Using Motor Maat
Motor Maat publishes general motoring and insurance information for Cape Town and South African drivers. These terms describe use of this website. Cookie consent is a separate choice: browsing the site does not mean you have accepted optional cookies.
Our content is for general information and does not take your individual circumstances into account. It is not personal financial, insurance or legal advice. Check relevant product information and seek appropriately authorised advice before making a decision.
We aim to keep our content useful and accurate, but information can change and the website may occasionally be unavailable. Nothing in these terms limits rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Please use the site responsibly. Do not submit misleading requests, interfere with its operation or attempt to access information or systems without permission. You are welcome to share links to our articles. Respect copyright and other rights when copying or reusing content.
Requests to compare cover
Submitting a request does not create an insurance policy, guarantee a quote or establish an advice relationship. Any cover offered by a provider is subject to that provider’s terms and acceptance.
We use the details you submit to handle your request and, with your permission, share it with a suitable insurance provider or authorised intermediary. Marketing updates are optional. Please read the choices on the request form and our privacy notice.
Links to other websites are provided for convenience. Those websites and any services they offer have their own terms and privacy practices.
Cookie policy
Cookies are small pieces of information saved in your browser. Similar browser storage can also remember preferences. We use the following on the public Motor Maat website.
Remembering your choice
We save your analytics preference in your browser’s local storage so we can apply it on future visits. This preference record is not an analytics cookie and does not measure your browsing activity. It remains until you change it, clear your browser’s site data or your browser removes it.
Optional analytics cookies
With your permission, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site and improve our content and features. Its cookies distinguish browsers and associate activity across visits. We measure pages viewed, reading depth, navigation, article sharing and progress through the cover request form, including whether a request succeeds.
Google also processes technical information such as browser and device details and approximate location. We do not send names, email addresses, mobile numbers, form answers or URL query strings in our analytics events. Advertising storage, advertising personalisation and Google Signals are disabled in our integration.
Google Analytics uses cookies named _ga and _ga_52EHQBZ1P6 to distinguish browsers and maintain session information. We configure these cookies to expire after 180 days; further visits with analytics enabled can refresh that period. Browser settings may shorten their lifetime. Cookie expiry is separate from retention of information already received by Google.
Optional analytics is off until you accept it. You can decline and continue using the site, including requesting help comparing cover. Use Manage cookie preferences below to change your choice at any time. If you decline, we will ask again after five days; analytics remains off unless you accept.
Declining after accepting stops future analytics collection through our integration and removes Google Analytics cookies accessible to this site. It does not erase information already collected. You can also delete cookies and site data through your browser settings. Clearing site data may remove your saved preference, so we will ask again.
Your preference applies to the browser in which you make it. You may need to choose again on a different browser or device. Accepting analytics does not consent to marketing messages or sharing your cover request with a provider; those choices are handled separately on the form.
Changes to these terms
We may update this page as the website changes. The date above shows when this wording was last updated. Changes to this page do not automatically grant permission for optional cookies.
