What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on a user’s device — including mobile phones, desktop computers, and tablets — when the user visits a website. Cookies store specific information about the user’s session, preferences, and interactions with the website, enabling the website to recognize returning visitors, maintain session continuity, and measure usage patterns.

Categories of Cookies Used

auditransmissionrepair.ae uses 3 categories of cookies: strictly necessary cookies, analytics cookies, and preference cookies. Each category serves a distinct operational purpose and is governed by a separate consent requirement.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are active on every visit to auditransmissionrepair.ae and cannot be turned off without impairing core website functionality. These cookies do not collect personally identifiable information and do not require user consent under UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021.

Functions Enabled by Strictly Necessary Cookies

1. Booking form functionality: Maintaining session continuity across the multi-step service booking form, preserving entered vehicle details, selected service location, and contact information between form steps.
2. Session security: Protecting user sessions against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) and session hijacking during booking submissions and form interactions.
3. Mobile-responsive layout: Detecting device type — mobile, desktop, or tablet — to serve the correctly formatted layout for the user’s screen size.
4. Cookie consent management: Recording the user’s cookie consent decision to prevent repeated display of the consent banner on subsequent visits.
5. Load balancing: Distributing website traffic across servers to maintain consistent page load performance during high-demand periods.

Cookie Consent

H3 Consent Banner

Users visiting auditransmissionrepair.ae for the first time are presented with a cookie consent banner that clearly identifies the 3 cookie categories in use — strictly necessary, analytics, and preference — and provides individual toggle controls for each non-essential category.

Consent Options

The cookie consent banner presents users with 3 consent options.

1. Accept All Cookies — Activates strictly necessary, analytics, and preference cookies simultaneously.
2. Accept Selected Cookies — Activates only the categories individually toggled to active by the user, while strictly necessary cookies remain active regardless of selection.
3. Reject Non-Essential Cookies — Activates strictly necessary cookies only. Analytics and preference cookies remain inactive for the duration of the visit and all subsequent visits until consent is updated.

Consent Record

800Sayara records each user’s consent decision — including the date, time, consent option selected, and cookie categories activated — in the consent_status cookie stored on the user’s device. Consent records are retained for 12 months, matching the consent_status cookie expiry period.

Updating Consent

Users update their cookie consent preferences at any time by accessing the Cookie Settings link in the footer of every page on auditransmissionrepair.ae. Updated consent preferences take effect immediately upon confirmation.

Third-Party Cookies

auditransmissionrepair.ae activates third-party cookies from 1 external provider — Google LLC — through Google Analytics 4 and Google Search Console integrations. Third-party cookies placed by Google are governed by Google’s Privacy Policy and the Google Ads Data Processing Terms. 800Sayara does not control the data processing practices of Google LLC beyond the anonymized data sharing configuration applied within the Google Analytics 4 account settings for auditransmissionrepair.ae.

No advertising network cookies, social media tracking cookies, or remarketing cookies are placed on auditransmissionrepair.ae.

How to Manage Cookies Through Your Browser

All major browsers provide built-in controls for managing, blocking, and deleting cookies independently of website-level consent settings. The following 5 browsers provide cookie management instructions through their respective support pages.

1. Google Chrome — Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and Other Site Data
2. Mozilla Firefox — Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and Site Data
3. Safari (iOS and macOS) — Settings → Safari → Privacy and Security → Block All Cookies
4. Microsoft Edge — Settings → Cookies and Site Permissions → Manage and Delete Cookies
5. Samsung Internet (Android) — Settings → Privacy → Cookies

Disabling all cookies through browser settings prevents strictly necessary cookies from functioning on auditransmissionrepair.ae. This impairs 3 core functions: booking form session continuity, session security protection, and cookie consent recording. 800Sayara recommends managing non-essential cookie preferences through the Cookie Settings panel on auditransmissionrepair.ae rather than through blanket browser-level cookie blocking.

Analytics and preference cookies placed on auditransmissionrepair.ae do not collect personally identifiable information — including full name, phone number, email address, or vehicle registration number — in isolation. Cookie data that is combined with personally identifiable information submitted through the auditransmissionrepair.ae booking form is processed in accordance with the 800Sayara Privacy Policy available at auditransmissionrepair.ae/privacy-policy and UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data.
