This page explains the cookies and similar technologies used on the Certified Safe LLC website, what they do, and how you can control them. For how we handle personal information more broadly, see our Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device to make things work or remember state between visits. “Similar technologies” includes local storage, session storage, pixels, and web beacons. In this policy, we use “cookies” to refer to all of them.
2. Cookies we use on this site
We keep cookie use to a minimum. The table below covers what’s set when you visit.
| Name / source | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
nf_* — Netlify |
Spam detection and rate-limiting on our quote form. Required for the form to accept your submission. | Essential | Session to 1 year |
_GRECAPTCHA — Google (if enabled) |
Spam protection on form submissions. Only set if reCAPTCHA is active on a given form. | Essential | 6 months |
| Font preload — Google Fonts | Loads the website’s typography. Google may receive your IP address as part of a standard CDN request. No cookies set by us. | Third-party | Request-only |
_ga, _ga_* — Google Analytics 4 |
Measures how visitors use the site (pages viewed, time on page, traffic source) so we can improve it. IP addresses are anonymized. Only set after you click Accept on the cookie banner. | Analytics | Up to 2 years |
3. Third-party links and apps
When you click an off-site link — WhatsApp, Instagram, tel: or mailto: links, or a payment checkout — you leave our site and the destination sets its own cookies under its own policy:
- WhatsApp / Meta privacy policy
- Instagram privacy policy
- Stripe privacy policy (if used for invoicing)
- Google privacy policy (Fonts, reCAPTCHA)
4. Controlling cookies
You have several options:
- Browser settings — most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies site-by-site. Instructions for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
- Do Not Track — we don’t respond to DNT headers today because the standard is inconsistent across browsers. We don’t engage in cross-site tracking, which is what DNT was designed to block.
- Global Privacy Control (GPC) — if your browser sends a GPC signal, we honor it as an opt-out of any future sale or sharing of personal information, consistent with California law. We don’t sell or share personal information today.
- Opt out of essential cookies — these are required for the quote form and basic site security, so disabling them will prevent you from submitting a quote. You can still call (855) 723-3808, email certifiedsafellc@gmail.com, or message us on WhatsApp.
5. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as our tools change. The “last updated” date above shows the most recent change. Material changes (for example, adding analytics or advertising tools) will be highlighted on the site.
