Cookie Policy

Last updated: June 4, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Driving School Desk uses them on our marketing website (drivingschooldesk.com), and the choices available to you.

Good to know: the booking widget that driving schools embed on their own websites does not set cookies in the parent page, so adding our widget won't change your site's cookie footprint.
