This Cookie Policy explains how Orange County Garage Doors Inc. (“Orange County Garage Doors,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website. It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and the choices you have for managing them.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit. They allow the site to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and understand how you interact with the pages. Similar technologies, such as pixels, web beacons, and local storage, perform comparable functions.
Cookies may be “session” cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or “persistent” cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They may also be set by us (“first-party” cookies) or by outside services we work with (“third-party” cookies).
Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies and similar technologies on our website:
| Category | Purpose | Typical Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Enable core site functions, security, and form submissions | Session / short-term |
| Analytics | Measure traffic and understand how visitors use the site | Up to 2 years |
| Advertising | Deliver relevant ads and measure campaign performance | Up to 1 year |
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for our website to function properly. They support basic features such as page navigation, security, and submitting service request or contact forms. Because the site cannot operate correctly without them, essential cookies cannot be turned off through our preferences and do not require your consent.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors find and use our website, including which pages are most popular and how people move through the site. This information is generally aggregated and helps us improve our content, navigation, and overall customer experience.
Advertising Cookies
Advertising cookies are used to deliver ads that are more relevant to you and to measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. They may track your visits across websites and help limit how often you see a particular ad. These cookies are typically set by advertising partners such as Google and Meta.
Third-Party Cookies & Tracking
Some cookies on our website are placed by trusted third-party services that help us analyze traffic and run advertising. These providers may use the information they collect in accordance with their own privacy policies.
Google Analytics Usage
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website, such as which pages they view and how long they stay. Google Analytics sets cookies to collect this information, which is generally reported to us in aggregate form. You can learn more in Google’s privacy documentation and limit this collection using Google’s browser opt-out tools, described below.
Google Ads Usage
We use Google Ads to promote our garage door services and to measure how effective our advertising is. Google may set cookies to record when you interact with our ads and visit our site afterward (known as conversion tracking) and to show you relevant ads on other websites. You can review and adjust your ad preferences through Google’s advertising settings.
Meta/Facebook Tracking (Pixel)
We may use the Meta Pixel (formerly the Facebook Pixel) to measure the results of our advertising on Facebook and Instagram and to reach people who have shown interest in our services. The Pixel uses cookies and similar technologies to record certain actions on our site. You can manage your ad preferences through the settings in your Facebook and Instagram accounts and through Meta’s privacy resources.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have several options for controlling cookies and similar technologies. Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of our website, including your ability to use forms and certain features.
Browser Controls
Most web browsers let you view, manage, block, and delete cookies through their settings menu. The exact steps vary by browser, but options are typically found under “Settings,” “Privacy,” or “Security”:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions
You can usually choose to block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or delete cookies that have already been stored. Many browsers also offer a “private” or “incognito” browsing mode that limits the cookies retained after your session.
Opt-Out Tools
In addition to your browser settings, you can use industry and provider tools to limit advertising and analytics tracking:
- Google: Use Google’s Ads Settings and the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to limit Google’s collection and use of your data.
- Meta: Adjust your ad preferences within your Facebook and Instagram account settings.
- Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA): Use the DAA’s consumer choice tools to opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies.
- Network Advertising Initiative (NAI): Use the NAI’s opt-out page to manage interest-based advertising from member companies.
Opting out does not mean you will stop seeing ads; it means the ads you see may be less tailored to you.
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal that lets you express a preference not to be tracked across websites. There is currently no industry-wide standard for how DNT signals should be interpreted, and our website does not respond differently to them at this time. You can still manage tracking using the browser controls and opt-out tools described above.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use, our business practices, or applicable laws. When we make changes, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
More Information / Related Policies
This Cookie Policy works alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains in more detail how we collect, use, and protect the personal information we gather, including information collected through cookies. We encourage you to review our Privacy Policy for a complete understanding of our data practices.
