What changed in this version:
The short version: Driverr does not use advertising cookies, tracking cookies or any third-party tracking cookies. We only store data locally on your device that is strictly necessary to run the app. You are never tracked across other websites.
Cookies are small text files that websites store in your browser to remember information about you. Traditional cookies are used by many websites for purposes ranging from keeping you logged in, to tracking your behaviour across the internet for advertising.
Driverr is a Progressive Web App (PWA) - it works more like a native mobile app than a traditional website. Rather than using traditional browser cookies, Driverr uses a browser technology called localStorage to store data locally on your device. Under UK law and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), localStorage falls under the same regulatory framework as cookies and we are required to tell you about it.
We want to be completely transparent with you. Here is exactly what Driverr does and does not do:
Driverr uses browser localStorage - a local storage mechanism built into your device's browser - to store data that is strictly necessary for the app to function. This data never leaves your device unless you have enabled cloud sync as part of a Pro subscription.
The following data is stored locally on your device using localStorage. All of it is necessary for the app to work correctly:
| What is stored | Why it is stored | How long | Shared? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Theme preference (dark/light mode) | Remembers your display preference | Until you change it | Never |
| Saved home location | Pre-fills your starting location for shift end reminder | Until you change it | Never |
| Navigation app preference | Remembers whether you prefer Google Maps, Waze or Apple Maps | Until you change it | Never |
| Onboarding status | Remembers you have completed the welcome setup so it does not show again | Permanent | Never |
| Driver name and preferences | Personalises your greeting and app experience | Until account deleted | Never |
| Shift and ride data cache | Stores your logged shifts and rides locally for fast loading and offline use | Until account deleted | Synced to account only if Pro |
| Active shift state | Remembers if you have a shift running when you close and reopen the app | Until shift ends | Never |
| Weekly target setting | Remembers your earnings target | Until you change it | Never |
| Session authentication token | Keeps you logged in securely between app opens (managed by Supabase Auth) | 1 hour, auto-refreshed | Never |
| Notification preference | Stores whether shift and renewal notifications are enabled or disabled | Until you change it | Never |
| More section tab order | Remembers your preferred order of tabs in the More section | Until you change it | Never |
| Dev mode settings (preview only) | Testing flags used during development - not present in production app | Session only | Never |
Driverr integrates with several third-party services to provide features. Here is what each service stores or accesses:
Supabase manages your account login and stores your data in the cloud (Pro subscribers only). Supabase uses secure session tokens stored in localStorage to keep you logged in. These tokens are managed by Supabase Auth and expire automatically. Supabase does not set advertising cookies.
If you choose to sign in with Google, Google's authentication service sets its own session cookies in your browser to verify your identity. These are standard authentication cookies set by Google and are not used for advertising within Driverr. Google's cookie policy applies to this process.
We request live data from Transport for London's API to show tube and rail disruption status. TfL does not set any cookies through Driverr. Only anonymous API requests are made - your identity is never shared with TfL.
We request weather data from Open-Meteo using your GPS coordinates. Open-Meteo does not set any cookies. Only your location coordinates are sent to retrieve relevant weather data - no personal information is shared.
We request event data from Ticketmaster for your registered city. Ticketmaster does not set any cookies through our API integration. No personal information is shared with Ticketmaster.
We request live rail disruption data from Transport API (transportapi.com) for major London rail terminals. Transport API does not set any cookies through our integration. Only anonymous API requests are made - your identity is never shared with Transport API.
We use Plausible Analytics to understand how drivers use the app and website. Plausible is a privacy-first analytics tool that collects no personally identifiable data and sets no cookies. It tracks anonymous page views and session counts only. No personal information is shared with Plausible. Privacy policy at plausible.io/privacy
When you subscribe to Driverr Pro, Stripe processes your payment. Stripe sets its own secure cookies for fraud prevention and payment processing purposes. These are strictly necessary for processing payments and are not used for advertising. Stripe's cookie policy applies at stripe.com/cookie-settings
Unlike traditional cookies, localStorage cannot be controlled through a cookie consent banner - it is part of the app's core functionality. However you have full control over your data:
You can clear all locally stored Driverr data at any time by:
If you signed in with Google, you can manage Google's authentication cookies through your browser settings or Google Account settings at myaccount.google.com.
Stripe's payment cookies are strictly necessary for processing payments and cannot be disabled without preventing payment processing. You can view Stripe's cookie policy at stripe.com/cookie-settings.
No. Driverr does not use cookies or any tracking technology for advertising purposes. We do not:
Driverr's only revenue comes from driver subscriptions and B2B business partner fees. We have no financial incentive to advertise to you or share your data with advertisers. This is a deliberate business decision and a core part of our values as a driver-first company.
If we introduce any new cookies or tracking technologies in the future, we will update this policy and notify you in advance. We will always ask for your consent before using any non-essential cookies.
We commit to never introducing advertising cookies or selling your data for advertising purposes. This is a founding principle of Driverr and will not change.
Our use of strictly necessary localStorage is based on legitimate interests under UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR). These storage items are essential for the app to function and cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality.
We do not require your consent for strictly necessary localStorage under PECR as it is essential for providing the service you have requested. If we ever introduce non-essential storage or cookies, we will seek your explicit consent first.
If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy or how we use local storage, please contact us:
You can also contact the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk if you have concerns about how we use cookies or local storage.
