This policy explains how Spride Networking uses cookies and related technologies when you visit our website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
Effective 21 August 2026
1. About this policy
This Cookie Policy applies to the Spride Networking website and web-based services that link to it. In this policy, “Spride”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to Spride Networking.
Our mobile application may use device identifiers, software development kits, local storage, and similar technologies rather than browser cookies. Where applicable, those technologies are described in this policy and our Privacy Policy.
2. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device when you visit a website. They allow a website to remember information about your visit, such as a preference, session, or consent choice. Some cookies are set by Spride, while others may be set by approved third-party services.
Session cookies generally expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until you delete them.
3. How we use cookies
We may use cookies and similar technologies to:
- operate essential website functions and maintain secure sessions;
- remember settings, location selections, and consent preferences;
- protect forms, accounts, and services against spam, abuse, and fraud;
- understand how visitors use the website and identify technical problems;
- measure performance and improve accessibility and user experience;
- measure page views, app-download clicks, calls to action, registrations, booking attempts, applications, enquiries, and conversions; and
- support approved campaigns or marketing where you have given required consent.
4. Types of cookies we use
| Category | Purpose | Choice |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Security, consent records, session continuity, load balancing, forms, and core website operation | Required for the website to function and cannot normally be disabled through our controls |
| Preferences | Remember language, location, display, and other choices | Used with consent where required and can be disabled |
| Analytics | Measure visits, interactions, performance, errors, and conversion events | Used with consent where required and can be disabled |
| Marketing | Measure approved campaigns and make communications more relevant | Used only where enabled and with any required consent |
The cookies actually present may change as website features and approved service providers change. Our consent controls will reflect the available categories.
5. Similar technologies
We may use local storage, pixels, tags, device or advertising identifiers, and software development kits for purposes similar to cookies. These technologies can help remember settings, measure interactions, diagnose errors, secure services, or understand whether an app download or other action followed a campaign.
6. Third-party services
Approved providers may set or access cookies when they supply analytics, maps, embedded content, spam protection, app-store links, payment functionality, or other website services. These providers may receive technical information such as your IP address, browser, device, page viewed, and interaction time.
Third parties process information under their own terms and privacy notices. We select providers with appropriate care and limit their access according to their role and applicable law. We do not allow non-essential third-party cookies before consent where consent is required.
7. Your cookie choices
When required, we display a consent tool that lets you accept, reject, or manage non-essential cookie categories. Strictly necessary cookies remain active because the website cannot operate securely without them. You may change your consent choice through the cookie settings made available on the website.
You can also delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking all cookies may prevent parts of the website from working correctly, including saved preferences, secure sessions, and certain forms. Browser controls vary, so consult your browser's help documentation for instructions.
Withdrawing consent does not make earlier processing unlawful. It prevents the relevant optional technologies from being used in the future, subject to the time needed to apply your choice.
8. How long cookies remain
Cookie duration depends on its purpose. Session cookies expire when the browser session ends. Persistent cookies remain until their stated expiry date or until you delete them. We set retention periods proportionate to the purpose and periodically review cookies and providers.
Consent records may be retained for longer where reasonably necessary to remember your choice and demonstrate compliance with legal obligations.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when our website, technologies, providers, or legal obligations change. The effective date above identifies the current version. We will provide appropriate notice if a change materially affects your choices or how we use information.
