Cookie notice

How cookies, local storage and similar technologies can be used across the CoverInMinutes website, quote journey, My Portal, analytics and advertising measurement.

Last reviewed: September 2026

What cookies and similar technologies are

A cookie is a small piece of information stored on a device or browser. Websites can also use related technologies such as local storage, session storage, pixels, tags and other storage/access methods. These technologies can keep a session working, remember choices, protect forms, measure use or support advertising.

Why the site may use them

Different technologies can be used for different purposes. Some are needed for the service requested by the user; others may be optional and subject to consent or another applicable legal exception.

COOKIE CATEGORIES

Not every browser technology has the same purpose.

The exact technologies present can change as site features and providers change.

Necessary

Used where needed for security, session state, navigation, form protection, login, quote progression or payment functionality requested by the user.

Preferences

Can remember a choice or interface preference so the service behaves consistently on later pages or visits.

Analytics

Can help measure visits, technical performance and use of pages or journeys. The legal basis for storage/access depends on the technology, purpose and applicable exception or consent rules.

Advertising & measurement

Advertising tags can be used to measure campaigns or support advertising activity. Where consent is required, these technologies should not be used for that purpose before valid consent is obtained.

Third-party services

Payment, analytics, embedded content and other service providers may use their own cookies or similar technologies under their own notices and controls.

Security

Some technologies can help prevent abuse, protect sessions, detect suspicious activity or maintain the integrity of forms and account areas.

Necessary technologies

Some storage or access can be essential to provide a service you ask for, such as keeping a secure session, remembering information while moving between quote pages, preventing repeated login prompts or completing secure checkout. Blocking these technologies can stop parts of the site from working.

Analytics and service improvement

Analytics can help identify pages that are slow, errors in a journey or general patterns of use. Whether consent is required depends on how the technology is configured, the purpose for which it is used and whether a specific legal exception applies. Where an exception has conditions, those conditions must be met.

Advertising and conversion measurement

The site may use advertising or conversion-measurement technology, including tags associated with advertising campaigns. Storage or access used for online advertising purposes generally requires appropriate user choice/consent. The technologies actually enabled on the site should match the choices offered through any consent mechanism.

Third-party checkout and embedded services

A third-party payment or other embedded service can set or access its own browser information when its component loads. Those technologies are governed by the provider's own role, purpose and notice as well as the choices available on this site.

Important: The cookie notice describes categories and purposes. A live cookie audit should be used to keep the specific cookie/provider list and retention periods accurate as the site changes.

YOUR CONTROLS

You can control browser storage in more than one place.

The effect of changing a setting depends on which technology is being blocked or removed.

Site choices

Use any cookie/consent controls presented by the website.

Where optional categories are offered, you can use those controls to make or change a choice.

Browser

Browsers can block or delete stored data.

Most browsers allow you to delete cookies, block categories of cookies or clear site data. Browser menus differ by device and browser version.

Quote state

Clearing storage can reset an in-progress journey.

If browser storage is holding quote/session information, deleting it may mean you need to start again from the vehicle registration step.

Blocking essential storage may break requested functions.

My Portal login, form security or secure payment components can rely on session technologies to operate correctly.

How long cookies last

Some technologies last only for the current browser session; others can remain for a defined period or until they are deleted. Duration can differ by purpose and provider. Third-party providers may set their own expiry periods.

First-party and third-party technologies

First-party technologies are set or accessed in connection with the CoverInMinutes domain. Third-party technologies can be associated with another provider, for example a payment or analytics service. The distinction does not by itself determine whether consent is required; purpose and the applicable rules matter.

Keeping the notice accurate

Cookies and tags can change when analytics, advertising, payment or site features are changed. The site should periodically review active technologies so the notice and consent controls reflect what is actually deployed.

Privacy information

Where cookies or similar technologies involve personal information, the privacy notice explains broader information about data use and rights.

Changes to this notice

This notice may be updated when technology, providers or legal requirements change. The version published on the website is the current website version.

COOKIE CHECKLIST

Blocking everything can affect the quote journey

Privacy controls should give you meaningful choice without disguising which technology is needed for a service you requested.

Clearing browser data can remove an in-progress quote or login session.

Optional advertising or tracking technologies should follow the choices and consent requirements that apply to their purpose.

Payment providers and other third parties can have their own browser technologies and notices.
