This Cookie Policy explains how Dave Spilsbury Arboricultural Consulting, LLC (“Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at https://aztreeconsulting.com (“Website”). It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can control them.
We keep this to a minimum. We do not show advertisements on our Website, and we do not use advertising, retargeting, or social media tracking cookies.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Dave Spilsbury Arboricultural Consulting, LLC) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., interactive content and analytics).
Websites can also use similar technologies, such as your browser’s “local storage,” which works much like a cookie. In this policy, “cookies” includes these similar technologies.
Why do we use cookies?
We use a small number of first- and third-party cookies for two reasons:
- Strictly necessary: to protect our contact forms from spam and automated abuse, and to remember if you have turned off analytics. These are needed for the Website to work properly.
- Analytics: to understand, in aggregate, how visitors use our Website (for example, which pages are visited most) so we can improve it. These are optional, and you can turn them off below.
Analytics cookies use a randomly generated identifier, not your name or contact details. For more about how we handle personal information, please see our Privacy Policy.
Which cookies do we use?
Strictly necessary
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Type | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| cf.turnstile.u | Cloudflare (challenges.cloudflare.com) | Used by Cloudflare Turnstile, which checks that our contact forms are being filled in by a person and not an automated program. Only used on pages with a contact form. Turnstile privacy policy | Local storage | Persistent |
| analytics-optout | aztreeconsulting.com | Remembers that you turned off analytics in this browser. Only set if you use the switch below. | Local storage | Until you turn analytics back on or clear your browser data |
Analytics
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Type | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics (.aztreeconsulting.com) | Distinguishes visitors by assigning a randomly generated number as a client identifier, which allows visits and sessions to be counted. Google privacy policy | HTTP cookie | Up to 13 months |
| _ga_EM34P8Z6GM | Google Analytics (.aztreeconsulting.com) | Keeps track of the current visit (session) for our Google Analytics account. Google privacy policy | HTTP cookie | Up to 13 months |
Google sets these cookies to last up to two years, but most browsers limit them to about 13 months. You can read how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
We also use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts page views without using cookies or local storage and without identifying individual visitors.
Embedded videos
Our Videos and Sissoo Removals pages show previews of our YouTube videos. Nothing is loaded from YouTube until you click play. The video then plays from YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com), and YouTube may store cookies or similar data on your device as described in Google’s privacy policy.
How can I control cookies?
You can turn off analytics for this browser at any time:
Checking…
You can also use your browser settings to block or delete cookies. The way to do this varies from browser to browser, so please visit your browser’s help pages for more information:
Google also offers a browser add-on to opt out of Google Analytics on all websites.
If you block strictly necessary cookies, our contact forms may not work. You can still reach us by phone or email using the details at the bottom of this page.
Do my choices apply on all my devices?
No. Your choice is saved in the browser you used to make it, and applies to that browser on that device only.
You will need to make your choice again if you visit from a different device or browser, use a private or incognito window (your browser forgets your choice when you close it), or clear your cookies or browser data.
What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
We do not use web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”), advertising tags, or email tracking, and we do not send marketing emails.
Do you serve targeted advertising?
No. We do not display advertisements on our Website, and we do not allow third parties to place advertising or retargeting cookies through it.
How often will you update this Cookie Policy?
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
