The Cost Less Autos LLC website may use “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issues the cookie to you.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the website.
Links to other Sites
Our website does contain links to affiliate and other websites. Please note this privacy policy does not govern the collection and use of information by companies not controlled or managed by Cost Less Autos LLC. Therefore, we encourage all users, visitors, prospects, or customers to be aware when they leave our website and to read the privacy policy of every website that collects personally identifiable information.
Children under the age of Thirteen

Security
Cost Less Autos LLC takes precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.
