Final Sample Size (or Number of Clusters) by Treatment Arms There were 7 arms in the trial: 1 control + 6 treatment arms. The design was a 2 x 3 factorial, crossing colour (red, blue) with claims ration (CR: none, low, medium). Individuals were randomised to one of these conditions. control = 907 blue-no CR = 899 blue-low CR = 882 blue-mod CR = 889 red-no CR = 886 red-low CR = 897 red mod CR = 883

Intervention (Public) Intervention details withheld until trial completion to avoid contamination. Participants completed an online survey with elements mimicking a real-world scenario, in which they purchased a primary product (e.g., plane ticket, mobile phone) and were shown an advertisement for an add-on insurance product (e.g., travel insurance, extended warranty, consumer credit insurance) towards the end of the purchase. In the treatment conditions, participants were shown the ASIC information sheet immediately before the sale of the add-on product. The information sheet was the key intervention.
