Cookie Policy

Last updated: August 14, 2026

Current public-site use

Calculator inputs are processed in the browser and are not intentionally saved in cookies, local storage, or session storage. CheckCarCost may use analytics and advertising technologies, including services provided by Google, where enabled and subject to applicable consent requirements.

Strictly necessary cookies

The website may set authentication, security, or preference cookies for signed-in site administrators. These cookies are necessary for website administration and security and are not used for behavioural advertising.

The cookie preference tool stores smc_consent for up to 180 days. Its sole purpose is to remember whether you accepted all optional categories or rejected non-essential technologies, so the site does not ask on every visit. It is treated as a necessary preference cookie and is not used to track browsing behaviour.

Dealer interest form

The dealer interest form sends the information you enter to this site's database when you submit it. The form does not require an advertising or analytics cookie. Information about this submission is provided in our Privacy Policy.

Analytics and advertising

CheckCarCost may use non-essential analytics, advertising, social tracking, or similar technologies, including services provided by Google. Where consent is required, these technologies will remain disabled until the visitor has made an informed choice. The footer's “Cookie settings” control allows visitors to review or change their choices.

How to control cookies

You can review, block, or delete cookies using your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent administrator sign-in or other requested features from working correctly.

Changes to this policy

This policy must be reviewed whenever hosting, analytics, advertising, embedded media, consent tools, or other site technology changes.
