Competitive Auto Glass uses Google Analytics first-party “cookies” and the DoubleClick and other partner third-party “cookies” for reporting and advertising. These first- and third-party cookies are used together to help us better understand your interests and online behavior in an aggregate and anonymous form. The Google Analytics first-party “cookies” are used to compile statistical information and reports on aggregate visitor activity on our website.
