Classify.

What categories of cookies do we place on your browser?

We divide all browser storage into three precise functional categories. We never classify marketing pixels or attribution trackers as "functional" or "strictly necessary":

Strictly Necessary: Essential keys that keep the agency website running securely. These manage anti-forgery tokens on inquiry forms, store your direct care chat session token so you can continue a coordinator conversation, and record your consent status. These cannot be disabled through our banner without breaking basic form submission.
Analytics Storage: Aggregated measurement tools that count page visits, evaluate navigation pathways across our six care tiers, and identify device viewport resolutions. These help us fix broken links and assess server load across Oregon City and Portland.
Advertising Identifiers: Marketing tokens and campaign query handlers tied to paid search listings. These record whether a click on our commercial ads resulted in a care consultation inquiry, allowing our agency to manage search engine campaign costs.

We store no authentication credentials, no passwords, and no banking data: no credit card numbers or payment records ever touch this website.

Tabulate.

Which specific cookies and storage keys are in active use?

Every active cookie, local storage key, and session record used across caringcompanioncaregivers.us is itemized in the audited table below:

Identifier / Key	Provider & Origin	Operational Purpose	Lifespan
`site_consent_v2`	First-party (caringcompanioncaregivers.us)	Records whether you accepted or declined advertising and analytics storage.	12 months
`ccc_chat_token`	First-party (caringcompanioncaregivers.us)	Maintains your live support chat session token with our care coordinator.	Session / 12 months
`_ga`, `_ga_*`	Google Analytics (Google LLC)	Aggregated usage metrics, session counts, and pageview duration. Held denied until consent is given.	2 years (if granted)

`_uetsid`, `_uetvid`	Microsoft Advertising	Tracks search advertising conversion events from Bing campaigns. Held denied until consent is given.	Session / 13 months

How do search and social advertising platforms track referrals?

Our agency runs active paid advertising on search engines and social platforms to connect with families seeking home care assistance. Specifically, google ads, Microsoft Advertising, and Meta Ads drive inquiries to this website. Nothing on this website states, implies, or claims that an advertising platform has reviewed or approved this website.

When you click on one of our sponsored advertisements, the destination URL receives a unique click identifier:

gclid: Appended by Google Ads to verify campaign engagement and conversion rates.
msclkid: Appended by Microsoft Advertising to connect referrals from Bing and partner networks.
fbclid: Appended by Meta Ads for traffic originating from Facebook or Instagram care listings.

These tokens are temporarily read by our consultation scripts to evaluate which advertising channels successfully connect local families with our Oregon City care team.

Block.

How does Consent Mode v2 protect your privacy by default?

We enforce Google consent mode v2 across every page of this website. Under Consent Mode v2, four core telemetry parameters are held in a strictly denied state immediately upon page load:

Signal Parameter	Default Initial State	State Upon Visitor Refusal
`ad_storage`	Denied (no ad cookies written)	Denied (storage blocked)
`ad_user_data`	Denied (no user data sent to Google)	Denied (data transmission halted)
`ad_personalization`	Denied (no retargeting enabled)	Denied (personalization blocked)
`analytics_storage`	Denied (no telemetry cookies placed)	Denied (analytics tracking blocked)

These four signals update to granted only if you click "Accept" in our consent banner. If you click "Decline", dismiss the banner, or later toggle your consent to off, all four signals are immediately set back to denied.

Control.

Where and how can you change or revoke your consent?

When you first visit our site, our docked consent banner prompts you to either accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your preference is written to your browser under site_consent_v2.

You can revoke or modify this decision at any time. Clicking the button below immediately re-opens the consent banner, allowing you to switch between granted and denied:

Alternatively, you can clear site_consent_v2 in your browser's application cache, which causes our banner to reappear upon your next page view.

Refuse.

What happens if you decline cookies?

If you decline our cookie request, your browsing experience on caringcompanioncaregivers.us is completely unhindered:

What still works: You can view all care offerings, examine our transparent hourly pricing, read about our founders Gemma Ben Sunga and Andrea Gillam, run the interactive care cost calculator, submit consultation intake forms, and chat directly with care coordinators.
What stops: Third-party tracking scripts, cross-site advertising pixels, Google Ads conversion beacons, Microsoft Advertising tracking tags, and Meta remarketing pixels are completely blocked. No marketing identifiers are associated with your visit.

We apply no penalties, display no persistent obstructive overlays, and never degrade service access because you chose to protect your privacy.

Verify.

Where can you review third-party platform privacy statements?

The advertising and analytics networks that operate auxiliary tools on our site maintain their own statutory privacy disclosures and global opt-out registries:

Google LLC: Review Google's complete terms, advertising data handling, and analytics privacy policies at policies.google.com.
Microsoft Corporation: Review Microsoft Advertising policies and telemetry controls in the official Microsoft privacy statement at privacy.microsoft.com.
Meta Platforms, Inc.: Review Meta's consumer privacy terms, ad preferences, and cookie management tools at facebook.com/privacy/policy.

Caring Companion Caregivers maintains strictly commercial advertiser relationships with these networks. Nothing on this website implies that Google, Microsoft, or Meta has reviewed, approved, or endorsed our in-home care services.
