We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our website and hold certain information. Cookies are files with small amounts of data that may include an anonymous unique identifier. These technologies help us understand how members use our service to find Costco gas prices.
We use both session and persistent cookies for purposes including: (i) essential website functionality, (ii) analytics to improve our service for Costco members, and (iii) personalization to show relevant gas price information.

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. This includes encryption of data in transit and at rest, regular security assessments, and restricted access to personal information.
However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. We recommend taking precautions when accessing our service from public or shared devices.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by Costco Gas Prices, including the official Costco website. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

Children's Privacy
Our services are not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us.
Costco membership requires individuals to be at least 18 years old, so our service is primarily intended for adult members.
