Cookie Policy
Last updated: 6 October 2026
Cookies are small files that a website stores on your device. We use as few as we can. This page explains which ones, why, and how to change your mind. It should be read with our Privacy Policy.
Your choice
Analytics, marketing and live chat cookies are off until you agree in our cookie banner. You can change your choice at any time.
Essential cookies
These make the site work and remember your cookie choice. They do not track you, and they are the only cookies we set without asking.
Optional cookies (only with your permission)
- Analytics help us understand how the site is used, using Google Analytics. This helps us improve the pages people actually need.
- Marketing let us measure whether our adverts on Google, Facebook and Instagram lead to enquiries. They can also be used to show you our adverts on other sites.
- Live chat are set by our chat provider, tawk.to, to run the chat window and remember your conversation. See tawk.to’s own cookie information for details.
The cookies we use
| Cookie | Set by | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| bq_consent | BestQuote (this site) | Remembers the cookie choices you made, so we do not ask on every page. | Up to 6 months |
| _ga, _ga_ followed by an ID | Google Analytics | Tells visitors apart and counts visits, pages viewed and how people found the site. | Up to 2 years |
| _gcl_au and similar (_gcl_aw) | Google (Ads and Tag Manager) | Links an enquiry back to the advert that led to it, so we can measure our advertising. | Up to 90 days |
| _fbp | Meta (Facebook and Instagram Pixel) | Measures whether our Facebook and Instagram adverts lead to enquiries, and helps show relevant adverts. | Up to 90 days |
Durations are the usual maximum set by each provider and can change. Google Tag Manager itself does not set cookies; it only starts tools you have agreed to.
