What cookies are

Cookies are small files saved on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember information between pages and visits.

Essential cookies — required for core site functionality (for example, keeping you signed in).
Security cookie (mtc_bid) — a random, signed identifier set the first time you search for an address or run a check. It lets us give every visitor a fair share of address searches and free checks, so people who share an internet connection (a household, an office or a mobile network) do not use up each other's allowance. It is a random identifier that contains no name, email address or account details and is not linked to your account; we use it only to count usage for fairness and security. It is never used for advertising or analytics, and expires after 180 days. Because it protects the service, the search and check features do not work if your browser blocks it.
Analytics cookies — help us understand which pages are useful so we can improve the service.

You can control and delete cookies in your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may affect how the site works.
