Cookie Policy

Effective Date: May 2026

To make LVShield work seamlessly, we use cookies. Unlike many websites, we do not use cookies to track you across the internet or sell your browsing habits to advertisers. Our cookies exist to ensure the Case Merit Engine functions correctly and to help us understand how the Southern Nevada community uses our platform.

1. What is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small text file saved on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. It allows the website to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

2. Essential 'Engine' Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for LVShield to function. Without them, the core features of our site cannot operate.

  • State Management: When you use the Case Merit Engine, these cookies remember your answers as you move from step to step.
  • Security: These cookies help authenticate your session and prevent fraudulent activity on the platform.

3. Analytics & Performance Cookies

We use anonymized analytics to understand how Southern Nevada drivers interact with our site. This helps us identify which features are most useful and which intersections we should highlight in our Safety Data directory.

These cookies collect aggregated data (such as the number of visitors to the Resource Hub) and do not collect information that personally identifies you.

4. No Third-Party Advertising Cookies

Consistent with our strict anti-adversary Privacy Policy, we do not allow third-party advertising networks, data brokers, or insurance companies to place tracking cookies on your device through LVShield. We do not participate in cross-site targeted advertising.

5. Managing Your Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality (like the multi-step Case Merit Engine) may be severely degraded or broken.

For more information on how to manage cookies, please visit the help or settings menu of your specific web browser.
