Cookie policy

A cookie is a small file a website asks your browser to keep. Other kinds of browser storage, such as local storage, do much the same job. This page covers all of it, and it applies to lebanonplumbers.com.

Your choice comes first

Nothing beyond what is strictly necessary runs until you allow it. When you first arrive, a banner asks whether to enable analytics and advertising cookies. Until you choose "Accept all", those categories stay switched off, and choosing "Essential only" keeps them off.

To change your mind later, use the Cookie settings link in the footer of any page. That brings the banner back so you can pick again. Clearing your browsing data also resets the choice, and the banner will ask again on your next visit.

Strictly necessary

These make the site work and cannot be turned off. Right now this category is small: your cookie choice itself is saved in your browser's local storage so you are not asked on every page, and our hosting provider may set short-lived technical cookies to serve pages and protect the site from abuse.

No information in this category is used to track you or to build a profile.

Analytics

With your permission we use analytics to see which pages people read, which pages they leave, and roughly where visitors come from. That is what tells us whether a service page is answering the question it is meant to answer. It is reporting about the site, not about you personally, and we do not use it to identify individual visitors.

Advertising

We run paid advertising, so with your permission we use advertising cookies to measure which ads and keywords lead to a call or a service request. Without that measurement we cannot tell a campaign that works from one that wastes money. These cookies are set by the advertising platforms themselves, and those platforms may also use them to show you our ads elsewhere.

If you choose "Essential only", no advertising cookie is set from this site and no advertising measurement is sent.

Cookies set by other companies

Analytics and advertising cookies are set by the platforms that provide those services, not by us, and the data goes to them as well as to us. Their own policies govern what they do with it. Because that list can change as campaigns change, the reliable way to see exactly which cookies are present on your device is your browser's own storage inspector, which is available in every major browser under its privacy or developer settings.

Controlling cookies in your browser

Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies, and most offer a setting for third-party cookies specifically. Blocking cookies entirely will not stop you using this site, since nothing here depends on them. Your browser's help pages explain where those settings live.

Do Not Track and global privacy signals

Browsers can send a signal asking sites not to track. Because our non-essential cookies are off by default and only run once you actively accept them, a visitor who never accepts is never tracked, whatever signal their browser sends.

Changes

If we add a category of cookie, or start using a new platform in a way that changes what is stored, we will update this page and the date at the top of it before that goes live.
