The instructor portal at portal.driveround.co.uk uses essential browser storage to keep you signed in and to remember your choices (for example the map type), and Google Analytics cookies (_ga, _ga_*, 2 years) to count how many instructors use the portal and which pages they use.
Analytics cookies are only set if you choose Accept in the portal's cookie banner; nothing is sent to Google Analytics before that. Analytics identifies you by a one-way code made from your account, never your name or email, and is not used for advertising. You can change your choice at any time in the portal under Settings → Analytics cookies.
The Drive Round mobile app does not use browser cookies. It uses local device storage and Firebase Authentication tokens. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
