For purposes of this Policy, “cookies” refers to small text files placed on your browser or device, as well as related technologies such as pixels, tags, web beacons, local storage, software development kits, and similar tools. These technologies may collect information about your device, browser, usage activity, preferences, approximate location, and interactions with our website.
This Policy applies to digital properties operated by or on behalf of SummitShield Roofing. It does not apply to third-party websites, platforms, or services that we do not control, even if they are linked from our website or display our content.

Some cookies are placed directly by us, while others may be placed by service providers or third parties that support analytics, advertising, measurement, security, customer communication, or embedded website functionality.

3. What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are
Cookies are small files stored on your browser or device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognize a browser or device, remember certain information, and support specific features. Cookies can be temporary or persistent. Session cookies usually expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a set period or until you delete them.
Similar technologies may work alongside or instead of cookies. For example, pixels and web beacons can help determine whether a page was viewed or an email was opened. Local storage can store certain information in your browser. Device identifiers may help distinguish one device from another. Log files may record technical information such as IP address, browser type, operating system, referring pages, and date and time of access.
Cookies can be first-party or third-party. First-party cookies are generally set by the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies are set by a different domain, such as an analytics or advertising partner. Third-party providers may use information collected through cookies across websites and services, subject to their own policies and applicable law.
4. Cookie Categories We May Use
We may use the following categories of cookies and similar technologies on our website:
- Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are required for the website to function, support page navigation, load pages correctly, maintain security, prevent fraud, enable form submissions, and provide requested services. Without these cookies, certain website features may not work.
- Functional cookies: These cookies help remember choices you make, such as form inputs, language or display preferences, region settings, or other customizations that improve your experience.
- Analytics and performance cookies: These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website, which pages are visited, how long users remain on pages, what content is useful, and whether users encounter errors. We use this information to improve website performance, content, navigation, and user experience.
- Advertising and targeting cookies: These cookies may be used to deliver or measure advertising, understand the effectiveness of marketing campaigns, limit repeated ad displays, and help present more relevant content. They may be placed by third-party advertising networks or platforms.
- Security cookies: These cookies help protect our website, forms, systems, and users by detecting suspicious activity, preventing abuse, supporting authentication where applicable, and reducing spam or automated submissions.
- Social media and embedded content cookies: These cookies may be set when our website includes embedded maps, videos, social media buttons, review widgets, scheduling tools, or other third-party features. These providers may collect information about your interaction with their content.
The specific cookies used on our website may change over time as we update our services, technology providers, or website features.
5. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for several business and operational purposes. These purposes include enabling core website functionality, securing the website, allowing users to submit inquiries, measuring performance, improving our content, remembering preferences, and evaluating the effectiveness of outreach or advertising.
For example, cookies may help us determine whether visitors can successfully submit a roofing consultation request, identify which pages about roof repair or replacement are most helpful, understand whether visitors reach us from search engines or advertisements, and troubleshoot technical issues. Cookies may also help us reduce spam in forms and maintain the reliability of our site.
Where advertising or analytics cookies are used, they may help us understand general patterns in website traffic and marketing performance. This may include information about referring websites, approximate location based on IP address, device type, browser type, pages viewed, and interactions with website features. We do not use cookies to make decisions about eligibility for insurance, credit, employment, or similar regulated determinations.
6. Information Collected Through Cookies
Depending on your browser settings, device settings, and the website features you use, cookies may collect or process information such as IP address, device identifiers, browser type, operating system, general location, referring URL, pages visited, links clicked, form interactions, timestamps, session duration, and advertising or analytics identifiers.
If you submit information through a contact form, request an estimate, call us through a website feature, or otherwise communicate with us, cookies and related technologies may be associated with your interaction to help us respond, measure conversions, prevent duplicate submissions, or improve service. The information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, phone number, property address, service needs, or message content, is governed by our Privacy Policy in addition to this Cookie Policy.
Some data collected through cookies may be considered “personal information” under certain U.S. privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, commonly referred to as the CCPA, if it identifies, relates to, describes, can reasonably be associated with, or could reasonably be linked with a particular consumer or household. We handle such information in accordance with applicable law and our privacy disclosures.
7. Third-Party Cookies and Service Providers
