Cookies and tracking technologies

Advertising attribution. This site stores a first-party cookie named sd_attrib for 90 days recording how you reached the site, so that a quote request can be matched to the advertisement, search, or link that brought you. It is set on your first page view however you arrive, including a direct visit, and refreshed if you later arrive from an ad. It records the referring address, the advertising parameters in the web address you arrived on, and the page you landed on. We do not put your name, email address, or phone number in it.

Analytics and advertising. This site uses Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads, loaded through Google Tag Manager, to understand how visitors find and use the site and to measure our advertising. These services use cookies and similar identifiers. You can review how Google handles this data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and opt out of Google Analytics at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Session analytics. This site uses Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors use the site, through heatmaps and replays of page interactions such as scrolling and clicking. Text you type into forms is masked and is not recorded. You can review how Microsoft handles this data at privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement.

These analytics and advertising cookies are not required to use the site. You can opt out at any time using the Google tools linked above, or by clearing this site's data or using your browser's cookie controls. Opting out does not affect your ability to use the site or contact us.
