1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website places in your browser when you visit. They are stored on your device and can be read by the site on subsequent visits. Cookies serve different purposes depending on who sets them and why. Some cookies are essential for a site to function. Others track behavior across sessions for analytics or advertising purposes.

This policy explains exactly which cookies sfmarketing.agency sets, who sets them, what they do, and how long they last. We have written this policy to be specific and honest, not to justify uses we do not actually have.

2. Summary: What This Site Does and Does Not Do

sfmarketing.agency uses Google Analytics 4 for aggregate page measurement and Meta Pixel for page-view and lead-event measurement. We do not run Google Ads remarketing, LinkedIn Insight Tag, Hotjar, Mixpanel, Segment, or session-recording tools on this site.

The site may set Cloudflare security cookies, Google Analytics cookies or storage, and Meta cookies or browser storage through the Meta Pixel. Cloudflare cookies support secure delivery. Google Analytics supports aggregate page measurement. Meta cookies support page-view and lead-event measurement.

3. Cloudflare Security Cookies

This site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages and delivered via Cloudflare's CDN. As part of Cloudflare's standard security and performance infrastructure, Cloudflare may set the following cookies in your browser:

Cookie Name Purpose Duration Type

These cookies are set by Cloudflare's infrastructure, not by Stan Consulting LLC directly. They are essential security cookies. We have no mechanism to disable them without removing Cloudflare's security protections from the site entirely. They contain no personally identifiable information. They are not used for advertising or behavioral profiling.

For complete information on how Cloudflare uses these cookies, see Cloudflare's Cookie Policy at cloudflare.com/cookie-policy/ and their Privacy Policy at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.

4. Advertising and Measurement Cookies

This site uses Google Analytics 4 measurement ID `G-EYBKTX0QS6` for aggregate page measurement and Meta Pixel `221791886157180` to measure page views and lead events. Google and Meta may use cookies or browser storage for measurement if your browser allows it.

We do not run Google Ads conversion tracking, LinkedIn Insight Tag, Twitter/X Pixel, demand-side platform tags, session recording, or heatmap tools on this site.

5. Analytics and Usage Measurement

Traffic data is collected at the infrastructure level by Cloudflare. Cloudflare provides aggreoffer page view counts, referrer data, and country-level visitor data as part of its hosting analytics.

Meta Pixel also records page-view and lead events in the browser. We use Google Analytics 4 as described above, and we do not use Hotjar, Mixpanel, Amplitude, Heap, FullStory, or session replay tools.

6. No Persistent First-Party Cookies

This site does not set any persistent first-party cookies. We do not use cookies to remember your preferences between visits, maintain a logged-in session, or track your return visits. There is no login system, no user account system, and no personalization layer on this site.

7. Google Fonts

This site loads web font files (Inter, Fraunces, JetBrains Mono) from Google's font CDN at fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com. When your browser loads a page on this site, it makes HTTP requests to Google's servers to download these font files.

Google's servers may log these requests in their standard server logs, which could include your IP address, browser type, and the page that made the request. Google may set cookies as part of this process per their standard privacy and security practices. These are functional cookies related to font delivery, not advertising or tracking cookies.

If you prefer not to have any data transmitted to Google in connection with font loading, you can use a browser extension that blocks Google Fonts requests, or configure your browser to block requests to fonts.googleapis.com.

8. Your Cookie Choices

Because this site uses Meta Pixel, visitors who block third-party cookies or Meta domains may prevent that measurement from running. We do not display a preference center on this static site. You can block or delete cookies using your browser settings.

You can control cookies using your browser's built-in settings. Most browsers allow you to block all cookies, delete existing cookies, or block cookies from specific domains. If you block Cloudflare's security cookies, the site may not function correctly or Cloudflare's bot protection may repeatedly challenge your browser. Instructions for managing cookies in common browsers:

9. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal that can be sent with web requests to indicate a preference that sites not track behavior. This static site does not modify behavior based on Do Not Track signals. Browser-level blocking of Meta, third-party cookies, or tracking protection may prevent Meta Pixel from loading.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy if our use of cookies changes. If tracking or cookie use changes, we update this policy and reassess whether consent mechanisms are required. The effective date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
