Cookie and tracking disclosures govern storage choices on this site.

§ 1.0 Effective Date and Status

This Cookie Policy took effect on October 17, 2026. It sets out the exact browser storage technologies, device identifiers, session cookies, and advertising measurement mechanisms active across edgarshandyman.us. Edgar's Painting and Handyman Services, LLC maintains this statement in the present tense to reflect live marketing campaigns, direct customer intake, and technical telemetry operating today from our dispatch workshop at 132 Federal St, Suite 101, Bridgeport, CT 06606.

Any revisions to tracking parameters, consent signals, or third-party tags update this document immediately with an amended ledger timestamp.

§ 2.0 Cookie Categories in Use

This website divides local storage mechanisms and HTTP headers into three disciplined functional categories:

• Strictly Necessary Storage: Essential for core website delivery, form CSRF timing verification, support chat persistence, and recording your active consent decision. These storage keys do not track browsing behavior across external websites and cannot be disabled without breaking service quote requests.
• Analytics and Diagnostic Measurement: Used to aggregate page counts, measure server request latencies, and assess navigation through our $60–$125/hr rate schedules. Analytics storage operates only after explicit consent is granted.
• Advertising and Attribution Storage: Deployed in connection with search engine marketing campaigns to confirm whether a paid click resulted in an estimate inquiry or telephone call. Advertising tags attach campaign tokens and measure conversions without collecting sensitive personal credentials.

§ 3.0 Authoritative Storage Ledger

The table below lists every primary cookie, browser storage key, and session identifier used by edgarshandyman.us, including issuer, stated operational function, and precise retention period:

§ 4.0 Advertising Platforms and Click Identifiers

This website receives active paid traffic through sponsored marketing channels. Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, and Meta Ads direct prospective residential and commercial clients to our Bridgeport trade services. When a visitor reaches edgarshandyman.us through an advertisement, these platforms append unique click parameter strings to the query URL:

• gclid: The Google Click Identifier appended by Google Ads to track ad impressions, keyword matching, and inquiry completions.
• msclkid: The Microsoft Click Identifier attached by Microsoft Advertising to measure Bing search campaign efficacy.
• fbclid: The Meta Click Identifier appended by Meta Ads across Facebook and Instagram mobile feeds to record landing page interactions.

These click tokens allow our intake systems to verify marketing attribution. They are never paired with bank accounts, social security numbers, or sensitive demographics, and they are processed strictly subject to visitor consent switches.

§ 5.0 Consent Mode v2 Architectural Implementation

In full compliance with current ad platform technical requirements, edgarshandyman.us implements Consent Mode v2. By default, before any user action is taken on our consent banner, the browser executes four strict baseline denial states:

While signals remain denied, advertising tags operate exclusively in cookieless ping mode without accessing device cookies or writing persistent local data. If a visitor declines or later revokes consent, all four signals instantly revert to denied.

§ 6.0 Giving, Managing, and Withdrawing Consent

When you first access our website, a non-blocking notification bar docks at the foot of your screen offering distinct choices: Accept to allow advertising and analytics cookies, or Decline to maintain strict denial across non-essential trackers. Your preference is stored in the site_consent_v2 cookie for exactly 6 months.

You can change or withdraw your choice at any point during your visit. An accessible trigger labeled Manage Cookies sits permanently in our footer on every page, or you may click the direct control button below to clear stored preferences and reopen the selection tray:

Furthermore, this website recognizes and automatically honors the Global Privacy Control (Sec-GPC) signal emitted by modern privacy browsers. When a GPC header is detected, marketing and personalization storage signals are set to denied immediately without requiring manual banner dismissal.

§ 7.0 Technical Effects of Refusal or Opt-Out

Refusing non-essential cookies has zero negative impact on your ability to use this website. If you choose Decline or configure browser tracking prevention:

• You can freely review all trade services, hourly rate benchmarks ($60–$125/hr), and technical specifications.
• The structural shelf and fastener load calculator functions with full accuracy using purely local client-side arithmetic.
• The repair estimate request form at fivi982.php submits cleanly, requiring only your contact details and explicit human consent check.
• The direct dispatch chat interface connects without interruption.
• External ad networks (Google, Microsoft, Meta) are blocked from placing attribution cookies or reading device identifiers.

§ 8.0 Platform Privacy Statements and Opt-Out Portals

Where third-party ad networks handle data subject to your consent, their respective practices are governed by their published privacy terms. You may review and manage network-level cross-site advertising controls directly at the following authoritative portals:

• Microsoft Ireland Operations Ltd: Review the official Microsoft privacy documentation at https://privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement and privacy.microsoft.com, and manage Bing ad personalization at account.microsoft.com/privacy/ad-settings.
• Google Ireland Ltd / Google LLC: Review Google's advertising technologies, terms, and data collection policies at policies.google.com, and control ad profile preferences through Google Ad Center.
• Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd: Review Meta's data policy and adjust Facebook and Instagram sponsored ad preferences through Meta Accounts Center.

No statement on this website asserts or implies that any advertising platform has reviewed, endorsed, verified, or approved Edgar's Painting and Handyman Services, LLC.
