--- title: "Cookie Policy | Hoffman Water" description: "What hoffmanwater.com stores on your device: two Google Analytics cookies, no advertising or cross-site trackers, and how to switch them off." canonical: https://www.hoffmanwater.com/cookie-policy.html site: Hoffman Water LLC --- Hoffman Water · Industrial Water Treatment # Cookie Policy What this site stores on your device, what each item does, and how to switch it off. Short version: one analytics tool, no advertising trackers, nothing sold. Last updated: August 13, 2026 This policy explains the cookies and similar storage used on hoffmanwater.com, operated by Hoffman Water LLC. It sits alongside our [Privacy Policy](https://www.hoffmanwater.com/privacy-policy.html), which covers everything else we do with personal information. ### The short version We run Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages get read. That is the only non-essential cookie set here. We run no advertising pixels, no retargeting tags, and no cross-site trackers, and we do not sell or share what we collect. ## What a cookie is A cookie is a small text file a site asks your browser to keep. It lets the site recognise the same browser on a later page or a later visit. Related technologies, such as `localStorage` and pixels, do much the same job, and this policy covers those too. ## What this site sets The site itself sets no cookies to run. Nothing here needs an account, a shopping basket, or a login, so there is no session cookie. The cookies below come from Google Analytics. | Cookie | Set by | What it does | How long it lasts | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | _ga | Google Analytics 4 | Assigns a random ID to your browser so repeat visits are counted as one visitor rather than several. | 2 years | | _ga_G7QRHX9LDD | Google Analytics 4 | Holds the state of your current visit for this specific property: when the session started and which pages it covered. | 2 years | These are analytics cookies, not essential ones. The site works normally with them blocked. We use what they report to see which services people read about and where the site is confusing, nothing more. ## What this site does not do - No advertising or retargeting pixels, from Google, Meta, LinkedIn, or anyone else - No cross-site tracking, data brokers, or audience sharing - No selling or renting of personal information - No fingerprinting or attempt to identify you personally through analytics - No affiliate tracking — see the [Disclosures](https://www.hoffmanwater.com/terms.html#disclosures) section of our Terms ## Turning cookies off You can refuse or delete these cookies at any time, and nothing on the site will break. - **In your browser.** Every major browser can block or clear cookies for a single site. Look under Settings for Privacy, Cookies, or Site data. - **Google's own opt-out.** Google publishes a browser add-on that switches off Google Analytics everywhere: [tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout](https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout). - **Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control.** If your browser sends either signal, we treat it as an objection to analytics. ## Visitors in the EU, UK, and California Hoffman Water serves industrial and commercial facilities in Ohio and the bordering states, so visitors from the EU and UK are rare. We have not put a consent banner on the site for that reason. If you are in the EU or UK and would rather these analytics cookies had not been set, block them using any of the methods above and email us; we will confirm removal of anything already collected that relates to you. Under GDPR you may ask what we hold, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, and object to analytics entirely. Under the CCPA and CPRA, California residents have comparable rights, and we confirm again that we do not sell or share personal information. If our traffic pattern changes, we will add a proper consent banner that blocks analytics until you agree, rather than relying on disclosure alone. Requests under any of these laws go to the address below. ## Changes to this policy If we add or remove a cookie, this page changes with it and the "Last updated" date moves. Adding anything that tracks you across other sites would mean asking for consent first. ## Contact Us Questions about cookies, or a request about your data: **Hoffman Water LLC** 201 W Reynolds St, Urbana, OH 43078 Phone: [(937) 508-8739](tel:+19375088739) Email: [doug.hoffman@hoffmanwater.com](mailto:doug.hoffman@hoffmanwater.com)
