This Cookie Policy explains how DrivingLicenceDownload.net may use cookies, local storage and similar browser technologies. It also explains how to accept, reject or change optional preferences.
Quick Answer
The website may use essential browser storage to operate safely and remember your cookie choice. Optional analytics or advertising technologies should be used only when those services are enabled and the required consent or other lawful condition applies.
The site preference panel stores categories—not your driving-licence number, Aadhaar number, date of birth, OTP, password or government record.
What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
A cookie is a small text value that a website or service provider asks a browser to store. Websites may also use local storage, pixels, tags or software-development interfaces for similar functions. These technologies can remember a choice, maintain security, measure visits, limit repeated ads or support advertising.
Some technologies are set directly by the website. Others may be set by a provider whose service appears on the website, such as a security, analytics or advertising provider.
Cookie and Storage Categories
| Category | Typical purpose | Preference status |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Security, network delivery, fraud prevention and remembering the visitor's cookie selection | Always active where technically required |
| Functional | Remember non-essential interface choices, such as display or convenience settings | Optional unless needed for a requested feature |
| Analytics | Count visits, understand general navigation and diagnose performance | Optional; activate only according to the saved preference and applicable requirements |
| Advertising | Deliver, limit, measure or personalise ads and detect invalid traffic | Optional; activate only according to the saved preference and applicable requirements |
The exact names and lifetimes of provider cookies can change. The provider's live documentation and the browser's storage panel show the current technical values.
The Preference Record Used by This Site
When you choose Accept optional, Reject optional or save custom settings, this website may store a first-party preference record in your browser. It records:
- The policy/consent version
- Whether analytics is allowed
- Whether advertising is allowed
- The date and time the preference was saved
This record allows the site to remember the selection on the same browser. It is not designed to contain a DL number, name, DOB, Aadhaar number or OTP. Clearing site data removes the stored selection and may cause the preference panel to appear again.
Essential Technologies
Essential technologies may operate without an optional-cookie selection when they are necessary to deliver a page, secure the site, balance traffic, remember a privacy choice or prevent abuse. Blocking them at browser level can affect website availability or cause the preference panel to reappear.
Analytics
If analytics is enabled, it may process information such as pages viewed, approximate location, device/browser category, referrer, interaction events and performance data. Analytics should be configured to avoid requesting driving-licence credentials and should respect the relevant preference signal.
The purpose is to understand whether guides are useful, find broken navigation and improve site performance. Analytics reports may contain aggregated or pseudonymous information rather than a government identity record.
Advertising and Google AdSense
If Google AdSense or another advertising service is enabled, advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies to select and display ads, prevent fraud, limit repetition, measure delivery and personalise ads where allowed and consented to.
Google explains that third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on a visitor's earlier visits to this and other websites. Visitors can learn about or control Google's advertising personalisation through Google's advertising settings.
For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, Google advertising may require a Google-certified consent-management platform. The website's basic preference panel is a transparency and local-choice control; it must not be presented as a replacement for a certified platform where one is required.
External Government Platforms
Links to Sarathi, Parivahan, DigiLocker, mParivahan, UMANG, state transport websites and other official services open external websites. Those services may set their own cookies or local storage under their own policies. Our saved preference does not control storage on a different domain.
Review the destination's privacy and cookie information before entering personal data.
Your Choices
You can control optional categories in several ways:
- Use Manage Cookie Preferences on this page or in the footer.
- Reject optional categories when the banner first appears.
- Change the selection later; the new choice replaces the previous preference on that browser.
- Delete cookies or site storage through browser settings.
- Use provider-level advertising or analytics controls where available.
Withdrawing a preference does not automatically erase information already processed lawfully before withdrawal. It should stop future optional activation controlled by the site's preference mechanism.
Browser Controls
Most browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies and site storage. Blocking all storage may affect essential functions. Instructions vary by browser and device; use the browser's current privacy or site-data settings.
Private-browsing modes commonly remove or isolate storage after the private session ends, but the browser provider controls that behaviour.
Retention
Cookie and local-storage lifetimes depend on purpose and provider configuration. Session technologies normally end when the browser session closes. Persistent values remain until their configured expiry, replacement or deletion. The site preference record may persist so the website does not repeatedly ask the same question; you can clear it or update it using the preference control.
Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this policy if website features, providers, consent requirements or cookie categories change. The current effective date appears at the top. When a material change affects an existing choice, the site may request a new selection.
