SafarYaari

Cookie Policy

Effective 27 October 2026

  1. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar browser storage SafarYaari uses on safaryaari.com, why they are used and how you can control them. It should be read together with the SafarYaari Privacy Policy.
  2. A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser. It lets the website recognise your browser on later requests, for example to keep you logged in.
  3. SafarYaari uses two kinds of cookies. Necessary cookies are required for you to log in and use the Platform and cannot be switched off without losing that functionality. Analytics cookies are optional and are set only if you accept them on the cookie notice.
  4. sy_access is set by api.safaryaari.com when you log in. It proves to SafarYaari that your browser is logged in on each request. It lasts 15 minutes and is renewed automatically while you use the Platform.
  5. sy_refresh is set by api.safaryaari.com when you log in. It allows SafarYaari to renew your login silently without asking for your password again. It lasts 30 days and is sent only to SafarYaari's login endpoints.
  6. Both cookies are marked HttpOnly, Secure and SameSite. This means they travel only over encrypted connections, cannot be read by scripts running in the page and are not sent with requests started by other websites.
  7. If you leave "Remember me" unticked when you log in, both cookies are kept only until you close your browser instead of for the periods described above.
  8. During Google Sign-In on a phone, SafarYaari keeps two small values in your browser's session storage while you are redirected to Google and back. They record only which screen you started from and the outcome of the sign-in, and they are removed as soon as the Platform loads again.
  9. When you verify your identity, driving licence or vehicle with DigiLocker, SafarYaari keeps two values in your browser's session storage while you are sent to DigiLocker and back. One holds DigiLocker's reply, a one-time code and a signed reference to your request, or DigiLocker's refusal, until the page you started from has passed it to SafarYaari. The other holds what you had entered on that page, such as a Ride you were listing or the travellers on a seat request with their names, mobile numbers and dates of birth, so that it is not lost. Both are removed when you are back on that page, or when you close the browser tab.
  10. If you tick "Remember me" when you log in, SafarYaari also keeps the email address or mobile number you typed in your browser's local storage (sy.login.identifier), so the log-in box is filled in for you the next time on that browser. It is stored only on your device, is never sent anywhere on its own, holds no password, and is removed the next time you log in with "Remember me" unticked or when you clear the site's data in your browser. On a shared device, leave "Remember me" unticked so the next person does not see it.
  11. While you are logged in, SafarYaari keeps a one-character marker in your browser's local storage (sy.session) recording only that a log-in may exist, so the page can avoid flashing the logged-out view while it checks with the server. It holds no personal data and is removed when you log out or your session ends.
  12. Cloudflare, which protects the Platform from bots and other security threats, may place a short-term security cookie of its own. This cookie is necessary for the protection it provides and does not track you across other websites.
  13. When you use Google Sign-In or a payment gateway, the pages shown to you by Google or the payment gateway may set their own cookies. Those cookies are governed by the privacy and cookie policies of Google or the payment gateway, not by SafarYaari.
  14. When you start typing a place into the search or into a Ride's route, SafarYaari loads Google Maps Platform, provided by Google LLC, to suggest matching places. What you type and your IP address are sent to Google to produce the suggestions. Google Maps Platform sets no cookies on safaryaari.com; any cookies Google keeps for its own websites are governed by Google's privacy policy, not by SafarYaari.
  15. If you accept analytics, SafarYaari loads Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics 4, provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics sets the cookies _ga and _ga_<container id> on safaryaari.com, which last up to 2 years and tell one visit from another without identifying you by name, and sends Google a record of the pages you view and the actions you take on the Platform (for example starting a sign-up or sharing a profile), together with an approximate location derived from your IP address and your device and browser type. SafarYaari uses this to understand how the Platform is used and to improve it. Google's handling of this data is governed by Google's privacy policy.
  16. Neither Google Tag Manager nor Google Analytics loads until you choose Accept on the cookie notice. Your choice, accept or decline, is kept in your browser's local storage (sy.consent) for 12 months, after which you are asked again, and you can change it at any time using the Cookie choices link in the footer of safaryaari.com. Declining does not affect your use of the Platform. SafarYaari does not use advertising cookies, cross-site tracking, session-recording tools or third-party chat widgets.
  17. You can delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking the necessary cookies described above will prevent you from staying logged in to SafarYaari.
  18. SafarYaari may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any revised Cookie Policy will be published on the SafarYaari website and will become effective from the date mentioned in it.
