WordPress Cookies

The Website is built using WordPress, which may place certain cookies when visitors or authorized users interact with Website features.

Comment Cookies

If comments are enabled, visitors may choose to save their name, email address, and website in cookies.

These cookies are provided for convenience so visitors do not have to enter the same information again when submitting another comment.

These cookies may remain on the visitor’s device for approximately one year.

Login Cookies

When an authorized user visits the Website’s login page, WordPress may place a temporary cookie to determine whether the browser accepts cookies.

This cookie does not contain personal information and is generally removed when the browser is closed.

When an authorized user signs in, WordPress may place cookies to remember login information and screen-display preferences.

Login cookies generally remain active for approximately two days. Screen preference cookies may remain active for approximately one year.

If the user selects “Remember Me,” the login may remain active for approximately two weeks.

Logging out removes the applicable login cookies.

Editorial Cookies

When an authorized editor publishes or edits an article, WordPress may store an additional cookie identifying the edited article.

This cookie does not contain personal information and generally expires after approximately one day.

Most WordPress login and editorial cookies apply only to Website administrators, editors, contributors, or other authorized users.

Embedded Content From Other Websites

Articles on Contractor Coverage Guide may include embedded content from third-party websites.

Embedded content may include:

Videos
Images
Maps
Social media posts
Calculators
Articles
Charts
Forms
Other interactive content

Embedded content generally behaves in the same way as it would if the visitor had visited the third-party website directly.

Third-party websites providing embedded content may:

Collect information about you
Use cookies or similar technologies
Include additional third-party tracking
Monitor your interaction with embedded content
Associate your interaction with an existing third-party account
Process information according to their own privacy policies

Contractor Coverage Guide does not control the cookies, tracking technologies, or privacy practices used by providers of embedded content.

Where required by applicable law, embedded content that uses nonessential tracking technologies may remain blocked until the visitor provides consent.

Registered Users and Website Accounts

Contractor Coverage Guide does not currently offer public account registration as a standard Website feature.

However, administrators, editors, contributors, contractors, or other authorized individuals may have accounts necessary to operate and maintain the Website.

For registered users, if any, WordPress may store the personal information provided in the user’s profile.

Authorized users may generally view, edit, or delete certain profile information, although usernames may not be changeable.

Website administrators may also view or edit this information when necessary to operate, maintain, or secure the Website.

Password Resets

If an authorized user requests a password reset, the requesting IP address or other technical information may be included in or associated with the password-reset process for security purposes.

Sale, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising

We do not sell information submitted through our contact forms or comments directly in exchange for money.

However, the use of advertising cookies, identifiers, or similar technologies may be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or use of personal information for targeted advertising under certain U.S. state privacy laws.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to opt out of certain advertising, targeted advertising, sale, or data-sharing activities.

Available privacy choices may be presented through:

Our cookie consent banner
A Cookie Settings link
A Privacy Choices link
Browser privacy controls
Another consent management tool

Opting out of personalized or targeted advertising does not necessarily mean that advertisements will no longer be displayed. It generally means that the advertisements you see may be less personalized or selected primarily according to page content.

How Long We Retain Information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

Contact Form Submissions

Contact form submissions may be retained while we respond to an inquiry, maintain appropriate records, prevent abuse, resolve disputes, or comply with legal obligations.

Comments

If comments are enabled, comments and their associated metadata may be retained indefinitely.

This allows us to recognize follow-up comments, maintain discussion records, detect spam, and enforce Website policies.

Registered Users

For registered users, if any, profile information may be stored for as long as the account remains active or as necessary for Website administration, security, recordkeeping, or legal compliance.

Analytics and Advertising Information

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to help protect information from unauthorized access, alteration, misuse, loss, or disclosure.

However, no website, internet transmission method, server, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Information submitted to the Website is provided at your own risk.

International Data Processing

The Website and its service providers may process or store information in countries other than the country where you live.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, availability, accuracy, products, services, or content of third-party websites.

Children’s Privacy

Contractor Coverage Guide is intended for contractors, business owners, and adults researching commercial insurance topics.

The Website is not directed toward children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe that a child has submitted personal information through the Website, please contact us so that we can review and delete the information where appropriate.

Browser Privacy Signals

Some browsers offer Do Not Track signals, Global Privacy Control signals, or other privacy preference mechanisms.

Because there is not one uniform standard governing every browser privacy signal, the Website may not respond to every signal.

Where required by applicable law and supported by our consent management tools, we may recognize legally valid opt-out preference signals.
