Cookies Policy

Effective Date: May 29, 2026 · Last Updated: May 29, 2026

This Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, what types of cookies we use on myhydrofix.com, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. It complements our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit them. They are widely used to make websites work, work more efficiently, or provide information to the website owners. Similar technologies — like pixels, web beacons, and local storage — work in essentially the same way.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

2.1 Strictly Necessary

These are required for the website to function. They cannot be turned off without breaking parts of the site. They do things like remember your form inputs, keep your session secure, and load resources from our CDN.

2.2 Analytics

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use our website — which pages are popular, where people come from, how they move through the site, and what content engages them. We use this information to improve the site. We use:

  • Google Analytics (GA4) — page views, sessions, conversion events
  • Google Tag Manager — to manage the analytics and ad tags above

2.3 Advertising

We use advertising cookies and pixels to measure and improve our ad campaigns, and to show relevant ads to people who have visited our site:

  • Google Ads conversion tracking
  • Meta (Facebook) Pixel — tracks site visits and form submissions for ad measurement and retargeting on Facebook and Instagram

2.4 Functional

These cookies allow our site to remember choices you make and provide enhanced features — like remembering which state's drainage calculator you used most recently.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some content on our site is provided by third parties (Google Calendar booking widget, Google Maps for service area, YouTube video embeds). These third parties may set their own cookies when you interact with their content. We do not control these cookies. See their privacy policies for details:

  • Google Privacy Policy
  • Meta Privacy Policy

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

5.1 Browser Controls

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Here are guides for the major browsers:

  • Google Chrome
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Apple Safari
  • Microsoft Edge

Blocking all cookies may cause parts of our website to stop working — for example, calculators may not save your inputs, and our scheduling widget may not load.

5.2 Industry Opt-Outs

You can opt out of interest-based advertising from many participating companies at once through these industry tools:

  • Network Advertising Initiative (NAI)
  • Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA)
  • Your Online Choices (EU)

5.3 Do Not Track

Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" signals. There is no consistent industry standard for responding to these signals. We currently do not respond to Do Not Track signals.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time. The most current version will always be posted on this page, with the "Last Updated" date at the top.
