Cookie policy.
Short version: we use Google Analytics, but only if you say yes. Here's exactly what is stored in your browser and why.
The consent preference
Whether or not you accept, we store one entry in your browser's local storage — cookie-consent — which remembers your choice so we don't ask you again on every page. It never leaves your browser — we have no server to send it to.
If you click "Accept"
We load Google Analytics, which sets a small set of cookies (typically named _ga and _ga_*) to tell repeat visits apart from new ones and measure which pages get read. We use this to see whether the site is actually helping people find and book a locksmith — not for advertising, and we never sell or share it. Google typically retains this data for up to 14 months. It's subject to Google's own privacy policy — see policies.google.com/privacy.
If you click "Decline"
Nothing beyond the consent preference itself is stored. Google Analytics is never loaded, and no analytics cookies are set. There is no advertising or marketing tracking on this site regardless of your choice — that's not something we use at all.
Change your choice
You can change your mind at any time — this clears your saved preference and brings the banner back on your next page load.
Third-party images
Some photos on this site are served directly from Pexels' content delivery network rather than hosted by us. Loading a page with one of these images causes your browser to make a direct request to Pexels' servers, the same as loading an image from any other website. That request is outside our control and is subject to Pexels' own privacy practices — see pexels.com for details.
Fonts
The typefaces on this site are downloaded once as part of the page and served from our own hosting — there is no live connection to Google Fonts' servers when you visit.
Hosting-level logs
Our hosting provider (Vercel) may keep standard server access logs — IP address, browser type, page requested — for security and operational purposes, the same as any web host. We don't access these for marketing and they aren't linked to any cookie on this site.
Controlling it
Click "Decline" on the banner and nothing is stored beyond that single choice. You can also clear it at any time by clearing your browser's local storage/site data for this domain, or by using your browser's private/incognito mode.
If that ever changes
If we add advertising cookies or any other tracking beyond Google Analytics in future, this page will be updated first and the banner will ask for your consent again before anything new is set.
