Cookie and On-Device Storage Notice
What the platform stores on your device, why, and why there is no consent banner: nothing stored is used for analytics, advertising or tracking.
1. The short version
FleetVerified sets no advertising cookies, no third-party analytics and no cross-site tracking of any kind. It uses a small number of strictly necessary and functional storage items on your own device so that you can stay signed in, keep working when the signal drops, and not lose a half-finished inspection.
UK law (PECR regulation 6) requires consent before storing information on your device unless that storage is strictly necessary to provide the service you asked for. Every item below is either strictly necessary or a functional item without which the feature you deliberately used would not work. That is why there is no accept/reject banner: there is nothing to reject that would leave a working product behind.
3. What is stored on your device
| Item | Technology | Purpose | Classification | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| sb-…-auth-token | Local storage | Keeps you signed in and refreshes your session. Without it you would be signed out on every page load. | Strictly necessary | Until sign-out or session expiry |
| fleetcomply.deviceToken | Local storage | Random identifier for this device so a trusted device can be recognised and so two-step verification is not demanded on every sign-in. | Strictly necessary (security) | Persistent until cleared; the matching server-side trust expires after 30 days |
| fleetcomply.mfaSatisfied | Session storage | Records that two-step verification has been completed for this browser session. | Strictly necessary (security) | Cleared when the tab closes |
| fc:post-auth | Session storage | Remembers the page you were heading to — for example an invitation link — so you land there after signing in. | Strictly necessary | Cleared immediately after use |
| fleetcomply.activeCompany | Local storage | Remembers which operator workspace you last had open, for people who belong to more than one. | Functional | Persistent until cleared |
| Walkaround check drafts | Local storage | Keeps a part-completed inspection on your device so a dropped signal or a closed tab does not lose the work. | Functional | Deleted when the check is submitted |
| fleetcomply-offline | IndexedDB | Holds queued work — checks, defects, photographs, labour entries — created while offline, until it can be synchronised. | Strictly necessary (offline working) | Deleted as each item synchronises; cleared on sign-out |
Nothing in the table is shared with a third party, used to build a profile, or read across other websites. None of it is a cookie, so none of it is transmitted automatically with every request.
4. Analytics and marketing
None are in use. There is no Google Analytics, no advertising pixel, no session-recording tool, no heat-mapping and no marketing tag. Usage insight is derived from server-side counts that are not tied to an individual's browsing.
If we ever introduce a non-essential technology we will implement prior consent and a preference centre before it runs, not afterwards, and it will be off by default.
5. Signing in with Google — assessed separately
Google sign-in is an authentication mechanism, not a tracking technology, and it should not be confused with Google Analytics or advertising products. It runs only if you choose it.
- It is strictly necessary for the sign-in you asked for, so it does not require a consent banner.
- Choosing it takes you to Google's own domain, where Google sets its own cookies under its own privacy policy. That happens on Google's site, not ours.
- We receive only your name, email address and Google account identifier — enough to identify your account. We receive no contacts, no calendar and no advertising data.
- We do not embed Google fonts, tag managers, reCAPTCHA or any other Google resource that would load on a page before you make that choice.
- You can use email and password instead if you would prefer not to involve Google at all.
6. Your control
Signing out clears the session items and the offline queue for that account. You can clear all site data at any time through your browser settings. Doing so signs you out, forgets the trusted device (so two-step verification will be requested again), and discards any unsynchronised offline work — so please synchronise first.
