Date and the three categories

When this version took effect

This cookie statement takes effect on 7 October 2026. It is the current version and it replaces whatever stood here before. If we add a tag, drop one, or change how long a key lives, this date moves and the table in part 02 moves with it on the same day.

The privacy notice covers the rest of what the site records — form fields, chat transcripts, server logs, retention periods. Read it next to this page: privacy, accessibility and data requests.

The categories in use, and what each does

Three, in the order of how much they need from you.

Strictly necessary

One key: the record of your cookie answer, stored under site_consent_v2. It exists so the banner stops asking on every page and so the Consent Mode v2 signals can be restored to whatever you chose when you come back. It is set whichever button you press, including Decline, because a declined choice has to be remembered to be respected. There is no way to switch this off and still have the site behave. The support chat also holds its conversation token in your browser's local storage, but only after you open the widget and send a message.

Analytics

Measurement of which pages a visitor reads before they ask for a measure — whether the cedar privacy fence section or the driveway gate section leads to more booked measurements. Blocked until you allow storage. While analytics_storage is denied, pings are cookieless and modelled and carry no identifier that reads back as you.

Advertising

Conversion measurement for the paid search campaigns that bring most of our work: knowing that a click on fence installation austin turned into a measurement booking, so we stop paying for keywords that produce nothing. Blocked until you allow storage. We do not run remarketing audiences built from people who filled in the enquiry form.

No social embeds, no video player, no font loaded from a tracker, no chat widget borrowed from a third party. The chat on this site is ours and posts to our own server.

Cookies answered, fence still unbuilt

Line posts go 24 inches down. Gate posts go 36. Tell us the run length and the height and we will come out with a tape and write the post count, the bag count and the date before anyone digs.
