Cookie Policy
Last Updated:
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how FlowMaster Plumbing ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website (the "Service") to recognize you when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
In some cases, we may use cookies to collect personal information, or information that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information. In such cases, our Privacy Policy will also apply.
2. 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 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, FlowMaster Plumbing) 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., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).
3. Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons:
- Essential Cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas.
- Performance and Analytics Cookies: These cookies allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
- Functionality Cookies: These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
- Targeting/Advertising Cookies: These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant content on other sites.
4. Types of Cookies We Use
4.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. You may disable these by changing your browser settings, but this may affect how the website functions.
4.2 Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website. These cookies help us improve our website by providing information about areas visited, time spent on the site, and any issues encountered, such as error messages.
4.3 Preference Cookies
Preference cookies allow our website to remember information that changes the way the website behaves or looks, such as your preferred language or the region you are in.
5. Third-Party Cookies
In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics of the Service, deliver advertisements on and through the Service, and so on. These third-party cookies may include:
- Google Analytics for website analytics
- Social media platforms for social sharing functionality
- Advertising networks for targeted advertising
6. How Can You Control Cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, limiting the ability of websites to set cookies may worsen your overall user experience.
Here are links to the cookie settings for the most popular browsers:
Additionally, you can opt out of some third-party cookies directly through the third-party's website. For example, you can opt out of Google Analytics cookies by visiting the Google Analytics Opt-out page.
7. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no standard for how DNT signals work. Therefore, our website does not currently respond to DNT signals. We will continue to monitor developments around DNT browser technology and the implementation of a standard.
8. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our business operations. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Cookie Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this Cookie Policy.
