Cookie Policy
Effective date: August 11, 2026
This policy explains how Smart Stone Countertops, LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies on https://www.smartstonecountertops.com.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They let a site remember information about your visit, such as which pages you viewed or what preferences you set.
Cookies we set
| Cookie | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|
_ga |
Google Analytics. Distinguishes one visitor from another so we can count unique visits | 2 years |
_ga_4SYZ39ZD38 |
Google Analytics. Keeps track of a single visit from page to page | 2 years |
cookieyes-consent |
Remembers the privacy choice you made on our cookie banner so we do not ask again on every page | 1 year |
Expiration periods for the Analytics cookies reflect Google’s default settings and may change if Google updates its service.
What we use Google Analytics for
Google Analytics 4 tells us things like how many people visited the site, which pages they viewed, how long they stayed, and roughly which region they came from. We use this to improve the website and understand which services people are looking for.
We do not use Analytics for advertising, retargeting, or profiling. The information we see is grouped and anonymous. We do not use it to identify individual visitors, and we do not connect it to anything you send us through our contact form or tell us over the phone.
Google Analytics is a service provided by Google LLC, and the data it collects is processed by Google under Google’s own terms and privacy policy. You can read how Google handles that data at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Google services embedded in our pages
Two parts of our site load content directly from Google. When they do, Google may set its own cookies on your device. Those cookies come from Google, not from us. We do not control them and we do not receive any information from them.
The map on our Contact page. We embed a Google Map so you can find our shop.
Spam protection on our contact form. Our quote request form uses Google reCAPTCHA to tell real visitors apart from automated spam. It runs while the Contact page is open, not only when you press Submit.
Google explains its use of cookies at https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies. If you would rather not load either service, you can skip our Contact page and reach us by phone at (352) 519-5119.
About the “Do Not Sell or Share” option
Our cookie banner may includes a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” option. This is a standard control that privacy laws in some states require websites to offer, and our banner software provides it by default.
To be clear about what it does here: we do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with advertisers, data brokers, or any other company for marketing purposes. Choosing that option turns off the Google Analytics cookies described above. Nothing about your quote or your project changes either way.
How to control or remove cookies
Our cookie banner. Use the privacy button on our site to review or change your choice at any time.
Browser settings. Every major browser lets you block cookies, delete cookies already stored, or warn you before a cookie is set. These controls are usually found under Settings, Privacy, or Security. Blocking cookies will not stop you from using this website or requesting a quote.
Google Analytics opt-out. Google offers a browser add-on that stops Google Analytics from collecting data on any site you visit. It is available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Private or incognito browsing. Cookies set during a private browsing session are usually deleted when you close the window.
Other websites
Our site links to other websites we do not control, including our Facebook page. This policy does not cover cookies set by those sites. We recommend reading the cookie or privacy policy of any site you visit.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy if our website or the tools we use change. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page.
