This Cookie Policy explains how Instant Car Insure LLC ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit instantcarinsure.com. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better browsing experience, and supply information to the owners of the site.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
1. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as page navigation and access to secure areas. The website cannot function properly without these cookies. Because we do not require user logins, our use of necessary cookies is extremely limited (e.g., remembering your estimation inputs temporarily so the tool functions correctly).
2. Analytics Cookies (Performance)
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This helps us optimize the layout, speed, and content of our site. These cookies collect information in an aggregated form (e.g., how many users visited a specific page, which states generate the most traffic).
- Cookie: _ga, _ga_* (Google Analytics)
- Duration: 2 years
- Purpose: Distinguishes unique visitors to generate statistical data.
3. Advertising Cookies (Targeting)
Because Instant Car Insure is a free service, we display third-party advertisements, primarily through Google AdSense. Advertising networks use cookies to serve personalized ads based on your browsing history. For example, if you look at car insurance on another site, you may see an ad for that company on our site.
- Cookie: __gads, __gpi (Google AdSense)
- Duration: Up to 13 months
- Purpose: Tracks user interaction with ads to ensure relevant ad delivery and prevent repetitive ad serving.
Third-Party Cookies
In addition to our own cookies, we may use cookies from third-party partners (like Google) for analytics and advertising purposes listed above. We do not control the setting of these third-party cookies, and we recommend that you consult the privacy policies of these third parties for more information.
Your Choices Regarding Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences in the following ways:
- Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to refuse all cookies, to accept only first-party cookies, or to delete cookies when you close your browser.
- Opt-Out of Google Analytics: You can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Opt-Out of Personalized Ads: You can visit Google Ads Settings to opt out of personalized advertising, or visit the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page.
Please note: If you disable certain cookies, it may affect the functionality of our website, though our core estimation tool is designed to work even with strict cookie blocking enabled.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our data collection practices. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
