Cookies & How We Use Them
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember preferences and understand how it’s being used.
Essential Cookies
Required for the website to function — things like page navigation and form submissions. The site cannot work correctly without these.
Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use our site (pages visited, time spent, where visitors come from). This data is collected in aggregate and does not identify you personally.
- _ga — set by Google Analytics to tell returning visitors apart. Contains a random identifier, not your name or email. Lasts 2 years.
- _ga_<id> — set by Google Analytics to keep track of a single visit (session). Lasts 2 years.
Functionality Cookies
These remember your preferences to provide a more consistent experience across visits.
Third Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third-party services we use, including Google Analytics and the service that delivers our inquiry form. These providers have their own cookie policies.
Managing Cookies
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect how the site functions. To opt out of Google Analytics on every website, install Google’s opt-out browser add-on.
