Privacy and cookies

Short version: Car Facts IE has no accounts, no sign-up forms and no newsletter, so we don't collect your name, email or phone number.

What this site stores about you

• The price checker, motor tax calculator and NCT checker run entirely in your browser: nothing you type in them is sent to us.
• Check a car ad: the link or text you paste is sent to our server, which opens that one ad once to read it, compares it with our figures and sends the result back. We don't keep the link, the ad or the result, and the ad's photo is shown straight from the car site.
• Hosting: the site is served by Cloudflare, which processes your IP address and basic request details to deliver pages and block attacks (see Cloudflare's privacy policy).
• Visitor counts: we use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count page views. It uses no cookies and doesn't track you across sites or build a profile of you.
• Videos: embedded YouTube videos use YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com), which doesn't set YouTube cookies until you press play.
• Advertising: see below.
