What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your preferences, understand how you use the site, and serve relevant content. Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your device.

Cookies We Use

Analytics Cookies

Third-party

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the site — pages visited, time spent, and traffic sources. This helps us improve the content and tools we provide.

Google Analytics sets cookies such as _ga, _gid, and _gat. Data is processed by Google. See Google's Privacy Policy.

Session Replay & Heatmap Cookies

Third-party

We use Microsoft Clarity to see aggregated heatmaps and session replays, which show us where visitors get stuck so we can fix it. Clarity does not capture what you type into form fields.

Clarity sets cookies such as _clck and _clsk. Data is processed by Microsoft. See the Microsoft Privacy Statement.

Advertising Cookies

Third-party

We use Google AdSense to display ads on the Site. Advertising on this Site is what keeps the county data free to use. AdSense sets cookies to measure ad performance and, where you have permitted it, to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

You can opt out of personalized advertising at any time via Google's Ad Settings or the NAI Opt-Out Tool.

Functional Cookies

First-party

We may use session cookies to support interactive features such as the tax calculator and county comparison tool. These cookies are temporary and deleted when you close your browser. No personal data is stored.

Consent Cookies

Necessary

When you make a privacy choice — accepting or declining cookies, or opting out of the sale or sharing of your information — that decision is stored on your device so we do not have to ask you again on every page. These are strictly necessary and cannot be disabled, since without them your choice could not be honored.

How to Control Cookies

You can control and delete cookies in your browser settings:

Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
Firefox: Preferences → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
Edge: Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Cookies

Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some features on this Site.

Changing a choice you already made. If you previously accepted or declined cookies and want to change that, clear this Site's data in your browser settings and reload the page — the consent message will appear again.

Your Rights

EEA, UK, and Switzerland. You are shown a consent message from Google's certified Consent Management Platform before analytics or advertising cookies are set, and you can decline without losing access to anything on the Site. You also have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal data held about you.

US states. If you live in a state with a comprehensive privacy law, you can opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for targeted advertising, and we honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signal where required. See our Privacy Policy for the full list of states and rights.

This Site does not collect personal data directly beyond voluntary contact form submissions, so most data requests concern the third-party services described above. You can reach us any time using the details below.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when we add new services or when regulations change. Updates will be reflected on this page with a revised date.
