What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.
Cookies can help a website function correctly, remember certain preferences and provide information about how visitors use the website.
Some cookies are necessary for the website to work properly, while others may be used for statistics, functionality or third-party services.
Cookies may be:
- Session cookies, which are normally deleted when you close your browser; or
- Persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them.
Cookies may also be placed directly by MCS or by third-party services used on our website.
Why does MCS use cookies?
We may use cookies and similar technologies to:
- ensure that our website works correctly and securely;
- remember website and cookie preferences;
- understand how visitors use our website;
- improve the performance and usability of the website;
- provide website features such as contact forms and our online chatbot;
- protect forms against spam and automated abuse;
- enable third-party functionality where applicable; and
- measure website traffic and performance.
We do not use cookies to obtain information from your device that is unrelated to your visit to our website.
Types of cookies we may use
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the basic operation, security and functionality of our website.
They may, for example, be used to:
- maintain website sessions;
- remember privacy and cookie choices;
- provide security features;
- prevent fraudulent or automated activity;
- process forms correctly; and
- maintain essential website functionality.
Because these cookies are necessary for the website to operate, they do not normally require your consent.
Disabling strictly necessary cookies through your browser may result in parts of the website no longer functioning correctly.
Analytics and performance cookies
MCS may use analytics technologies, including Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use our website.
Analytics information may include information such as:
- pages visited;
- approximate duration of a visit;
- browser and device information;
- referring pages or websites;
- interactions with website pages; and
- general website usage statistics.
This information helps us understand which parts of the website are useful to visitors and where we can improve our website and services.
Where consent is legally required, analytics cookies will only be activated after you have given your consent through our cookie consent system.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies and similar technologies may be used to provide additional website functionality.
For example, our website contains an online chatbot that enables visitors to ask questions about MCS and our insurance services. Technologies associated with this functionality may be used to maintain a conversation or remember information necessary for the feature to work correctly.
Functional cookies that are not strictly necessary will only be used where permitted and, where required, after you have given your consent.
Third-party cookies and technologies
Some functionality on our website is provided by external services. These services may use their own cookies or similar technologies.
Depending on the page or feature you use, these services may include the following.
Google Analytics
We may use Google Analytics to obtain statistical information about the use and performance of our website.
Google may process information about your device and your interaction with our website in order to provide these analytics services.
Where required, Google Analytics will only be activated after you have consented to analytics cookies.
Google reCAPTCHA
Forms on the MCS website may use Google reCAPTCHA to help distinguish genuine visitors from automated systems and to protect our website against spam and abuse.
When reCAPTCHA is used, certain technical information may be processed by Google for security and fraud-prevention purposes.
Our website contains links that allow visitors to contact MCS through WhatsApp.
When you choose to follow a WhatsApp link, you leave the MCS website and interact with a service operated by a third party. WhatsApp and its related companies may process information in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies.
Simply displaying a link to WhatsApp does not necessarily mean that WhatsApp cookies are placed on your device by the MCS website.
Chatbot
MCS provides an online chatbot to help visitors find information about our insurance products and services.
The chatbot or its supporting software may use local storage, cookies or similar technologies to provide the chat functionality, maintain a session or remember relevant preferences.
Please do not enter unnecessary sensitive personal information into the chatbot.
Cookie consent
When you visit our website, you may be presented with a cookie notice or consent tool.
Where applicable, you can use this tool to accept or reject non-essential categories of cookies.
Strictly necessary cookies may be used without prior consent because they are required for the website or a service specifically requested by you to function correctly.
Analytics, advertising or other non-essential cookies will only be used where we have an appropriate legal basis and, where required by applicable law, after you have provided your consent.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before you withdrew your consent.
How long are cookies stored?
The period for which a cookie remains on your device depends on the type of cookie concerned.
Session cookies are generally removed when you close your browser. Persistent cookies can remain on your device for a longer period.
Where our cookie consent system provides a detailed cookie list, you can use that list to view the applicable cookie provider, purpose and storage period.
We aim to retain information obtained through cookies only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

Most internet browsers allow you to view, delete or block cookies.
You can normally use your browser settings to:
- delete existing cookies;
- block all cookies;
- block third-party cookies;
- receive a warning before cookies are stored; or
- configure cookie permissions for individual websites.
Please be aware that blocking all cookies may affect the operation of the MCS website and certain features may no longer work as intended.