We may allow service providers, contractors, analytics providers, advertising partners, map providers, video platforms, review platforms, scheduling tools, customer relationship management tools, or security vendors to place or access cookies and similar technologies on our website. These third parties may process information on our behalf or, in some cases, for their own purposes as described in their privacy and cookie policies.
Third-party providers may help us with website hosting, site security, spam prevention, analytics, performance monitoring, advertising measurement, call tracking, form management, appointment scheduling, embedded content, or customer communications. These technologies may collect information about your use of our website and, depending on the provider, may combine it with information collected from other websites or services.
We do not control all third-party cookie practices. You should review the privacy and cookie policies of third-party providers for more information about their practices and available controls. Your browser, device, and certain industry opt-out tools may also provide ways to limit some third-party tracking.
8. Your Cookie Choices
You have several ways to manage cookies. Most browsers allow you to block, delete, or limit cookies through browser settings. You can usually configure your browser to notify you when cookies are being set, reject certain cookies, delete existing cookies, or block third-party cookies. The exact controls depend on your browser and device.
If you block or delete cookies, parts of our website may not function as intended. For example, forms may not submit properly, preferences may not be remembered, security features may be affected, or certain embedded tools may not load. Blocking advertising or analytics cookies should not generally prevent basic access to our website, but it may limit our ability to improve and measure website performance.
Your mobile device may also allow you to limit advertising identifiers or reset device identifiers. Some advertising providers participate in industry opt-out programs that allow users to opt out of certain interest-based advertising. These opt-outs are typically browser-specific or device-specific, so you may need to apply them separately on each browser and device you use.
If our website offers a cookie banner, preference center, or similar tool, you may use it to manage certain categories of cookies where available. Strictly necessary cookies may remain active because they are needed to operate the website and provide requested services.
9. U.S. State Privacy Rights and CCPA Notice
Depending on where you live, U.S. state privacy laws may provide rights related to personal information collected through cookies and similar technologies. For California residents, the CCPA may provide the right to know, access, delete, correct, and limit certain uses of personal information, as well as the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information as those terms are defined under the CCPA.
Certain advertising or analytics cookies may be considered “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising or a “sale” under the CCPA or similar state laws, even where no money is exchanged. If we engage in such practices and are subject to these laws, we will provide legally required notices and choices, which may include an opt-out mechanism or a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” option where applicable.
We do not knowingly sell or share personal information of consumers under 16 years of age. Our services are intended for homeowners, property managers, commercial property representatives, and other adults seeking roofing-related services or information. If you believe a minor has provided information to us, please contact us at hello@summitshieldroofing.com.
To exercise applicable privacy rights, contact us at hello@summitshieldroofing.com. We may need to verify your request before responding. Authorized agents may submit requests where permitted by law, but we may require proof of authorization and verification of the consumer’s identity.
10. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Signals
Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is not a uniform industry standard for responding to Do Not Track signals, our website may not respond to all such signals in the same way. However, we may recognize legally required browser-based opt-out preference signals where applicable, such as Global Privacy Control, if required by applicable U.S. state privacy law and if our website technology is configured to process such signals.
If a recognized opt-out preference signal is detected, it may apply to the browser or device from which the signal is sent and may affect certain cookies used for targeted advertising or sale or sharing as defined by applicable law. Because these signals are browser-based, you may need to enable them separately for each browser and device you use.
Even when an opt-out signal is honored, strictly necessary cookies and certain operational, security, measurement, or service-related technologies may continue to function as permitted by law. We may also continue to process information for purposes such as fraud prevention, security, compliance, debugging, service delivery, and responding to your requests.
11. Retention and Updates to This Policy
Cookies remain on your device for different periods depending on their purpose and configuration. Session cookies usually expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies may remain until they expire or until you delete them. Analytics, advertising, and functional cookies may have retention periods determined by us or by third-party providers.
We retain information collected through cookies for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including website operation, analytics, security, legal compliance, dispute resolution, business records, and service improvement. Retention periods may vary based on the type of information, the context of collection, legal requirements, and operational needs.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our website, technologies, service providers, legal obligations, or business practices. When we make changes, we will update the effective date. Your continued use of our website after an updated Policy is posted indicates that you have had an opportunity to review the updated terms.

We will respond to privacy-related requests in accordance with applicable U.S. privacy laws.
