Your Privacy Choices
This Cookie Policy explains how The Roofing Tool Box LLC uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at theroofingtoolbox.com. It supplements our Privacy Policy and provides additional detail about the specific technologies we use, why we use them, and how you can control them.

1 What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners. Cookies can be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).

Similar technologies include web beacons (tiny invisible images embedded in pages or emails), pixel tags, local storage, and JavaScript — all of which can store or retrieve information from your device in a similar way to cookies. We refer to all of these collectively as "cookies" in this Policy.

2 What We Use Cookies For

We use cookies on our website for the following purposes:

  • Essential operation — keeping you logged in, remembering your session, and ensuring the website functions correctly.
  • Analytics — understanding how visitors interact with our website so we can improve it.
  • Advertising — measuring the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and serving ads about our Services to people who have visited our site.
  • Preferences — remembering your cookie consent choice so we do not ask you again on every visit.

We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal information such as health data, financial details, or government ID numbers.

3 Cookie Types We Use

Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they are required for the website and platform to function. All other cookies are only placed after you give consent via our cookie banner.

4 Third-Party Services

Some cookies on our website are placed by third-party services we use. These third parties may have access to the information stored in their cookies. We use the following third-party cookie-setting services:

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to analyze website traffic and user behavior. Google may use this data in accordance with its own privacy policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Google Ads

We use Google Ads to run advertising campaigns and track conversions. Google Ads cookies allow us to measure how effective our ads are and to show our ads to people who have previously visited our website. Google's use of advertising cookies is governed by Google's advertising policies.

Google Firebase

We use Google Firebase for application performance monitoring and analytics. Firebase may set cookies or use local storage to support these functions. Firebase's data use is governed by Google's Firebase Privacy Policy.

We may add, change, or remove third-party services from time to time. When we do, this Cookie Policy will be updated to reflect those changes.

5 Your Choices and How to Control Cookies

Our Cookie Banner

When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner appears. You can click Accept All to consent to all cookies, or Decline to allow only essential cookies. If you decline, Google Analytics and Google Ads cookies are never placed on your device.

You can change your preference at any time by clicking "Your Privacy Choices" in the footer of any page on our website. This will reopen the cookie banner so you can update your selection.

Browser Settings

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:

  • View what cookies are stored on your device and delete them individually.
  • Block third-party cookies.
  • Block all cookies from specific sites.
  • Block all cookies entirely (note: this will break essential platform functionality).

Browser-specific instructions:

  • Google Chrome
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Safari (iOS)
  • Microsoft Edge

Opt Out of Google Analytics

You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. This works across all websites using Google Analytics, not just ours.

Opt Out of Google Ads Personalization

You can opt out of personalized Google Ads at Google Ad Settings or via the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out tool.

6 Global Privacy Control (GPC)

California Residents: We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. If your browser or browser extension has GPC enabled, our website will automatically treat your visit as a cookie decline for advertising and analytics purposes — no banner will appear and no tracking cookies will be set. This satisfies your right to opt out of the "sharing" of personal information under the CCPA/CPRA.

GPC is a browser-level setting you can enable through privacy-focused browsers like Brave or Firefox, or through browser extensions. Learn more at globalprivacycontrol.org.

7 Do Not Track

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing not be tracked. Unlike the Global Privacy Control (GPC), there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. We currently do not alter our cookie practices in response to DNT signals. We do, however, honor GPC signals as described in Section 6.

8 Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Your continued use of our website after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
