Cookies Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device when you visit. They’re used to remember information between page loads and across visits — for example, form data you’ve started entering, accessibility-widget settings, or whether you’ve dismissed a banner.

“Similar technologies” in this policy means localStorage, sessionStorage, and other in-browser storage that works like cookies for these purposes.

2. Categories of cookies we use

2.1 Strictly necessary (always on)

These cookies are essential for the website to function. They cannot be turned off without breaking parts of the site. Common purposes:

• Form security (CSRF/nonce protection on contact and estimate forms)
• Spam protection (Google reCAPTCHA, if configured)
• WordPress session handling for admin users
• Accessibility-widget settings (text size, contrast, etc.)
• Cookie-consent state (so we don’t re-ask on every page)

2.2 Analytics (only if you accept)

If we use a service like Google Analytics, those cookies record anonymized usage data — which pages were visited, in what order, for how long — so we can understand what’s working and what isn’t. They do not identify you personally. We do not share analytics data with advertising networks.

2.3 Marketing (only if you accept)

If we run paid advertising campaigns (Google Ads, Facebook/Meta, etc.), those platforms may set cookies on this site to measure whether their ads led to a contact form submission. These cookies may be used by the platform for retargeting and audience matching subject to their own policies.

3. Specific cookies you may encounter

Because the exact set depends on which features are enabled at the time you visit, the table below describes the most common ones. You can see the current set in your browser’s developer tools (Application → Cookies, or Storage → Cookies).

4. Third-party services that may set cookies

These third parties may set their own cookies if you interact with their content embedded on this site. Their cookies are governed by their own policies, linked here:

• Google (Analytics, reCAPTCHA, Maps): policies.google.com
• Meta / Facebook: facebook.com/privacy
• Thumbtack: thumbtack.com/privacy

5. Managing or blocking cookies

You can view, block, or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent forms from working, log you out of admin areas, or break the accessibility widget.

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data — official guide
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy — official guide
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security — official guide
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions — official guide

To opt out of Google Analytics specifically, you can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

To opt out of advertising-cookie tracking across many networks at once, visit aboutads.info/choices or YourAdChoices.

6. Do Not Track

Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. There is no industry-wide standard for how websites must respond to DNT. We respect explicit consent choices you make on this site over generic DNT signals, but we do not currently treat DNT alone as an opt-out signal.

7. Updates to this policy

We may update this Cookies Policy as the technologies and services we use change. The “Last reviewed” date at the top will change when we do.
