Cookie Policy

Effective date: August 1, 2026

1. Purpose of This Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how D&S Gutters and Restorations (“D&S,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

2. What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are

Cookies are small data files placed on your browser or device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage, tags, pixels, scripts, and software-development tools that store or access information on a device. These technologies may recognize a browser, remember preferences, support security, measure performance, or help understand how a website is used.

3. Cookie Categories

Strictly necessary technologies

These technologies are required to operate core website functions, protect forms, remember privacy choices, maintain security, and provide accessibility features. Because they are necessary for the website to function, they cannot be disabled through our cookie banner.

Analytics technologies

With your permission, analytics technologies may collect information about page visits, referral sources, device type, approximate location, and interactions with the website. We use this information to understand aggregate use and improve website content and performance. Analytics tools are not activated by this theme unless configured by D&S and permitted by your selected preferences.

Marketing technologies

With your permission, marketing technologies may measure campaign performance, limit repeated advertising, or help evaluate whether an advertisement led to a website visit or inquiry. This theme does not activate marketing technologies by default.

4. Technologies Currently Used by This Website

The website stores your cookie-consent selection in your browser so the banner does not reappear on every visit. WordPress, Bluehost, security services, form-processing tools, or authenticated administrator sessions may also use essential cookies. Optional analytics or marketing providers may be added later. When that occurs, this policy should be updated to identify the provider, purpose, duration, and category.

5. Your Choices

When the cookie banner appears, you may accept all optional technologies, reject optional technologies, or choose categories. You may reopen the preference center at any time by selecting Cookie Settings in the footer. You may also delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking necessary technologies may prevent parts of the website from functioning correctly.

6. Browser Controls and Global Privacy Signals

Most browsers allow you to view, delete, or block cookies and to control site permissions. Browser controls vary by provider and device. Where legally required and technically supported, we will evaluate recognized browser-based privacy signals in connection with optional technologies.

7. Data Collected Through Cookies

Depending on the technologies enabled, information may include IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, approximate location, timestamps, identifiers, and interaction information. We use and disclose this information as described in our Privacy Policy.

8. Retention

Cookie duration varies. Session cookies generally expire when a browser closes. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until deleted. Our consent preference is stored locally so we can remember your selection. Third-party providers determine the duration of their own cookies, subject to their policies and our configuration.

9. Third-Party Technologies

Third-party services may place or access cookies when their features are enabled. Their processing is governed by their own terms and privacy notices. We do not control the operation of third-party browser technologies.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when website features, vendors, legal requirements, or our practices change. The effective date above identifies the current version.
