Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information
Use this form to turn off optional referral measurement and advertising for this browser. It works without JavaScript. The confirmation page will say whether the server saved the withdrawal.
For access, correction, deletion or requests through an authorized agent, email me@autowarranty.autos. We may need to verify the request and identify the relevant records.
What works without optional tracking
The calculator does not ask for your name, email, payment details or VIN. Vehicle and location selections may appear in the page address or a research request. Quote price, deductible and mileage inputs stay in your browser; they are not included in the vehicle-research request or sent to Chaiz as a prefilled application.
Our server and hosting providers receive connection information needed to serve pages, including the requested address, browser information and connection IP. Hosting and security logs are separate from optional referral records. Ad IDs in a page address may reach hosting logs even when optional tracking is off; we do not use those logs to build advertising exports.
Aggregate traffic counts
We count public page requests and redirects to Chaiz without setting analytics cookies or creating individual event records. The counter stores only a UTC date, a fixed request category, whether referral recording was permitted or unavailable, and a total. It does not store page addresses, campaign tags, referrers, IP addresses, browser information or visitor identifiers. These totals include requests from visitors who decline optional tracking or use Global Privacy Control. They cannot identify you or match you to a purchase. Hosting connection logs are separate, as described above.
Tracking on arrival and your controls
On a public page, we compare the connection IP supplied by our hosting service with a local IP-location database. If it identifies a US state outside California and this browser has no earlier decision or opt-out, our own referral measurement and advertising click-ID capture begin without waiting for OK. An eligible record can also support separately reviewed Meta purchase reporting, as described below. This default is a notice-and-opt-out policy decision, not a record of affirmative consent. Meta and Google browser advertising tags remain paused.
Use Opt out in the bottom notice to switch both purposes off and stay on the site. Leave saves the same refusal and then exits to a blank page. OK explicitly permits both purposes, including the separate verified-purchase sharing described below. Open Privacy choices in the footer to change the purposes independently. A saved refusal or Global Privacy Control takes priority over location. We do not replace an earlier refusal merely because it expires or your location changes.
We measure only visitors whose current location check identifies a US state outside California. California, non-US and unverified locations remain untracked even with a saved permission; the saved preference itself is not erased. The location check is approximate; it does not prove residency or age. You can opt out regardless of where the check places you. We store only the coarse country and state and database version with the notice receipt, not the raw IP, city or coordinates for this check. We recheck location for each referral request and refresh the browser check every five minutes. An outdated database disables optional measurement until location can be verified again. The lookup uses a modified local copy of DB-IP IP to City Lite, September 2026, under CC BY 4.0; visitor IPs are not sent to DB-IP.
Two choices, not one blanket permission
Referral measurement lets us remember landing pages, referral sources and campaign tags for our own reports. When you follow a Chaiz link, we can record the time, click page, button position, destination, session ID, browser and device, and first and last attributed visits. If IP hashing is configured, we store a keyed IP hash, not your raw IP, in this referral record. That hash can link records and is not anonymous.
Advertising measurement and sharing lets us save advertising click IDs, such as Google's GCLID, GBRAID and WBRAID, Meta's FBCLID and Microsoft's MSCLKID, when present. It also permits the eligible purchase reporting described below. This option alone does not enable campaign-tag, external-referrer or IP-hash storage in our own referral reports. It does not restart the paused browser advertising tags. We do not currently export Microsoft IDs.
Allowing either option lets us issue a random Chaiz referral ID, called caclid, and save the click and its privacy-choice reference. The ID contains no name or email, but can link a click to a purchase. These records are pseudonymous, not anonymous. Advertising-only records still include the page path, click time, button, browser, device and session needed for that referral.
If neither option is allowed, we do not create a referral record, set an optional attribution or session cookie, or add a unique referral ID to the Chaiz link. The link still contains fixed affiliate campaign tags that identify AutoWarranty.Autos as the publisher, not you. Chaiz receives its own connection information when you visit it.
Advertising activity and purchase-data sharing
As of October 18, 2026, the Meta Pixel and Google advertising tags managed through Google Tag Manager are paused on this site. Their browser scripts and no-JavaScript fallback do not load, even when advertising permission is saved. We paused them because we have not verified their collection of page addresses and referrers, including query strings. The paused tags do not send page views, calculator completions or Chaiz link-click events. This pause does not erase data shared earlier or stop the separately reviewed purchase reports described below.
We may report a verified Chaiz purchase to Meta (Facebook and Instagram) when the original referral has a current advertising choice or an eligible US notice-and-opt-out record under the September 15, 2026 notice. The click must have a verified US location outside California. Sharing a purchase with Google requires a current explicit advertising choice linked to the original referral. These reports help match purchases to ads, measure results and personalize advertising.
A Google conversion file can contain the original Google click identifier, actual purchase time, currency, a non-personal event/order identifier and the reported sale value or our reported affiliate commission, depending on the conversion action. A Meta purchase report can contain a matching value derived from the original Facebook click ID and its recorded arrival time, the referral browser's user agent, actual purchase time, currency, actual customer sale value, a stable event ID and the verified Chaiz purchase-page address.
These purchase reports do not include your name, email, phone number, VIN, payment details, raw IP address or our IP hash. We do not substitute our commission for the customer's purchase price in a Meta Purchase event. Meta and Google process received data under their own policies: Meta privacy policy and Google privacy policy.
