Cookie Control

Last updated: January 2026

This page explains how our website uses cookies and what control you have over them. We've kept this simple because our cookie usage is minimal — we're a cleaning company, not a data collection operation.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your browser when you visit them. They serve various purposes — some are essential for websites to function, others help site owners understand how visitors use their sites, and some are used for advertising.

Think of cookies like a coat check ticket. When you drop off your coat, you get a ticket that lets the staff find it later. Similarly, cookies let a website remember things about your visit — like whether you've seen a notification or filled out a form.

Types of Cookies We Use

Our website uses only two categories of cookies:

1. Essential Cookies (Always Active)

These cookies are necessary for our website to function properly. They enable basic features like:

  • Making the contact form work correctly
  • Remembering your cookie preference choice
  • Ensuring the site loads consistently across visits

Essential cookies cannot be disabled because the website wouldn't work properly without them. They do not collect any personally identifiable information, and they are not used for tracking or advertising.

2. Analytics Cookies (Optional)

We use anonymized analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. This helps us know which pages are useful, where people get stuck, and how we can improve the site. The analytics data we collect includes:

  • Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • How visitors arrived at our site (search engine, direct, referral)
  • General geographic region (city level, not precise location)
  • Device type and browser information

Importantly, this data is anonymized and aggregated. We cannot identify individual visitors from analytics data. IP addresses are anonymized before processing, meaning we can't trace activity back to a specific person or household.

What We Don't Use

We want to be explicit about what we don't do:

  • No marketing cookies. We don't track you across the internet to show you ads.
  • No third-party advertising cookies. We don't sell ad space on our site, and we don't participate in ad networks.
  • No social media trackers. We don't have social media sharing buttons that track your browsing behavior.
  • No fingerprinting. We don't use advanced techniques to identify your device across sessions.
  • No data selling. Analytics data stays with us and is not shared, sold, or transferred to third parties.

How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences

When you first visit our site, you'll see a cookie banner at the bottom of the page. You have two options:

  • Accept — This allows both essential and analytics cookies.
  • Decline — This allows only essential cookies. Analytics cookies will not be placed.

Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage and remembered for future visits. You won't see the banner again unless you clear your browser data.

Changing Your Mind

If you previously accepted analytics cookies and want to change your preference, you can clear your browser's local storage for apexofficeclean.us. Here's how in most browsers:

  • Open your browser's developer tools (F12 or right-click → Inspect)
  • Go to the Application or Storage tab
  • Find Local Storage in the sidebar
  • Look for entries related to apexofficeclean.us
  • Delete the 'cookies_accepted' or 'cookies_declined' entries
  • Refresh the page — the banner will reappear

Alternatively, you can clear all cookies and site data for our domain through your browser's settings. The exact steps vary by browser — check your browser's help documentation for specific instructions.

Browser-Level Controls

You can also manage cookies at the browser level. All major browsers allow you to:

  • Block all cookies from all websites
  • Block only third-party cookies
  • Delete existing cookies
  • Set cookie preferences on a per-site basis

Keep in mind that blocking essential cookies may cause some website features to stop working. The contact form, for example, relies on essential cookies to function properly.

Google Analytics 4

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) for website analytics. GA4 is configured with the following privacy-focused settings:

  • IP addresses are anonymized before storage or processing
  • Data retention is set to the minimum period allowed
  • We do not enable advertising features or remarketing
  • We do not share analytics data with other Google services
  • We do not use User ID tracking to identify individuals across sessions

Google's processing of analytics data is governed by their data processing terms. You can learn more about how Google handles data in GA4 through Google's Analytics Help Center.

What Happens If You Decline Analytics

If you choose to decline analytics cookies, the website will continue to function normally. You'll still be able to browse all pages, read all content, and submit the contact form. The only difference is that we won't collect anonymized data about your visit.

This means our understanding of site usage will be slightly less complete, but we respect your choice. We built this site to be useful regardless of your cookie preferences.

Cookie Duration

Essential cookies set by our site remain active until you clear your browser data. Analytics cookies set by Google Analytics typically expire after the minimum retention period configured in our GA4 settings (generally 2 months for standard reports).
