Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Summit Roofing Solutions) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics).

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use different types of cookies for various reasons:

2.1. Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the Website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the Website will not then work.

Examples of essential cookies we use:

• Cookie Consent: Stores your cookie preferences to ensure we respect your choices
• Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that enable basic website functionality

2.2. Analytics Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Website. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the Website. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

Examples of analytics cookies we use:

• Google Analytics: Used to collect information about how visitors use our Website

2.3. Marketing Cookies

These cookies are used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user and thereby more valuable for publishers and third-party advertisers.

Examples of marketing cookies we may use:

• Facebook Pixel: Helps us measure the effectiveness of our advertising
• Google Ads: Used to track conversions from Google Ads

2.4. Functionality Cookies

These cookies enable the Website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.

Examples of functionality cookies we use:

• Language Preference: Remembers your preferred language
• Form Pre-fill: May remember information you've entered in forms to make future visits easier

3. Specific Cookies We Use

This list is not exhaustive and may change over time as our Website evolves. Please check back periodically for any updates.

4. How to Manage Cookies

When you first visit our Website, you will be presented with a cookie banner that allows you to accept or decline different types of cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Preferences" button in the footer of our Website.

4.1. Browser Controls

Most web browsers allow you to manage your cookie preferences. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, delete cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. The methods for doing so vary from browser to browser, and from version to version. You can obtain up-to-date information about blocking and deleting cookies via the links below:

• Chrome
• Internet Explorer
• Firefox
• Safari
• Edge

Please note that blocking cookies may impact your experience on our Website, as some features may not function properly.

4.2. Third-Party Opt-Outs

For cookies placed by third-party services, you can also opt out directly with the third parties:

• Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
• Facebook Privacy Settings

5. What Happens If You Disable Cookies?

If you choose to disable cookies, some features of our Website may not function properly. For example:

• You may not be able to use some essential features like logging into user accounts or accessing secure areas
• Your preferences and settings may not be remembered between visits
• Certain interactive content may not be available
• We will be unable to monitor Website performance, which could result in a less optimized user experience

However, you can still browse most of the public content on our Website with cookies disabled.

6. Other Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies on our Website:

6.1. Web Beacons

Small graphic images (also known as "pixel tags" or "clear GIFs") that may be included on our Website, which typically work in conjunction with cookies to identify our users and user behavior.

6.2. Local Storage

Technologies like HTML5 localStorage and IndexedDB, which allow data to be stored locally on your device and do not automatically expire when the browser is closed, unlike cookies.

7. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our business practices. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to check this page periodically for any changes.
