Cookie Policy

Last updated: 21 July 2026

1. Introduction

Free Car Tax MOT Check uses a small number of cookies to make the website work. This policy explains what they are and what we actually use them for — no more, no less.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember things between page loads, like your cookie consent choice.

3. Cookies We Actually Use

We keep this list to what's genuinely set by this website:

Cookie	Purpose	Type
sessionid	Standard Django session cookie, used for basic site functionality	Strictly necessary
csrftoken	Security cookie that protects forms (like our contact form) from cross-site attacks	Strictly necessary
cookie_consent	Remembers that you've seen and responded to our cookie banner	Strictly necessary

We don't currently use analytics, advertising or third-party tracking cookies. If that changes, this policy will be updated before any such cookies are added.

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

The cookies listed above are all strictly necessary for the site to function, so there isn't a preference toggle for them. You can still control cookies at the browser level:

Google Chrome

Click the three dots (⋮) in the top right
Go to Settings → Privacy and security
Click "Cookies and other site data"

Safari / Firefox / Edge

Cookie controls are in each browser's Privacy settings — search your browser's help pages for "manage cookies" for exact steps.

Blocking the strictly necessary cookies above may stop parts of the site (like the contact form) from working correctly.

5. Updates to This Cookie Policy

If the cookies we use change — for example if we add analytics in future — we'll update this page and the date below before doing so.

6. Contact Us
