COOKIE POLICY — homeswithtony.net Effective date: 2026-10-23 ======================================== COOKIE POLICY — homeswithtony.net ======================================== 1. What cookies are Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We also use similar technologies (such as local storage and embedded widgets) that work in a similar way. This policy explains what we use and how you can control them. 2. How we use cookies — by category (a) Strictly necessary (no consent required, but we disclose them here): - Security and site operation cookies set by our website platform to keep the site working. - Cloudflare Turnstile verification on our inquiry forms — protects our forms against bots and spam. This is a security measure, not advertising. (b) Functional / preferences: - The appointment calendar on our Contact page may remember your selected timezone (America/Edmonton) to display available times correctly. (c) Analytics: - None currently. A technical audit of the site on 2026-10-23 found no Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, or similar analytics trackers in the observable site code. If we add analytics in the future, we will update this policy and ask for your consent first. (d) Advertising / targeting: - None currently. The same 2026-10-23 audit found no Meta Pixel, TikTok pixel, or other advertising trackers in the observable site code. If we add advertising trackers in the future, we will update this policy and ask for your opt-in consent before they load. 3. Consent mechanism STATUS AS OF 2026-10-23: this website does not yet display a cookie consent banner. Before this policy is published, a consent banner must be implemented that: - appears on first visit and explains cookie use in plain language; - offers equally prominent ACCEPT and REJECT (or "Manage preferences") choices — no pre-ticked boxes; - does not load any non-essential (analytics/advertising) trackers until you consent; - lets you change or withdraw your choice at any time (e.g. via a "Cookie settings" link in the footer). When choosing the banner mechanism, we will first check the website platform's built-in consent features before considering any third-party tool. Strictly necessary cookies (section 2a) will still operate, as they are required for the site and its security features to function. 4. Third parties observed on the site Based on the 2026-10-23 technical audit, the only third-party services observed on homeswithtony.net are: - Google Cloud Storage (storage.googleapis.com) — hosts site images/media (functional); - Cloudflare Turnstile — bot protection on inquiry forms (security/necessary); - An embedded property-listings frame on the Listings page (licensed listing data feed). No social-media buttons, map embeds, video embeds, or chat widgets were observed. 5. How to control cookies in your browser You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge all offer this under Privacy/Security settings). Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the site — including our forms — from working properly. 6. Changes to this policy We will update this policy whenever our use of cookies changes, and the current version will always be posted here with its effective date. 7.
