021) and, for visitors in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, the GDPR and UK GDPR. You have the right to ask what data we hold about you, to have it corrected or erased, to object to or restrict its processing, and to complain to a supervisory authority. The details are in our Data Protection and Privacy Policy.
Changes to this policy
When we add or remove a cookie, or change how long one lasts, we update this page and the date at the top. If a change needs your consent again, the banner will ask you.
