This Cookie Policy explains how MOTChecker.co.uk (operated by Sawtry Media Limited) uses cookies when you visit our website.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the website work and remember certain choices you make.

3. Cookies We Use

We keep cookies to a minimum. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies, and we do not use third-party analytics cookies.

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are needed for the website to work and cannot be switched off:

  • ASP.NET_SessionId: A session cookie that keeps track of your visit, including the free daily check allowance, the temporary guest reference used for unregistered visitors, and anti-spam checks on our search forms. It is deleted when you close your browser
  • .MOTAUTH: Keeps you signed in to your account. It is only set when you sign in. If you tick "Remember me", it lasts for up to 30 days; otherwise it ends when you close your browser

3.2 Preference Cookies

  • promo_minimised: Remembers whether you have minimised the promotional banner at the bottom of the page. Lasts 30 days

4. Third-Party Cookies

When you buy a valuation, you are taken to a secure checkout page hosted by Stripe. Stripe may set its own cookies on that page for payment processing and fraud prevention. These are covered by Stripe's own cookie policy.

If you follow a link to a partner or sister website, that site may set its own cookies, which are covered by its own policies.

5. Managing Cookies

You can view, block and delete cookies through your browser settings. If you block strictly necessary cookies you will not be able to sign in, and the free checks may not work correctly.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