What is connected now: browser advertising scripts are disabled, including Google's cookieless measurement. Google Analytics is not installed. Eligible, reviewed purchases can be sent directly to Meta after we verify the sale and Chaiz's reporting authority and recheck the original referral's advertising eligibility. Google purchase reporting is not connected automatically; an authorized admin can prepare a private conversion file for separate submission. Google purchase files require affirmative visitor permission. An admin checkbox cannot replace the required visitor record for either platform.
Clicks collected before these controls, under an older notice-based default, or without the matching privacy record cannot enter advertising purchase reports. Turning advertising on later does not make an earlier ineligible or withdrawn click eligible. Browsers with an older notice-based record remain untracked until a new choice is saved.
Change your mind or use Global Privacy Control
Open Privacy choices / Do not sell or share in any page's footer to reject optional tracking or change either option. Rejecting is as easy as allowing both. The calculator does not change based on that choice.
When this browser sends Global Privacy Control (GPC), we honor it by switching both optional purposes off and displaying that the opt-out was honored. We use this broader shutdown as a privacy safeguard, not as a claim that all referral measurement legally counts as selling data. Removing the signal does not turn tracking back on.
A saved withdrawal stops new optional tracking, revokes Meta and Google browser consent and prevents earlier clicks linked to that choice from entering new advertising purchase reports. A later opt-in starts a new choice record. It does not restore the withdrawn one. If saving fails, we block optional tracking locally and ask you to retry so the server can confirm the change too.
Choices apply to this browser's privacy cookie, not automatically to other browsers or devices. Deleting that cookie means we can no longer connect a new choice to older records. Contact us to review earlier data or a request across devices. Without JavaScript, the opt-out form at the top of this page can withdraw both optional purposes. Granting or changing individual permissions uses the interactive controls.
A file already downloaded by an admin cannot be remotely erased by these controls. We require a fresh eligibility check before submission. Withdrawal also cannot recall data already sent to a platform. Contact us about deletion or other privacy requests involving earlier sharing.
Cookies and how long they last
aw_privacy is an essential, random browser token used to retrieve your privacy choice or notice receipt. The database stores a hash of that token with the choice or policy decision, notice version and timestamp, not your IP address as proof of consent. A notice-based receipt has separate provenance and no affirmative-consent timestamp. The cookie lasts up to 400 days after creation or a saved choice. Explicit permission expires after 180 days; the automatic US decision expires after 30 days and remains subject to current location checks. A rejection is remembered for up to 400 days. A browser may shorten these periods.
aw_privacy_stop is an essential local stop marker used while a change is saved, after rejection, when GPC is detected or when settings cannot be confirmed. It can last up to 400 days. An essential local-storage timestamp tells other tabs to refresh their privacy settings.
After an allowed choice or eligible US notice-based decision, aw_attribution can store the allowed first and last attribution details for up to 90 days from the first captured visit in that cookie, never beyond the current decision's expiry. Page changes and returning to a tab do not extend that deadline. aw_session lasts 30 minutes from its last refresh. Changing your choice clears these optional cookies. These cookie lifetimes are not server-record deletion deadlines.
Earlier Meta browser tracking may have set _fbp and _fbc cookies. Earlier Google tags may have stored cookies beginning _gcl_ and the local-storage entry _gcl_ls. While these tags are paused, our browser controls clear those entries. The no-JavaScript opt-out also expires the known first-party ad cookies and any _gcl_ cookie sent with the request; clearing local storage requires JavaScript. We do not decorate outgoing Chaiz links with Google's cross-domain linker.
What comes back from Chaiz
Chaiz can send a server-to-server conversion report, called a postback, for a recorded referral. We use it for commission reconciliation and to check whether a sale is eligible for advertising reporting. We retain the referral ID, order reference, sale value, commission, currency, product, status and receipt times, plus a test marker when detected. New callbacks do not retain arbitrary extra metadata or credential fields. A callback cannot grant or restore privacy permission.
A late callback may still update the transaction record after withdrawal, but it does not restore advertising eligibility. A postback is not proof that a sale is approved or that a warranty claim will be paid.
Storage, access and deletion requests
Referral, transaction, privacy-choice and export-history records remain in the site's configured database, accessible to authorized operators and the hosting services that support it. We restrict advertising use separately from keeping transaction records. Older records may include additional callback metadata collected under the earlier implementation; those records are not made advertising-eligible by this notice.
The current application does not automatically delete server records when a cookie or permission expires. We review retention according to commission reconciliation, dispute handling, proof of privacy choices, security and applicable obligations. We have not yet set an automatic deletion schedule. We will update this notice if that changes.
Contact AutoWarranty.Autos at me@autowarranty.autos to request access, correction, deletion or a review of earlier sharing. Include an approximate date and relevant page if you can. Do not send passwords, payment details or a full VIN. We may need to verify the request and identify records before acting; some records may need to be retained for transactions or applicable obligations.
After you leave this site
Information you enter on Chaiz is governed by Chaiz's privacy policy and the relevant provider's terms. Our choices do not control Chaiz's own collection or sharing. FixCatalogue and other sources are independent sites too.
