What a cookie is
A cookie is a small file a website asks your browser to keep, so that it can recognize the same browser again later. Some are essential to making a site work. Others, like the ones here, are used to count visitors. You can block or delete any of them, and “How to turn cookies off” below explains how.
The cookies this site sets
Google Analytics is the only thing on this website that sets a cookie. It tells us how many people visit, which pages they read, and roughly where in the world they are. That is how we know what people use the site for.
- _ga
- Set by Google Analytics to tell one browser from another, so two visits from the same browser count as one person. Expires two years after your most recent visit.
- _ga_2SCSGV3MHH
- Set by Google Analytics to keep track of a single visit: where you arrived, and which pages you read before you left. Expires two years after your most recent visit.
Google can change these cookies without telling us. The authoritative list is in Google’s privacy and terms and in its Analytics cookie usage documentation.
Measurement that sets no cookies
We also use two tools from Vercel, which hosts this website. Neither sets a cookie, and neither follows you to any other site:
- Vercel Web Analytics counts page views in aggregate, without cookies and without building a profile of you.
- Vercel Speed Insights records how long pages took to load for real visitors, so we can find and fix the slow ones.
The map on our contact page
Our Contact page embeds a Google map so you can see where the showroom is. Loading that page loads content from Google, and Google may set its own cookies when it does. No other page on this site loads a map. If you would rather not load it, the full address and a plain directions link are on the same page and work without it.
Why there is no cookie banner
Nothing on this site advertises to you, profiles you, or follows you to other sites. The rules that apply to a Dallas supplier serving the Dallas–Fort Worth area ask us to tell you plainly what we set, and to give you a way to refuse it. This page does both. If the site ever starts doing more, this page will change first.
How to turn cookies off
Any of the first three stops Google Analytics from measuring your visit. None of them stops the site from working: nothing here depends on a cookie.
- Google’s own opt-out. Google publishes a browser add-on that switches Google Analytics off on every website you visit, not just this one.
- Your browser’s settings. Every major browser can block cookies for a site, or for all sites. Look under Privacy in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge. Blocking only third-party cookies is not enough here: Google Analytics sets its cookie as this site.
- Global Privacy Control. Some browsers and extensions can send an automatic signal asking every site you visit not to sell or share your information. We do neither, and when your browser sends the signal, this site switches Google Analytics off: it sets no cookie and sends nothing.
- Private or incognito browsing discards the cookie when you close the window. Your visit is still counted, but it cannot be linked to your next one.
