This Cookie Policy explains how [Legal Business Name], doing business as Floor Shield Lowcountry (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), uses cookies and similar technologies on the website located at floorshieldlowcountry.com (the “Website”), and the choices you have.

This policy is part of, and should be read together with, our Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They help the website work properly, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors use the site. Similar technologies, such as pixels and local storage, work in much the same way, and we refer to all of them as “cookies” in this policy.

Cookies may be “session” cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or “persistent” cookies, which stay on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They may be set by us (“first-party” cookies) or by other companies whose services we use (“third-party” cookies).

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

  • Essential cookies. These help the Website load and function properly, keep it secure, and make features like our contact form work. The Website may not work as expected without them.
  • Analytics cookies. These collect standard, non-personally-identifying information about how visitors use the Website, such as the pages they view, how long they stay, and the general region they visit from. We use this information to understand traffic and improve the Website.
  • Embedded content cookies. Some content on the Website, such as maps or customer reviews from Google, is provided by third parties and may set its own cookies when it loads.

We do not use cookies to sell your personal information.

3. Cookies We Use

The specific cookies on the Website may change over time. Currently, they include:

  • Google Analytics. Sets cookies, typically named _ga and _ga_ followed by an identifier, to distinguish visitors and measure site usage. These cookies can remain on your device for up to two years.
  • WordPress and site functionality. Cookies that support core site features, such as security, form submissions, and remembering basic settings.
  • Google reviews and maps. If you view embedded reviews or maps, Google or the widget provider may set cookies to deliver the content.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties that provide services to us. For example, Google processes analytics data on our behalf, and its use of data is governed by Google’s Privacy Policy. We do not control third-party cookies, and we encourage you to review the policies of those providers to learn how they use information.

5. Managing Your Cookie Choices

You can control or refuse cookies in several ways:

  • Browser settings. Most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies. Check your browser’s help menu for instructions. Blocking all cookies may affect how the Website works.
  • Google Analytics opt-out. You can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to stop your visit data from being used by Google Analytics.
  • Private browsing. Using a private or incognito window limits how long cookies stay on your device.

If you delete or block cookies, you may need to re-enter some information when you return, and certain parts of the Website may not work as intended.

6. “Do Not Track” Signals

Our Website does not currently respond to browser “Do Not Track” signals. You can use the browser settings and opt-out tools above to limit the information collected.

7. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example when we add or remove a service that uses cookies. When we do, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. Changes are effective as soon as they are posted. Your continued use of the Website after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
