Cookie Policy

How QuoteFinder.ca uses cookies and similar tracking technologies

1. Scope of this Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how QuoteFinder.ca (“QuoteFinder.ca”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our websites, quote request forms, provider dashboards, team account tools, and related platform features (collectively, the “Platform”).

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and disclose personal information more broadly.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (such as a computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. Cookies help websites remember information about your visit, such as your preferences, session status, and certain usage details.

Cookies can be:

• Session cookies (which usually expire when you close your browser); or
• Persistent cookies (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).

3. Similar technologies we may use

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies for related purposes, including:

• local storage or session storage;
• pixels or tags (for analytics, communications, or conversion measurement);
• SDKs or device identifiers in supported app-like environments (if applicable);
• server-side logging and event tracking tied to browser/device identifiers.

For simplicity, this page refers to these collectively as “cookies” unless a distinction is needed.

4. Why we use cookies

We use cookies to support platform operation and user experience, including to:

• keep the website and platform features functioning properly;
• maintain secure logins, sessions, and authenticated access;
• remember user settings and preferences;
• measure site performance and diagnose technical issues;
• detect fraud, spam, abuse, and suspicious activity;
• understand usage patterns and improve page design and workflows;
• support communications, marketing, or ad measurement (where enabled and permitted).

5. Types of cookies we use

5.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required to operate the Platform and cannot be switched off in systems where the feature depends on them. They are typically used for:

• session management and login/authentication;
• security and fraud prevention controls;
• load balancing and system reliability;
• form submission integrity and request routing;
• remembering essential privacy or consent settings.

5.2 Functional / preference cookies

These cookies help us remember choices you make and improve your experience, such as:

• language or region preferences;
• interface settings;
• dashboard or display preferences;
• certain convenience features on repeat visits.

5.3 Analytics / performance cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors and users interact with the Platform so we can improve performance, usability, and content. They may be used to measure:

• page views and user flows;
• feature usage and engagement;
• error rates and technical issues;
• site speed and performance metrics;
• traffic sources and referral patterns.

Analytics data may be aggregated or de-identified where practical, but it can still involve identifiers depending on the tool and configuration.

5.4 Marketing / advertising cookies (if enabled)

Where marketing or advertising features are used, cookies may be used to:

• measure campaign performance and conversions;
• limit repetitive ad delivery;
• understand whether a user visited the Platform after interacting with a campaign;
• support audience measurement or remarketing features (subject to consent and applicable law).

If marketing cookies are used, they may be set by us or by third-party partners acting on our behalf, depending on site configuration.

6. First-party and third-party cookies

Cookies used on QuoteFinder.ca may be:

• First-party cookies, which are set by QuoteFinder.ca; or
• Third-party cookies, which are set by service providers or partners whose tools/features are integrated into the Platform.

Third-party cookies may be associated with services such as hosting, analytics, security, payment processing, communication delivery, embedded content, or advertising/measurement tools (where enabled).

Third-party providers control their own cookie technologies and may process information according to their own privacy policies.

7. Cookies in provider dashboards and team accounts

If you are a provider, brokerage, or team account user, we may use cookies and similar technologies to support account security, role-based access, billing flows, session continuity, and dashboard performance.

For example, cookies may be used to:

• maintain secure sign-in sessions;
• remember dashboard preferences or filters;
• help detect suspicious account access attempts;
• support team/admin workflow features.

8. How you can manage cookies

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• view what cookies are stored;
• block some or all cookies;
• delete existing cookies;
• set preferences for specific websites;
• clear site data on exit.

You may also be able to manage certain cookie categories through our site cookie banner or preferences tool, if available on the page you visit.

9. Consent and cookie choices

Where required by law, we will request consent before using non-essential cookies (such as certain analytics or marketing cookies). In other cases, cookies may be used on the basis that they are necessary for requested functionality, security, fraud prevention, or other purposes permitted by law.

You can change your cookie preferences at any time using available site controls (if implemented) or your browser settings. Changes may apply going forward and may not remove data already collected before the change, unless required by law.

10. Do Not Track and browser signals

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting or similar privacy signals. Because there is no universally accepted standard for interpreting all such signals across services and jurisdictions, QuoteFinder.ca may not respond to every DNT signal in a uniform way.

Where legally required, we will apply privacy choices and consent settings using the mechanisms supported on our Platform.

11. Data linked to cookies

Information collected through cookies and similar technologies may include:

• device/browser identifiers and technical details;
• IP address (or approximate location derived from IP);
• session identifiers and login status;
• usage events (pages viewed, clicks, timestamps, navigation flows);
• diagnostic, performance, and error information.

Depending on the context, this information may be combined with other information described in our Privacy Policy (for example, account or quote workflow data) to operate and secure the Platform.

12. Retention of cookie-related data

Cookie lifespans vary depending on the type and purpose of the cookie. Some cookies expire when you close your browser (session cookies), while others remain for a longer period (persistent cookies) unless deleted earlier.

Related logs and analytics records may be retained for operational, security, fraud prevention, support, and performance improvement purposes, subject to our Privacy Policy and applicable law.

13. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our Platform, technology, vendors, legal requirements, or cookie practices.

When we update this page, we will post the revised version and update the “Last updated” date below.
