Cookie Policy | Plumbing Outfitters

This Cookie Policy explains how Plumbing Outfitters ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. Please read this together with our Privacy Policy, which describes the categories of personal information we handle more broadly.

What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your browser. They let a site remember your preferences, keep you signed in, measure how the site is used, and — if you allow it — help advertising work. Some cookies come from us ("first-party") and some come from services we embed, like Google's tag manager ("third-party").

Categories of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary (Always On)

These cookies are required for the site to work: they remember your cookie choice, protect against basic security threats, and let core features run. They cannot be turned off in our banner.

po_consent — records your cookie choice (accepted or rejected). Stored for 180 days.

Analytics (Only If You Accept)

If you accept, we may use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve pages, fix broken paths, and tune performance. These cookies do not personally identify you.

_ga, _ga_<ID> — Google Analytics client and session identifiers.

Advertising & Personalization (Only If You Accept)

If you accept, cookies may be set to measure the effectiveness of ads we run on Google and other platforms. We do not sell your personal information.

Google Consent Mode v2

Before you make a choice, our site sets the following defaults through Google Consent Mode v2:

ad_storage — denied
ad_user_data — denied
ad_personalization — denied
analytics_storage — denied
functionality_storage — granted
security_storage — granted

When you tap Accept all cookies in the banner, we update ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization, and analytics_storage to granted. When you tap Reject non-essential, they remain denied — but the site still works and the banner will not reappear on future visits.

Changing Your Choice

You can change your choice at any time by clearing the po_consent cookie in your browser settings — the banner will re-appear on your next visit and you can choose again. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser's privacy settings; the major browsers each publish instructions:

Do Not Track & Global Privacy Control

Some browsers transmit a "Do Not Track" (DNT) or "Global Privacy Control" (GPC) signal. Because there is not yet a consistent industry standard for these signals, we currently honor your explicit choice in our cookie banner over the DNT/GPC signal. We will update this policy as the standard evolves.
