Cookie Policy

The cookies Moverly sets, what each one does, how long it lasts, and how to control or delete them.

Last updated: Effective from: Version: 1.0

Contents

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Moverly uses them, and what choices you have. By continuing to use the Moverly website, you agree to our use of cookies as described here.

What are cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device — your phone, tablet, or computer — when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide useful information to the website owner.

Cookies are not programmes and cannot carry viruses or malware. They simply store a small amount of data that helps the website remember things about your visit — like your preferred language, what you put in a form, or whether you have visited before.

Some cookies are set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies). Others are set by third-party services that appear on the page, such as analytics tools or payment processors.

How Moverly uses cookies

Moverly uses cookies for the following purposes:

  • To keep the booking form working correctly as you move between steps.
  • To remember your selections — such as your home type, areas, and date — if you navigate away and return.
  • To process payments securely through Stripe.
  • To understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it.
  • To keep the platform secure and detect unusual activity.

Moverly does not use cookies to serve advertising, track you across other websites, or build a profile of your browsing habits beyond our own platform.

Types of cookies we use

We use three categories of cookies:

Essential cookies Required

These are necessary for the website to function. Without them, core features like the booking form, payment processing, and your session security will not work. You cannot opt out of essential cookies.

Cookie namePurposeDuration
session_idMaintains your session while you complete a bookingSession (deleted when you close your browser)
csrf_tokenSecurity token to prevent cross-site request forgerySession
booking_draftTemporarily stores your booking form data so you do not lose it if you navigate away24 hours
cookie_consentRemembers your cookie preference so we do not show you the consent banner on every visit12 months

Functional cookies Optional

These improve your experience by remembering your preferences. The site works without them, but some convenience features may not be available.

Cookie namePurposeDuration
localeRemembers your language preference12 months
last_areaRemembers the Dubai area you last searched from, to pre-fill the form on return visits30 days

Analytics cookies Optional

These help us understand how visitors use the site — which pages are visited most, where visitors drop off in the booking flow, and how we can improve the experience. All data collected is anonymised and aggregated. We cannot identify individual users from analytics data.

Cookie nameSet byPurposeDuration
_gaGoogle AnalyticsDistinguishes unique visitors for traffic analysis2 years
_ga_*Google AnalyticsMaintains session state for analytics2 years

Third-party cookies

Some cookies on the Moverly website are set by third-party services we use to operate the platform. These are:

  • Stripe — our payment processor sets cookies to facilitate secure payment processing and fraud prevention. These are essential and cannot be disabled while making a payment. Stripe's cookie and privacy practices are governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy (opens in a new tab).
  • Google Analytics — we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Moverly website. Google Analytics uses anonymised data and does not allow us to identify individual visitors. You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on (opens in a new tab).

We do not use Facebook Pixel, TikTok tracking, advertising networks, or any third-party cookie for the purpose of retargeting or serving ads.

How to control cookies

You have several ways to control or delete cookies:

Browser settings

All modern browsers let you view, manage, and delete cookies through their settings. The links below take you to instructions for the most common browsers:

What happens if you disable cookies

If you disable essential cookies, the Moverly booking process will not function correctly — you may not be able to complete a booking or process a payment. We recommend keeping essential cookies enabled while using the platform.

Disabling functional or analytics cookies will not affect your ability to make a booking. The site will work normally, but we will not be able to improve the experience based on usage data.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting. Moverly currently does not respond to Do Not Track signals, as there is no agreed industry standard for handling them. We do not use advertising tracking regardless of this setting.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as we add new features or third-party services to the platform. The date of the most recent update is shown at the top of this page.

If we add new categories of cookies that require your consent, we will notify you via a cookie consent banner on the website.
