Privacy Policy Summary

Cost of Living USA is committed to protecting the privacy of all visitors. We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-friendly analytics service that uses no cookies, stores no personal data, and is fully compliant with GDPR and CCPA. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. Our comparison tools operate using publicly available government data, and any selections you make are processed entirely in your browser.

Cookie Policy

This website does not use tracking cookies. No advertising, profiling, or third-party cookies are placed. User preferences (such as dark/light mode) are stored in the browser's localStorage, which is not a cookie and is never transmitted to our servers.

localStorage is a client-side storage mechanism provided by the HTML5 standard. Data stored in localStorage remains on your device and is never sent to external servers. You can clear localStorage data at any time through your browser settings. Since no tracking cookies are used, a cookie consent banner is not legally required.

CCPA Rights (California Residents)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, California residents have the right to know what personal information is collected, request deletion of personal information, opt out of the sale of personal information, and not be discriminated against for exercising privacy rights. Since we do not collect personal information through our comparison tools and do not sell personal data, these rights are effectively exercised by default.
