What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website saves in your browser. Similar “local storage” lets a page remember something on your own device.
Cookies we use
We keep this short on purpose. We use no advertising or social-media tracking cookies.
| Name | Set by | Purpose | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Tells visits apart so we can count visitors. | Up to 2 years |
| _ga_4SW3CMFGDS | Google Analytics | Keeps track of a visit (session) for our analytics. | Up to 2 years |
| wordpress_*, wp-settings-* | This website | Keeps our own staff signed in to manage the site. Regular visitors don’t get these. | Session to 1 year |
| mvcs-last, mvwf-last, mvrr-last, mvsl-last, mvbiz-last | This website (stored on your device) | Remembers your most recent free-checkup result so you can see it again. Never sent to us. | Until you clear it |
Outside services
Maps on our About and Service Areas pages load images from OpenStreetMap and map software from Cloudflare’s cdnjs service. These don’t set cookies through our site, but they do receive your IP address when the map loads. See our Privacy Policy for more.
Why there’s no cookie pop-up
We only use analytics cookies to improve our website, and we don’t sell your data or use it for advertising. Under the laws that apply to a small local business like ours in Virginia, that doesn’t require a cookie consent banner. If we ever add advertising or tracking cookies, we’ll ask for your consent first.
How to control cookies
- Block or delete cookies in your browser settings (look for “Privacy” or “Cookies”). The website will still work.
- Install Google’s Google Analytics opt-out add-on.
- Turn on your browser’s “Do Not Track” or Global Privacy Control setting. We don’t sell or share data for advertising either way.
