We take sensible precautions to keep Mobile Mechanic Near Me safe and usable for everyone who visits. That means tracking only the activity we need to: enough to keep you signed in, keep the directory running smoothly, and keep spam, scraping and abuse out. Our cookies never hold your name, email address or other personal details, we never use them for advertising, and we never sell what they record. This policy explains what we use and why. It goes together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What Cookies Are
A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser so it can remember you from one page to the next. Websites can also keep small amounts of information in your browser in similar ways. In this policy, "cookies" covers all of them.
Some disappear when you close your browser. Others stay for a while, until they expire or you clear them.
2. Why We Use Them
Only what is necessary. Everything we store in your browser serves one of the purposes below, and nothing else.
3. The Cookies We Use
- Essential. When you sign in, a cookie keeps you signed in as you move around the site. It holds a random code and nothing about you. Signing out removes it.
- Security and abuse protection. These help us recognize a returning browser and tell real visitors from automated traffic, so we can stop spam, fake accounts, scraping and attacks before they reach anyone. They hold random codes, not who you are.
- Preferences. These remember small things, such as how you like a list displayed, or a review you started writing while you sign in, so you do not lose your place.
- Visit totals. These help us count visits to the directory and to each listing as totals, so business owners can see how their listing is doing. They are not used to build a profile of you.
4. What We Never Do
Keeping the site safe does not require knowing who you are, so we do not try to. Mobile Mechanic Near Me never:
- Uses advertising cookies, or builds a profile of what you look at to sell or target ads
- Sells or rents what our cookies record, or shares it for anyone else's marketing
- Tracks you across other websites
- Puts your name, email address or other personal details in a cookie
5. Trusted Service Providers
A few trusted providers help us host, protect and run the site, for example the quick check on some forms that confirms you are a person, and the secure page that handles payment if you buy a marketing service. They may set their own strictly necessary cookies to do that job, under their own privacy policies, and they may not use them to advertise to you.
Listing pages also link out to business websites and social profiles. Once you follow a link, that site's cookies and policies apply, not ours.
6. How to Control Cookies
Every browser lets you see, block and delete cookies. The settings usually live here:
The public directory keeps working if you block or clear cookies. You will be signed out, preferences will reset, and some forms may ask you to confirm you are a person more often.
7. Do Not Track & Global Privacy Control
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" or Global Privacy Control signal. We do not track you across other websites, sell personal information or use it for advertising, so every visitor is already treated as if the signal were on.
8. Changes to This Policy
We update this policy when the way we use cookies changes, and update the date at the top. A significant change is announced on the site before it takes effect.
