What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website saves in your browser so it can remember something between pages or visits. Similar technologies, such as local storage, work in much the same way and are covered by this policy.
Some cookies are strictly necessary for a website to work. Others, such as analytics cookies, can only be used in the UK if you agree to them first.
Cookies this website uses
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics | Analytics, only with your consent. Tells one visit from another so we can count readers. | Up to 2 years |
_ga_ followed by an ID | Google Analytics | Analytics, only with your consent. Keeps track of the current visit. | Up to 2 years |
| Cookie notice choice | mybusinesscomparison.com | Strictly necessary. Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics cookies. | Up to 1 year |
wordpress_logged_in, wordpress_sec | mybusinesscomparison.com | Strictly necessary. Keep site managers signed in securely. Not set for readers. | Until sign out, up to 2 weeks |
wp-settings | mybusinesscomparison.com | Strictly necessary. Remember editing screen layout for site managers. | Up to 1 year |
The pages themselves, including the menus, the contents bar and the quote pop-up, do not save anything else in your browser.
Outside services that help pages load
Google Fonts supplies the typefaces and receives your IP address when your browser fetches them, but sets no cookies here. Google Tag Manager loads Google Analytics, and only does so after you accept analytics cookies.
If we ever add another service that sets cookies which are not strictly necessary, we will ask for your agreement first and update this page before it goes live.
Cookies on our partner's website and other sites
When you choose a quote button you leave this website for MyMoneyComparison.com. It uses its own cookies, for example to run its quote form and to record that you arrived from us so that it can pay a commission. Those cookies are covered by its own cookie and privacy policies.
The same applies to other websites we link to, such as insurers, official bodies and our sister site Insure Fleet (opens in a new tab).
How to change your choice or control cookies
You can change your cookie choice at any time from the cookie settings link at the foot of each page. You can also see, block and delete cookies in your browser settings, usually under privacy or site data. Every page can still be read with all cookies blocked.
- Google Chrome (opens in a new tab)
- Microsoft Edge (opens in a new tab)
- Mozilla Firefox (opens in a new tab)

Google also offers a browser add-on to opt out of Google Analytics (opens in a new tab) on every website.
Changes and contact
We will update this page if the cookies on the website change, and the date at the top shows when it last changed. The privacy policy explains how we handle personal information. Questions about cookies can go to info@mybusinesscomparison.com.
FAQs
Cookie questions
Quick answers about cookies on this website.
Does mybusinesscomparison.com use tracking cookies?
Only Google Analytics, and only if you accept it in the cookie notice. We do not use advertising, profiling or social media tracking cookies.
What happens if I decline cookies?
Google Analytics does not run and no analytics cookies are set. A single strictly necessary cookie remembers your choice so the notice does not keep appearing.
Do I need cookies to get a quote?
Not on this website. The quote form is on MyMoneyComparison.com, which uses its own cookies to run the form, as explained in its cookie policy.
Can I block cookies and still use the site?
Yes. Every guide on mybusinesscomparison.com can be read with cookies blocked in your browser.
How do I change my cookie choice later?
Use the cookie settings link at the foot of any page, or clear cookies for this website in your browser and the notice will ask again.
