Cookie Policy
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet, or smartphone when you visit a website. Cookies help websites remember your device across page views, support responsive performance, maintain security protocols, and remember user preferences.
2. How Veritty Uses Cookies
Veritty maintains a strict privacy-first policy. We do not use intrusive cross-site tracking or third-party behavioral advertising cookies. The cookies and local storage keys we use are categorized as follows:
A. Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies
These cookies and local storage keys are essential for the operation of the Website. Without them, core functions such as responsive navigation drawers, security rate limiting, and cookie preference retention cannot function. They cannot be switched off in our systems.
| Cookie / Key Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
veritty_cookie_consent_v1 |
Local Storage | Records your consent decision (All vs. Essential Only) to dismiss the banner. | 1 Year |
veritty_session |
HTTP Session | Maintains server connection state and prevents cross-site request forgery. | Session |
B. Performance & Analytics Cookies (Optional)
When enabled with your consent, analytics cookies help us understand aggregate traffic patterns—such as which insurance guides are most viewed and average page load speeds—without personally identifying you. All IP addresses processed for analytics are anonymized.
3. Third-Party Links & Partner Cookies
When you click external links to visit an authorized insurance carrier or partner quote tool, that external carrier may place their own tracking cookies on your device in accordance with their independent privacy policies. Veritty does not control or have access to third-party cookies placed once you leave our domain.
4. Managing and Controlling Cookies
You have full control over your cookie preferences:
- On-Site Controls: You can select "Essential Only" on our cookie banner to restrict cookies exclusively to functional necessities.
- Browser Settings: Every major web browser permits you to view, manage, and block cookies. You can configure your browser to reject all cookies or notify you when a cookie is set:

- Apple Safari: Settings → Safari → Privacy & Security → Block All Cookies.
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and Site Permissions.
Please Note: If you completely disable all cookies in your browser settings, certain interactive elements of the Website (such as remembering your preference selection) may require re-selection on subsequent visits.
5. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect technological changes, new regulatory standards, or updates to our site architecture. Any changes will take effect immediately upon publication.
