Cookie Privacy

Last Updated: April 28, 2026

At Gil’s Garage Door & Gates, we believe in being upfront about how our website works. This page explains what small files (called cookies) are placed on your computer or phone when you visit our site, why we use them, and how you can control them.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are tiny text files that a website saves on your device. They are not viruses or software; they are simply notes that help the website remember you during your visit or when you come back later.

Think of it like handing a coat check ticket at a restaurant. The ticket helps the server remember which jacket is yours without you having to introduce yourself again.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for three simple reasons on our website:

1. To Make the Site Work: To remember if you filled out a contact form or to keep the website secure.
2. To Understand Our Visitors: To see which pages people read most (like Garage Door Repair vs. Gate Installation) so we can improve the site.
3. To Show Relevant Ads: So if you visit us looking for emergency garage door service, we might show you a related ad later instead of something random.

3. The Specific Cookies We Use

Here is the honest, simple list required for transparency.

4. Your Choices & How to Turn Cookies Off

Browser Settings: You can block cookies in Chrome, Safari, or Edge. Note that some features may not work properly if all cookies are disabled.

5. How Long Do We Keep This Information?

We keep analytics data for 14 months, after which it is automatically deleted. We do not store personal details like your name or address in cookies.

6. Questions About Privacy?

If you have questions about this Cookie Policy or your data, you can contact us below.
