This may include things like buttons you click, mouse movements, other behavior on the Website, date and time of access, pages visited, web beacons, and cookie or pixel tag information. Please see our Automatic Information Collection section below to learn more about cookies, pixels tags, and analytic technologies.
Automatic Information Collection
In addition to the information that you provide to us, we may also collect information about you during your visit to our Website. We collect this information using automated tools and website analytics tools, including but not limited to beacons, tags, Javascript and cookies, as detailed below. These tools may collect information about your behavior and your computer system, such as your internet address (IP Address), your geolocation, the pages you have viewed, and the actions you have taken while using the Website. Trusted third parties that we contract with or have a relationship with may help us gather and collect information as well.
As noted, some of the tools we use to automatically collect information about you may include:
- Cookies. A “cookie” is a small data file transmitted from a website to your computer’s hard drive. Cookies are usually defined in one of two ways, and we may use both of them:
- session cookies, which do not stay on your computer after you close your browser, and
- persistent cookies, which remain on your computer until you delete them or they expire.
We use the following categories of cookies on our Website.
- Strictly Necessary Cookies. These cookies are essential in order to enable you to move around the Website and use its features. Without these cookies, services you have requested, such as maintaining a record of your purchased items (e.g. a shopping cart), cannot be provided.
- Performance Cookies. These cookies collect anonymous information on how people use our Website to help us understand how you arrive at our site, browse or use our Website and highlight areas where we can improve, such as navigation. The data stored by these cookies never shows personal details from which your individual identity can be established.
Of course, if you do not wish to have cookies on your devices, you may turn them off at any time by modifying your internet browser’s settings. However, by disabling cookies on your device, you may be prohibited from full use of the Website’s features or lose access to some functionality.

- Web Beacons. A Web Beacon is an electronic image. Web Beacons can track certain things from your computer and can report activity back to a web server allowing us or our trusted third parties to understand some of your behavior while using the Websites. If you choose to receive emails from us, we may use Web Beacons to track your reaction to our emails, such as whether you opened them or not. Examples of such emails might be welcome messages or billing alerts. We may also use web beacons to record if you click on the links and at what time and date you do so. Some of our third party marketing partners may use Web Beacons to track your interaction with online advertising banners on our websites. This information is only collected in aggregate form and will not be linked to your Personal Information.
- Embedded Web Links. Links provided in our emails may include tracking technology embedded in the link. Some of these links will enable us, or our trusted third party service provider, to identify that you have clicked on the link in the email and, in some cases, this click information may be attached to the Personal Information that we hold about you. This data is used to improve our service to you and to help us understand the performance of our marketing campaigns.
- Chatbots, RPAs and AI. We may use a chatbot, robotic process automation or artificial intelligence to collect, retrieve and/or deliver information to you. Services provided by these methods are computer generated and not moderated or checked. Please remember to verify all relevant information.

Any transactional or service-oriented messages are usually excluded from such preferences, as such messages are required to respond to your requests or to provide goods and services, and are not intended for the purposes of marketing.

Third Party Websites
This Policy does not apply to websites or other domains that are maintained or operated by third parties or our affiliates. Our Websites may link to third party websites (“Linked Sites”) and services, but these links are not endorsements of these sites, and this Policy does not extend to them. For example, you may be able to access the services of a local windshield replacement company from a Linked Site on our auto policy page.
