Cookies Policy

This Cookies Policy ("Policy") describes the use of cookies and similar technologies by Spyxaronstaphis ("we," "us," or "our") on the website spyxaronstaphis.world (the "Site"). It explains what cookies are, how we use them, what choices you have regarding their use, and how you can manage or delete them. This Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes our broader practices regarding the collection and use of personal information when you use the Site and when you engage our shrub trimming, tree pruning, and related landscape care services.

By continuing to use the Site after having been informed of our use of cookies (including through the cookie consent banner or notice on the Site), you consent to the use of cookies as described in this Policy, except where your consent is not required for strictly necessary cookies or where you have disabled or refused non-essential cookies through your browser settings or our consent tool. If you do not agree to the use of cookies as described herein, you should adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies or discontinue use of the Site. Please note that blocking certain cookies may affect the functionality and your experience of the Site.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, to improve user experience, to remember your preferences and settings, and to provide website owners with information about how visitors use their sites. Cookies typically contain a unique identifier (a string of letters and numbers), the name of the domain that set the cookie, and sometimes additional information such as an expiration date. When you return to a website, the cookie allows the site to recognize your device and recall your preferences or previous activity.

Cookies can be classified in several ways. By duration, they may be "session" cookies (temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (cookies that remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them). By origin, they may be "first-party" cookies (set by us when you visit the Site) or "third-party" cookies (set by a domain other than spyxaronstaphis.world, such as a third-party analytics or mapping provider whose content is embedded on our pages). By purpose, they may be strictly necessary, functional, performance or analytics, or targeting or advertising cookies, as further described below.

In addition to cookies, we or our service providers may use similar technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage, or session storage. These technologies may be used for similar purposes as cookies (e.g., to recognize your device or to store preferences). References in this Policy to "cookies" include these similar technologies where applicable.

Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to enable the Site to function correctly; to remember your choices and preferences (such as whether you have accepted our cookie banner so we do not show it again on subsequent visits); to understand how visitors use the Site (e.g., which pages are most frequently viewed when researching shrub trimming or tree care services) so we can improve the content, layout, and user experience; to ensure the security and integrity of the Site and to prevent fraud or abuse; to comply with legal or contractual obligations; and, where we use them and where required by law, to deliver or measure relevant content or advertising. We do not use cookies to track you across third-party websites for advertising purposes without your consent where such consent is required by applicable law.

Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Site to function. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, access to secure areas (if any), form submission (e.g., the contact form for requesting a quote for shrub trimming or tree care), and the display of the cookie consent banner or your consent preference. The Site cannot operate properly without these cookies. They do not store personally identifiable information in a way that identifies you for marketing purposes and typically cannot be disabled through our Site settings; however, you may be able to block them through your browser settings (doing so may impair Site functionality).

Functional Cookies

These cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make (such as your acceptance of our Cookies Policy, language preference, or region) and to provide enhanced, more personalized features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages (e.g., embedded maps). The information these cookies collect may include personally identifiable information that you have disclosed (e.g., if a preference is linked to your email). You can control or delete functional cookies through your browser settings; blocking them may mean that some features of the Site do not work as intended.

Performance or Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use the Site, such as which pages are visited most often, whether visitors receive error messages, and how they navigate between pages. The data collected is typically aggregated and anonymous and is used to improve how the Site works and how we present information about our shrub trimming and tree care services. We may use first-party or third-party analytics tools; such tools may set their own cookies subject to their respective privacy and cookie policies. You can typically opt out of analytics cookies through your browser settings or through any opt-out mechanism offered by the specific analytics provider.

Targeting or Advertising Cookies

These cookies may be used to build a profile of your interests and to deliver relevant advertising on our Site or on other sites you visit. They may be set by us or by our advertising partners. We do not currently use targeting or advertising cookies on the Site; if we do so in the future, we will update this Policy and, where required by law, obtain your consent before setting or allowing such cookies. You may be able to opt out of interest-based advertising through industry opt-out tools (e.g., the Digital Advertising Alliance or Network Advertising Initiative) or through your device or browser settings.

Cookie Duration and Expiry

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period, which may range from a few minutes to several years depending on the cookie and its purpose. For example, a cookie that remembers your consent to our Cookies Policy may be set to expire after 12 months so that we will ask for your consent again after that period. We will retain cookie data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy or as required by law. You can delete persistent cookies at any time through your browser settings.

Managing and Deleting Cookies

You can control and manage cookies in several ways. Most web browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies through their settings or preferences. The method for doing so varies by browser; typically you can find these options under "Settings," "Privacy," "Options," or "Tools." You may be able to block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or delete existing cookies. Blocking or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of the Site and your user experience (for example, you may need to re-enter information or the cookie consent banner may appear again). For detailed instructions on how to manage cookies in your browser, please refer to your browser's help section or the manufacturer's website (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).

If we offer a cookie preference center, consent management tool, or "opt-out" mechanism on the Site, you can use it to adjust your preferences for non-essential cookies (e.g., to accept or reject functional or analytics cookies). Withdrawing your consent or changing your preferences does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. You may need to renew your preferences if you clear your cookies or use a different device or browser.

On mobile devices, you may also be able to limit interest-based advertising or reset your advertising identifier through your device settings (e.g., "Limit Ad Tracking" on iOS or "Opt out of Ads Personalization" on Android).

Third-Party Cookies and Embedded Content

Some pages on the Site may include embedded content (e.g., maps, videos, or other content from third parties). That content may set its own cookies, which are "third-party" cookies. We do not control the placement or use of cookies by these third parties. Third-party cookies are subject to the respective third party's privacy and cookie policies. For example, if we embed a map from a mapping service, that service may set cookies to remember your preferences or to provide its functionality; we encourage you to review that service's policy. We do not endorse or assume responsibility for the cookie practices of third parties.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal that indicates your preference not to be tracked across websites. There is no universally accepted standard for how sites should respond to DNT signals. We currently do not respond to DNT signals in a specific way; we continue to use cookies as described in this Policy. If your jurisdiction recognizes a different mechanism for signaling privacy preferences (such as the Global Privacy Control), we will consider such signals in accordance with applicable law and our technical capabilities.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the technologies we use, or legal or regulatory requirements. We will post the updated Policy on this page and update the effective date. For material changes that affect how we use cookies (e.g., the introduction of targeting or advertising cookies), we may provide additional notice or seek your consent again where required by law. Your continued use of the Site after the effective date of the revised Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy, except where further consent is required by law. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically.
