Preferences / functional
These cookies remember choices you make so the experience feels consistent (for example, remembering a selection or form progress).

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the site (pages visited, time on page, traffic sources), so we can improve performance, content clarity, and user experience. Where required, analytics runs only after consent.

Quote requests / scheduling
Our quote request experience is served through the FCPE estimate form and supporting Cloudflare Workers. The form may use first-party session helpers to operate the flow and maintain submission integrity.
Reviews / reputation widgets
We may display verified customer reviews and rating widgets powered by third-party services that may set their own cookies.
Video embeds
If we embed videos, the video provider may set cookies when the embed loads or when you press play.
Maps and external links
Some pages may include maps or links to third-party resources. Clicking out to another website means that site’s cookies and policies apply.
6) Your choices & controls
Cookie preferences (consent tool)
Where required, we provide a consent choice before non-essential cookies are used. If a cookie preferences panel is available, you can revisit it any time via the “Cookie Preferences” link in the site footer.
Browser settings
You can control cookies directly in your browser (block, delete, or limit storage). Most browsers allow you to:
- Delete cookies and site data
- Block third-party cookies
- Block cookies for specific websites
- Clear data on exit
If you disable cookies, some features may not function as intended (especially forms, embedded tools, and preference settings).
Do Not Track / Global privacy signals
Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” or similar global privacy signals. Because there is no single uniform standard, our response may vary by jurisdiction.

Cookies can be:
- Session cookies (deleted when you close your browser)
- Persistent cookies (remain until they expire or you delete them)
Lifespans vary by cookie purpose and provider configuration.
