Privacy Policy
Plain language: this site is built to collect as little as possible. Here is what we do and do not do.
This policy describes how Drive Before Buy ("we", "us", "the site") handles information when you visit.
What we do not collect through the site tools
- We do not require an account, email address, or personal profile to read the site.
- We do not collect payment information because we do not sell cars, rentals, insurance, or financial products directly.
- The Weekend Test Drive Checklist does not send your checked items or notes to our server. Its saved state uses your browser's local storage.
- The Weekend Rental Cost Estimator runs in your browser. The amounts you enter are used only for local arithmetic and are not submitted to us by that tool.
- We do not currently run third-party display advertising networks on this site.
Hosting and technical logs
Like most websites, the hosting and delivery infrastructure may process technical request information needed to serve, secure, and troubleshoot the site. Depending on the provider and configuration, this can include IP address, requested URL, timestamp, browser or user-agent information, and referrer data.
We do not sell this technical information to advertisers.
Local storage
The Weekend Test Drive Checklist uses local storage in your browser to remember checkbox states and notes between visits. That saved checklist data remains on your device unless you clear it through the checklist controls or your browser settings.
Affiliate links
Some pages contain marked affiliate links to third-party booking platforms such as Discover Cars. If you follow one of those links, the third party may use cookies, referral identifiers, or other tracking methods under its own privacy policy.
If a qualifying booking occurs, we may receive commission or referral reporting associated with the affiliate relationship. We do not control the third party's checkout, account, payment, or privacy practices.
See our affiliate disclosure for more information.
Your choices
- You can read the editorial content without creating an account.
- You can clear saved checklist data through the checklist controls or your browser's storage settings.
- You can control cookies and third-party tracking through your browser. Third-party booking platforms may behave differently when cookies are blocked.
Changes to this policy
If the site's data practices materially change, this page should be updated to describe the current behavior.
