What This Policy Covers
This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar browser storage technologies may be used on the website for Fireside Chimney Sweep. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, and scripts that remember preferences or measure activity. This policy is a general disclosure for a local-business website; it does not invent a claim that every category below is active on every visit.
Essential / Strictly Necessary
Essential cookies and storage support core site operation. Examples include security tokens, load balancing, form integrity, session continuity while you complete a request, and remembering a cookie-preference choice if a consent banner is present. These technologies are generally required for the site to function as intended. Blocking them may break contact forms, navigation, or basic security features.
Functional / Preference
Functional storage may remember choices such as preferred language (if offered), dismissed notices, or UI preferences. These improve convenience but are not always required for basic browsing. If functional tools are not enabled on the live site, this category may not set cookies for your visit.
Analytics
Analytics cookies or scripts—if enabled—help measure aggregate traffic, popular pages, approximate geography, device types, and referral sources so the business can understand whether the website is useful. Analytics providers process data under their own policies. This site does not claim a specific analytics vendor is always present; check your browser tools or any on-site consent interface for the current configuration.
Marketing / Advertising
Marketing cookies or pixels—if enabled—may support advertising measurement, remarketing, or campaign attribution. They are not required to read service information or submit a basic contact request. If no advertising tools are installed, this category may be inactive. Fireside Chimney Sweep does not use this policy to assert that ads are currently running.
Embedded Third-Party Content
Embedded maps, videos, fonts, chat widgets, or review badges may cause third-party domains to set or read their own cookies when those embeds load. Those providers control their technologies. Review the provider’s privacy and cookie documentation if you interact with embedded content.
How to Manage Cookies
You can usually delete or block cookies through your browser settings (often under Privacy, Security, or Site Settings). You may also use private/incognito browsing, limit cross-site tracking, or install reputable browser extensions. If a cookie-consent banner or preference center appears on this site, use it to adjust non-essential categories where offered. Blocking essential storage may affect forms and site features. Browser controls may not stop every server-side log or every third-party request initiated by an embed you choose to load.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Controls
Some browsers send “Do Not Track” (DNT) or Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals. How this site responds depends on which tools are actually installed and on applicable law. Where a legally recognized opt-out signal applies to sale or sharing of personal information, Fireside Chimney Sweep will honor it to the extent required and technically feasible for enabled processors. Contact the business if you need confirmation of current signal handling.
Changes
This Cookie Policy may change when hosting, analytics, marketing, or embed tools change. The “Last updated” date will be revised when material updates are published.
