1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. They let a site remember a choice, work properly, and report how it is used. Browser storage (localStorage) does the same job for a few simple settings. This policy covers both, for HARDROCK Sand and Gravel’s website.
2. Cookies we use
| Name | Type | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
p1_ft | First-party cookie | Set on your first page view. Stores the page you landed on, the referring site, any campaign tags or Google Ads click ID in the link, a random session ID and a device type. It is attached to a form you submit so we can tell which page produced the request. Not used to show ads. | 30 days |
cookieBannerDismissed_v1 | Browser storage (localStorage) | Remembers that you closed the cookie notice so it does not appear again. | Until you clear site data |
_ga, _ga_* | Analytics (Google Analytics 4) | Counts visits and shows which pages are viewed, so we can see what is useful. Google Analytics 4 is switched on for this site once its measurement ID is configured; these cookies are not set before then. | Up to 2 years |
| Google Maps cookies | Third-party embed | Set by Google only on the Contact page, which shows an embedded map. They are subject to Google’s own policies. | Set by Google |
The p1_ft cookie is marked HTTP-only and Secure, so scripts on the page cannot read it, and it is sent only to this website.
3. Fonts and scripts
This site’s fonts are hosted on the site itself, so loading them does not contact Google Fonts or set cookies. We do not use advertising cookies, social-media tracking pixels or retargeting tags.
4. How to control cookies
Most browsers let you see, delete and block cookies, including third-party cookies. Look in your browser’s Settings under Privacy or Site Data. Blocking the p1_ft cookie does not stop the site or the forms from working. Blocking all cookies may break some features on other websites.
5. Opt out of Google Analytics
You can stop Google Analytics from measuring your visits on any site by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
6. Our cookie notice
A short notice appears when you scroll the page. Choosing “Got it” stores a flag in your browser (cookieBannerDismissed_v1) so the notice does not return. Clear this site’s data in your browser to see it again.
7. Changes to this policy
We update this policy when the cookies on the site change. The “Last Updated” date at the top shows the current version.
