Cookie Notice & Technical Disclosures

1. Effective Date & Document Governance

This technical cookie notice took effect on October 17, 2026. It provides an exhaustive, unambiguous disclosure of every cookie, web storage key, and advertising telemetry mechanism utilized across georgehandyman.us. Document governance operates under the law of CA, United States, with disputes heard in the courts of INDIO.

We operate our digital presence with the same physical honesty we apply to home repairs in Indio: no hidden scripts, no concealed telemetry, and no deceptive dark patterns. When you visit this website, you retain absolute authority over what data is stored on your device.

2. Cookie Categories & Storage Classification

Our website uses browser cookies and HTML5 localStorage items classified strictly into three distinct functional categories:

• Strictly Necessary Storage: These elements are technically required for core website features to operate. They enable navigation across ourboxed frame layout, preserve active conversations with George in our live chat desk, enforce honeypot anti-spam defenses on wuro718.php, and remember your cookie consent preferences. They do not track your personal identity across other websites and cannot be disabled without breaking site functionality.
• Analytics & Performance Telemetry: These measurements aggregate anonymized performance data regarding page load speeds, resource download times, and broken link responses. This lets our trade portfolio photos load cleanly over mobile desert networks without slowing down your phone. These remain completely inactive until you provide consent.
• Advertising & Campaign Measurement: When we run targeted search or social ads directing Indio homeowners to our drywall, plumbing, electrical, or masonry services, these tokens connect your visit to the specific campaign click. They measure whether a visit resulted in an assessment booking, enabling us to avoid buying wasted ad impressions. These tokens are strictly controlled by Consent Mode v2 and remain blocked by default.

3. Active Storage Inventory Table

The following table discloses every specific cookie, local storage key, and session variable created, read, or managed through this platform:

Note: This website does not load third-party flash cookies, canvas fingerprinting scripts, or cross-site tracking beacons.

4. Paid Advertising Platforms & Click Identifiers

George Handyman Inc is an active commercial service receiving inbound paid visits today. We finance campaigns across major search and social engines to reach homeowners needing residential repairs in Indio, CA.

When a prospective client searches for "ceiling fan installation Indio" or "irrigation repair Indio CA" and clicks our sponsored listing, the referring network appends a specific URL click token. We actively process three platform identifiers:

• google ads: Appends the gclid (Google Click Identifier) parameter to attribute conversions and track ad return on investment.
• Microsoft Advertising: Appends the msclkid (Microsoft Click Identifier) parameter to analyze conversion effectiveness across the Microsoft and Bing advertising networks.
• Meta Ads: Appends the fbclid (Facebook Click Identifier) parameter when traffic originates from sponsored neighborhood social campaigns.

These tokens are read solely to verify that an intake inquiry on wuro718.php originated from an active ad. They are never paired with external credit records, and we make no claims that any advertising network has personally reviewed, verified, or endorsed our trade business.

5. Google Consent Mode v2 State Architecture

We implement Google consent mode v2 directly within our client-side runtime (assets/js/pera272.js). To maintain compliance with data privacy mandates, our system enforces a strict default-denied architecture across four distinct telemetry signals:

• ad_storage: Set to 'denied' on initial page initialization; forbids setting or reading cookies related to advertising.
• ad_user_data: Set to 'denied' on initial page initialization; prohibits sending end-user diagnostic telemetry to Google for marketing purposes.
• ad_personalization: Set to 'denied' on initial page initialization; forbids the use of visit data for remarketing or custom audience profiling.
• analytics_storage: Set to 'denied' on initial page initialization; prevents writing statistical analytics cookies.

These four variables remain in a hard 'denied' state until the user actively presses "Accept Tracking" on our docked cookie banner. The moment a user clicks "Decline All", or if they later re-open their preferences to revoke consent, all four variables are immediately switched back to 'denied'.

6. Managing, Changing & Withdrawing Consent

Your initial consent choice is collected via our docked bottom banner, which presents clear, equal-weight controls: "Accept Tracking" or "Decline All".

Immediate Revocation Mechanism: You are never locked into an earlier decision. To change or withdraw your choice at any time:

1. Scroll to the footer of any page on georgehandyman.us.
2. Click the underlined "Cookie Preferences" button in the bottom legal row.
3. The consent bar will instantly re-dock at the bottom of your screen, allowing you to select "Decline All" or "Accept Tracking".
4. Your choice is updated in real time, immediately modifying site_consent_v2 in your local storage and updating Consent Mode signals without requiring a full browser restart.

Additionally, you may purge stored cookies directly through your web browser settings (Chrome, Safari, Edge, or Firefox) by clearing site data for georgehandyman.us.

7. Impact of Declining Cookie Storage

If you click "Decline All", or if your browser broadcasts a Global Privacy Control signal, your experience on George Handyman Inc remains unaffected and fully functional:

• What Continues Working Perfectly: You can browse all 8 service specialities, view our verified Indio project photos, inspect published hourly rates ($60–125/hr), calculate small-job budgets ($85–200/job), submit estimate requests via wuro718.php, and chat directly with George in the live support widget.
• What Is Blocked & Suppressed: No third-party ad tracking scripts will execute, no conversion pings will be transmitted to Google or Microsoft, and no cross-site remarketing cookies will be written to your device.

We do not penalize visitors who decline tracking. You will never encounter higher diagnostic rates, hidden fees, or diminished customer support because you chose to protect your browsing privacy.

8. Third-Party Platform Policies & Documentation

For complete transparency regarding how third-party advertising networks process telemetry and conversion signals, we provide direct references to their official corporate privacy policies:

• Microsoft Advertising: Microsoft processes telemetry in accordance with the official Microsoft Privacy Statement accessible at privacy.microsoft.com.
• Google Ads & Google Marketing: Google's data handling protocols, cookie management, and Consent Mode operations are documented under the Google Privacy & Terms portal at policies.google.com.
• Meta Platforms: Meta's cookie technologies and advertising measurement terms are detailed in the Meta Privacy Policy.

We urge homeowners to review these external policies to understand how multi-national technology vendors handle network-level telemetry.
