  • Your browser type and version
  • Your operating system
  • Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • Referring URL (the page you visited before arriving at our site)

3. Cookies

GovBenefits.Guide does not set cookies. Our analytics tool (Vercel Web Analytics, described below) works without cookies.

4. Third-Party Services

We use Vercel Web Analytics to count page views. It records anonymous, aggregated data such as the page visited, referring site, country or region, browser, operating system and device type. It does not use cookies, does not store your IP address with page views, and identifies a visit only by a temporary hash that is discarded after 24 hours. We do not share personally identifiable information with any third-party service.

We may display third-party advertising. Advertisers may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to other websites. You can opt out of interest-based advertising at aboutads.info.
