Privacy.
Coast of Cars measures how pages get used, not who uses them. You need no account, and the site has no ads.
What we count
We send a small set of events to PostHog, an analytics service, through our own subdomain:
- which page opened and when it closed
- which link was clicked, without any filter in its address
- which share card was downloaded or shared, and how
- which shared card or channel brought the visit, when the link carried that tag
- that a ZIP search ran, with its length and number of matches
What we leave out
We do not send what you type in a search, your filter choices, or the query or fragment of any address. We do not use session recording, automatic click capture, heatmaps, surveys or person profiles. We do not sell data.
What your browser stores
The analytics client sets no cookies. It keeps a random ID in your browser's local storage and the session's details in local and session storage, so one visit reads as one session. You can clear them at any time.
How to turn it off
If your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control, the site sends no events. The site also works in full when a blocker stops the analytics script.
Who receives requests
Cloudflare hosts the site and PostHog receives the events. Each of them receives your IP address with the request, as any web service does. PostHog can use it to estimate a rough location for the visit.
The vehicle data
The counts on this site are aggregates by ZIP code. They name no person and no vehicle. About the data lists each source.
