Taken from Piston Heads, seems it is correct to.

Craft feckers, wonder if the other searches do the same?

Some others at least do, definitely.

Find that hard to believe, the quote systems are seprerate so it would be impossible for one to know that the other had quoted. It's only the front end that is web based and will be affected by clearing your cookies etc.

Confused make their cash by charging insurance companies up to £10,000 a month just to be on the confused.com panel, not sure if they charge a commission on top of that but if they do it is likely to be very slight as their main aim is to be cheaper than the rest of the market.

Duh I always use a person who is of a similar occupation age and driving history of myself who lives 2 doors down.

I've always suspected that they do this and have always been pragmatic in this regard.

Ah, interesting... well it seems Elephant isn't a third party because them and confused are both part of the Admiral group.

Also, if info was stored in a cookie, they wouldn't have to 'pass' it as such, they could probably just not restrict the cookie so much, or similar.

I wouldn't imagine it had anything to do with cookies. If an insurance company has a deal with confused, since you're putting in all the cars details they'd just compare that.

They'll have some sort of reciprocal information sharing contract, it'll be buried in the T&C's.

As said you aren't supposed to fix the price of milk either , if they get caught , they'll just get a tiny fine from it and do it again.

Super markets were fined 116mil , when they profiteered 270ish mil , which means even though they got caught they still effectively got away with 50% of the ill gotten gains,

if government rules were after our own best interests such fines would be 200% of the amount fixed.

Nah the FSA have some big balls and they have used their authority to close an insurer down.
