GCLID

The Google Click Identifier (GCLID) is used to track who visited our website after clicking on a Google advert. This cookie allows us to track offline conversions i.e. customers who decided to ring the call centre to purchase the policy.

Your GCLID ID would be stored in our database only if you request a quote and if you consent to this cookie, so we can therefore see the number of assisted conversions from our online advertising campaigns. The cookie will have a lifespan of 6 months and will only activate on the users browser if they click "Accept" on the cookies banner on our website.

With offline conversion tracking, you can measure which ad clicks result in offline sales by importing the offline data (GCLID) into Google Ads. This will allow us to optimise our campaigns based in a bigger set of data.
