Cookies and browser storage
TrustCedar keeps one small note in your browser and uses no analytics or advertising cookies. This page lists everything the site stores or runs, and how to remove it.
Last updated
The short answer
- No analytics cookies, no advertising cookies, no ad pixels, no social media trackers.
- One item in your browser’s local storage, which remembers that you closed the cookie notice.
- A Cloudflare security check on pages that have a form.
What the site stores in your browser
| Item | Type | What it holds | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
trustcedar-cookie-notice |
Local storage, set by trustcedar.com | The value “1” once you close the cookie notice, so it does not appear on every page | Until you clear site data in your browser |
The note contains nothing about you. It is never sent to our server; it stays in your browser. If your browser blocks storage, the notice simply appears again on your next visit.
The spam check on form pages
Pages with a form (the loan request, contact and rate notes forms) load Cloudflare Turnstile, a check that tells people from bots. It runs from Cloudflare and may process signals from your device and browser to decide whether the form is being sent by a person. Cloudflare’s own privacy policy describes how it handles that data. Pages without a form do not load it.
What the site does not use
We do not use Google Analytics or any other analytics service, advertising networks, retargeting pixels, “like” or “share” plugins, session recording, or third-party tracking scripts. The calculators keep nothing: what you type stays on the page and is gone when you leave it.
Links from our emails
If you arrive from a link in an email sent by TrustCedar or a partner, the address can end with a code after a “#” (#cid=…). A small script reads the code, removes it from the address bar at once and sends one visit report with it to our own domain, which passes it to the email platform. Some email links instead go through a short address on trustcedar.com that records the click before opening the page. Neither stores anything in your browser or sets a cookie, and a page opened without such a link sends nothing. The privacy policy describes exactly what is sent.
How to clear or block storage
- Remove the note. In your browser’s settings, clear cookies and site data for trustcedar.com. In most browsers this is under Privacy or Site settings.
- Block storage. You can block site data for trustcedar.com. The site works the same; the cookie notice will just show again.
- Private windows. A private or incognito window discards the note when you close it.
