What a cookie is, briefly
A cookie is a small piece of text that a website asks your browser to save. Next time you visit, the browser sends it back, so the site remembers you didn't just turn up for the first time. Cookies can hold things like your preferences, your session, or an identifier used to measure overall traffic.
On localmounting.online we use a small number of cookies, and we use them only for the purposes described below.
The cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies
These are needed for the site to function — for example, to remember a security token if you submit our contact form. They're set automatically and can't be turned off without breaking site functionality. They don't track you across other sites.
Analytics cookies
We use a privacy-respecting analytics provider to understand how people use the site at a population level — which pages get visited, which pages people leave from, how long it takes to load on typical connections. The data is aggregated; we don't identify individual visitors. If you'd rather not contribute to that data, you can disable analytics in your browser settings or via the controls described below.
Functional cookies
If you've used our contact form, your browser may store a small token to prefill your name on a follow-up visit. These cookies make the site nicer to use but aren't strictly necessary; they expire after 30 days of inactivity.
What we don't do
We don't use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, social media trackers, or any other technology designed to follow you across other websites. If you visit our site once and decide we're not for you, you won't see Local Mounting Co. ads following you around the internet — because we don't run that kind of advertising.
Third-party cookies
Our analytics provider sets a small number of first-party cookies as described above. Beyond that, we don't intentionally set or load third-party cookies on the public pages of this site. If we add a third-party service later — for example, an embedded video or a chat widget — we'll update this page first and let you know.
How to control cookies
Every modern browser lets you view, block, or delete cookies. Some practical options:
- Block third-party cookies entirely in your browser's privacy settings.
- Delete cookies on a per-site basis when you close the browser.
- Use private/incognito browsing to skip persistent cookies entirely.
- Use a browser extension like uBlock Origin or Privacy Badger for finer control.
If you disable all cookies on our site, most things will still work — but our contact form may behave oddly, and we won't be able to remember any preferences between visits.
Do Not Track
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal with each request. Because the standard isn't consistently defined, our analytics provider treats DNT as a signal to skip detailed measurement but does not block strictly necessary cookies (which are required for the site to function).
Updates to this policy
If we add or change cookies in a material way — for instance, by integrating a new tool that sets its own cookies — we'll update this page and revise the "Reviewed" date at the top. We re-read this policy every six months to make sure it still matches what the site actually does.
Contact
If you have questions about cookies on our site, or if you spot one we haven't described here, please tell us at hello@localmounting.online. We treat this kind of question as feedback we're glad to receive — it usually means we missed something we should fix.
