Cookie Policy

Effective date: July 25, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Car Haul Direct Inc. (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on carhauldirect.com (the “Site”). It works together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal information more broadly. If you have questions, contact us at info@carhauldirect.com or 888-884-5430.

What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They let the site remember your visit, keep things working, and measure how the site is used. Some cookies are set by us (first-party cookies) and some are set by other companies whose tools appear on the Site (third-party cookies). Similar technologies, such as local storage and pixels, work in comparable ways, and this policy covers them too.

Categories of Cookies We Use

  • Strictly necessary: required for the Site to work and to remember your cookie consent choices. These are always on and do not require consent. Our consent banner is provided by CookieYes (the cookie-law-info plugin), which sets a cookie to record your preferences.
  • Functional: support features you choose to use. Our instant pricing calculator, served from widget.calc.carhauldirect.com, may use cookies or local storage to keep your session and remember the route and vehicle details you enter while you get a quote.
  • Analytics: help us understand how visitors use the Site, which pages are popular, and where visitors come from. We use Google Analytics for this. Analytics cookies are set only if you consent through the banner.
  • Third-party content: the Google reviews shown on the Site are rendered through Trustindex, which loads content from Google. These services may set their own cookies when the review widget loads.
  • Marketing: we use the Meta (Facebook) pixel, loaded through the PixelYourSite plugin, to measure the performance of our advertising and to build advertising audiences. Marketing cookies and pixels are set only if you consent through the banner.

The Consent Banner

When you first visit the Site, a consent banner asks whether you accept cookies. Strictly necessary cookies are set regardless, because the Site cannot work without them. All other categories are set only after you accept them. You can change your mind at any time: reopen the banner using the cookie settings link or icon on the Site, adjust the categories, and save. Withdrawing consent stops new cookies in that category from being set; you can remove ones already stored through your browser settings.

Browser Controls

Your browser also lets you block or delete cookies. Look in your browser’s settings under privacy or cookies. You can usually block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or clear cookies already stored. Blocking all cookies may stop parts of the Site from working, including the pricing calculator. For the analytics category specifically, Google also offers an opt-out browser add-on for Google Analytics. General guidance on managing cookies is available at aboutcookies.org.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our tools change. The current version, with its effective date, will always be posted on the Site. Material changes will also be reflected in the consent banner.
