Cookie Policy

Effective date: July 20, 2026. This Cookie Policy explains how CoverageCompass uses cookies and similar technologies on our website and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy because cookies can relate to how information is collected and used across the site.

A cookie is a small piece of data stored by your browser that can be read later—often to remember preferences or recognize a browser over time. When you revisit a site, it can read cookies it previously set to help remember you or keep track of activity across visits.

Cookies are commonly set and sent using standard web headers. A site can store a cookie and later receive it back on future requests to that same domain. This is one reason cookies are widely used for features like sign-in and session continuity.

We also use or may use similar technologies, including pixels (web beacons), SDK-style tags, and browser storage. These tools can help measure page performance, prevent fraud, or remember your settings. They can operate even when they are not called cookies, but they often support similar functions for user experience and site reliability.

Browser storage can include Web Storage, such as localStorage and sessionStorage, which stores key/value pairs in your browser. These mechanisms can be used as an alternative to cookies for certain purposes and can store data for a session or longer, depending on how they are configured and used.

Cookies can be session (generally lasting until your browser is closed) or persistent (remaining until they expire or are deleted). Cookie duration is controlled by settings and attributes when a cookie is created. Persistent cookies can remain across browser restarts, depending on their specific configuration and expiration parameters.

Cookies can be first-party, set by CoverageCompass, or third-party, set by another company's domain when content or tools are embedded on a page. Third-party technologies are often associated with analytics or advertising ecosystems, though not every third-party tool is advertising-related or used for targeting purposes.

In most cases, cookies and similar identifiers are designed to store IDs, settings, or device and browser signals—not the full text you type into forms. However, the combination of identifiers and browsing activity can still be used to infer interests or link visits over time, depending on the context and how the data is processed.

If we provide a cookie preference tool, such as a banner or settings panel, you can use it to accept, reject, or fine-tune optional cookies. Where available, that tool applies choices per browser and device—so changing devices or clearing site data may require you to set preferences again to maintain your selections.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or allowing cookies and clearing stored data. Many browsers let you manage site data by site, which can be helpful if you want the website to work normally but limit tracking on other sites you visit.

For example, Google Chrome provides controls to delete and manage cookies and to change third-party cookie settings. If you block cookies broadly, parts of the site may not function as intended, like keeping you signed in or remembering your selections and preferences across sessions.

If you clear cookies, you may remove preference cookies and also remove opt-out cookies set by industry opt-out tools. That means you might need to repeat opt-out steps after clearing cookies or resetting your browser to maintain your advertising and tracking preferences.

Some advertising-related choices can be made using industry tools. The Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) describes consumer tools such as WebChoices (web), AppChoices (apps), and token-based tools that help people request choices about interest-based advertising data collection from participating companies.

The Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) also provides an opt-out tool intended to help users opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies. Even after opting out, you may still see ads, but they may be less personalized based on your browsing behavior and inferred interests.

You may also use a browser-level signal called Global Privacy Control (GPC), a proposed specification that lets users communicate certain privacy preferences, such as opting out of certain selling or sharing or targeted advertising uses, to websites. Whether and how the signal is applied can depend on applicable law and site configuration.

Remember that cookie controls are usually browser- and device-specific. If you use multiple browsers, such as Chrome and Safari, or switch between a phone and a laptop, you may need to repeat your choices on each environment to get consistent results across all your devices.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or how our site works. When we make changes, we will revise the Effective date at the top of this page so you can see when the policy was last updated and review any modifications.

Some pages may include content or tools provided by third parties, such as embedded media, measurement tags, fraud-prevention tools, or advertising and attribution services. Those third parties may set or read their own cookies or identifiers under their own policies, which we do not control and for which you should review their respective privacy notices.

Cookie lifetimes vary. Session cookies generally expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies may remain until a set expiration time or until you delete them. The specific lifetime depends on how the cookie is configured when it is created by the server or website.

We take reasonable measures to help protect cookies used for authenticated sessions and other sensitive functions, including using standard cookie attributes where appropriate. No method is perfect, but secure session handling is a core part of protecting website accounts and preventing unauthorized access to user data.

If you choose to block certain cookies or storage, some site features may be limited. For example, the site may not remember preferences, may require repeated prompts, or may not preserve steps in a comparison flow or multi-step form process you are completing.

If you have questions about interest-based advertising and how it generally works across websites, industry explanations describe how companies may assign an ID, often via cookies or identifiers, and use browsing activity to infer broad interest categories for advertising and content personalization purposes.

If you want to contact us about cookies or your choices on CoverageCompass, please use the Contact page on our website and include the browser and device you used and the date and time you experienced the issue. This helps us troubleshoot cookie preference and storage behavior more accurately.

If any part of this Cookie Policy conflicts with another posted policy on the site for a specific feature, such as a feature-specific notice, the more specific notice should control for that feature. This Cookie Policy is intended to provide a clear baseline explanation for our general website use.
