Privacy

Car Compare is a free static website made by Krool. It has no accounts, no sign-in, no forms that send data to us, and no server of our own. This page lists what the site does with data.

Saved in your browser

The site keeps your settings in your browser's local storage so they are still there on your next visit. They stay on your device and are not sent to us:

• favorite cars and the compare list
• filters, visible columns and the mirror buffer setting
• the baseline car
• garage dimensions entered in the Garage Fit tool
• a flag that the setup wizard has been shown

Clearing this site's data in your browser removes all of it.

Google Analytics

Every page loads Google Analytics (GA4) to count visits. It runs without a consent prompt. It sets cookies in your browser (named _ga and similar) and Google receives standard session data: the page address, referrer, device and browser type, and an approximate location derived from your IP address. The site sends no custom events.

The page address includes the part after the question mark, which encodes the current view so it can be shared: filters, sort order, baseline, compare list, visible columns and any text in the search box. Analytics can therefore receive those values.

A browser extension or setting that blocks analytics does not affect how the site works. Google's description of how it uses this data: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Car images

Car pictures are loaded by your browser directly from IMAGIN.studio servers (cdn-01 to cdn-09.imagin.studio). Each request names the make, model, model year and powertrain of the car shown, and like any web request it reveals your IP address and browser type to IMAGIN.studio. Their policy: imagin.studio/privacy-policy.

Hosting

The site is served by GitHub Pages. GitHub receives your IP address and request details as part of serving the pages. Fonts are served from the same host, not from Google Fonts.

Outbound links

The car detail view links to listing and search sites (Cars.com, Autotrader, CarGurus, Edmunds, KBB, TrueCar, CarMax, Google). Nothing is sent to them unless you click a link.

What the site does not do

• No accounts, names, email addresses or payment details are collected.
• No ads are shown.
• CSV export and the share link are created in your browser.

Changes

If this page changes, the date at the top changes with it.
