Cookie & Local Storage Technical Policy

Effective Date & Active Scope

This Cookie and Consent Policy took effect on October 17, 2026. It applies to all electronic communications, browser cache interactions, and client-side storage keys initiated when visiting andrehandyman.us or communicating with Bayfront Home Repair.

We operate an honest trade business. We do not bury silent tracking scripts inside page code or deploy covert fingerprinting routines. Every storage mechanism implemented across this site is documented in the numbered clauses below.

Cookie & Storage Categories

To maintain transparency regarding what runs inside your web browser, Bayfront Home Repair classifies all digital storage into three distinct categories:

• Strictly Necessary Storage: Essential technical mechanisms required to render web markup, protect server forms from automated bot spam, and store the visitor's consent choice. These keys cannot be turned off because the website cannot safely function without them. They do not harvest advertising profiles or follow you to external websites.
• Functional & Chat Storage: Storage keys used to maintain conversational continuity within the on-page technician chat widget (pimuae9.php). This allows Andre King to review recent repair details if you navigate between project pages without dropping the thread.
• Advertising & Analytics Measurement: Digital tags and parameters used to evaluate paid advertising efficiency across San Diego search queries. These mechanisms measure whether ad clicks from platforms like Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, and Meta Ads result in completed service dispatch inquiries. They operate strictly under Consent Mode v2 gating.

Comprehensive Storage Key Inventory

The following table enumerates all cookies, session variables, and localStorage keys utilized across this domain, detailing provider origin, purpose, lifespan, and classification:

Advertising Platforms & Click Identifiers

Bayfront Home Repair actively invests in paid commercial traffic to connect with San Diego property owners needing structural home repairs. In the present tense, campaigns run across Google Ads (google ads) and Microsoft Advertising (microsoft advertising), with selective placement through Meta Ads (meta ads).

When an ad is clicked, the platform appends a distinctive click identifier string to the URL. The specific identifiers evaluated by this site include:

• gclid: The Google Click Identifier, passed by Google Ads to verify campaign source, keyword match, and landing page quality.
• msclkid: The Microsoft Click Identifier, passed by Microsoft Advertising across Bing and partner search placements.
• fbclid: The Meta Click Identifier, passed when a visitor clicks a sponsored repair link on Facebook or Instagram.

These click identifiers are handled in strict adherence to our Consent Mode v2 architecture. They are never transmitted to third parties for independent profile creation if advertising storage has been declined.

Consent Mode v2 Operational Defaults

To ensure compliance with global privacy expectations, this site operates Consent Mode v2 natively (consent mode). Before any visitor makes an active selection, our client-side scripts establish default restrictive signals for four core parameters:

• ad_storage='denied': No advertising cookies or local device identifiers are written or read.
• ad_user_data='denied': No user-identifiable data or contact hashes are transmitted for advertising measurement.
• ad_personalization='denied': No behavioral profiles or remarketing lists are populated from page interactions.
• analytics_storage='denied': No persistent analytical client cookies are written to the browser.

Only when a visitor provides affirmative consent by clicking "Allow All Storage" are these four parameters updated to granted. If a visitor declines storage, the signals remain locked at denied, ensuring zero unauthorized tracking scripts execute.

How Consent Is Given, Changed, or Withdrawn

When you first visit Bayfront Home Repair, a docked consent banner appears at the base of the viewport. You have two clear options:

1. "Allow All Storage": Grants affirmative consent, updating Consent Mode v2 variables to granted and storing site_consent_v2='granted' in your browser for 12 months.
2. "Decline Non-Essential": Rejects all optional cookies and trackers. Consent Mode v2 variables remain denied, and site_consent_v2='denied' is recorded.

Operational Impact of Declining Non-Essential Storage

Declining cookies does not restrict your access to Bayfront Home Repair. We believe in providing an unfiltered trade experience regardless of your privacy preferences:

• What Still Works Completely: You can read all rate schedules, review technical tolerances, use the interactive Fit & Dispatch Checker, submit repair inquiries via zupubd7.php, and telephone Andre King directly.
• What Stops: Advertising networks will not receive attribution signals linking your inquiry to specific Google Ads or Bing search campaigns, and cross-session chat persistence may reset if you refresh your browser.

Third-Party Platform Privacy Documentation

Where advertising measurement or hosting infrastructure involves external service providers, their independent corporate privacy declarations govern how they secure network traffic. You may inspect their published policies directly:

• Google Advertising Services: Consult Google's comprehensive data management policies at policies.google.com.
• Microsoft Advertising & Bing: Review Microsoft's consumer privacy commitments via the official Microsoft privacy statement at privacy.microsoft.com.
• Meta Platforms: Review Meta's advertising tracking and cookie policies at facebook.com/privacy/policy.
