We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Website, understand how visitors use it, measure the effectiveness of our marketing, and improve your experience.
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your computer, phone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website.
Cookies allow a website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit. They can also help website operators understand how visitors interact with their websites and measure the effectiveness of advertising and other marketing activities.
We may also use technologies similar to cookies, including pixels, tags, scripts, and other tracking technologies.
2. How We Use Cookies
Depending on your choices and the technologies currently installed on our Website, we may use cookies for the following purposes:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the Website to function properly and cannot generally be disabled through our cookie consent tools.
They may support functions such as security, basic Website functionality, consent preferences, and other essential operations.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Website, including which pages are visited, how visitors navigate the Website, and how the Website performs.
We may use analytics technologies to identify trends and improve the Website and our services.
Advertising and Marketing Cookies
We may use advertising and marketing technologies, including Google Ads, to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and understand whether visitors who interact with our advertisements take actions on our Website.
Google Ads may use cookies and similar technologies to record information about interactions with advertisements and to measure conversions. For example, Google may use information associated with an ad click, including a Google Click Identifier (“GCLID”), to help attribute a conversion to an advertising interaction.
Depending on how our Google Ads services are configured and your consent choices, advertising technologies may also be used for remarketing, audience measurement, or personalized advertising.
We do not use advertising cookies for purposes unrelated to our legitimate business and marketing activities.
3. Google Ads
We use Google Ads, an advertising service provided by Google, to promote our services and measure the effectiveness of our advertising.
When you interact with one of our Google advertisements, Google Ads may use cookies or similar technologies to help determine whether you subsequently take an action on our Website, such as submitting an inquiry or contacting us.
Google states that its conversion tracking technology may set cookies on a website’s domain that contain information about an ad interaction or unique identifier associated with the ad click.
The specific cookies and technologies used by Google may change over time. For this reason, the cookie table displayed below is intended to provide the most current information detected by our cookie-management system.
For more information about Google’s use of cookies and advertising technologies, please review Google’s applicable privacy and advertising documentation.
4. Your Cookie Choices
Where consent is required, we will request your permission before using non-essential cookies and similar technologies.
You may accept or reject categories of cookies through our cookie consent mechanism. You may also change or withdraw your cookie preferences where our consent-management tools provide that functionality.
If you reject advertising cookies, certain advertising measurement and personalization functions may not operate in the same way.
Where Google Consent Mode is implemented, Google tags can adjust their behavior based on the consent choices communicated by the Website. For example, when advertising storage is denied, Google states that advertising cookies are not written and existing first-party advertising cookies are not read.
Please note that declining cookies does not necessarily prevent you from seeing advertisements online. It may instead affect whether advertising can be personalized or accurately attributed to your activity.
5. Browser Controls
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings.
You may be able to block, delete, or receive notifications about cookies. However, disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality or performance of the Website.
6. California Privacy Rights
If you are a California resident, California privacy laws may provide you with additional rights regarding your personal information, including certain rights relating to the sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Whether those rights apply to Autumn Consulting depends on whether Autumn Consulting is subject to the applicable provisions of California law.
Where applicable, we will honor valid California privacy rights and provide the methods required by law for exercising those rights.
Our Privacy Policy contains additional information about our collection and use of personal information and explains how to submit applicable privacy requests.
Please note that a cookie banner alone is not necessarily a substitute for a legally required “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” mechanism. California regulations distinguish between managing cookies and submitting a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information.
7. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies and similar technologies may be placed or controlled by third-party service providers that we use for analytics, advertising, security, or other Website functions.
These third parties may collect information about your device, browser, Website activity, or interactions with advertisements in accordance with their own privacy policies and applicable requirements.
Third-party technologies used on our Website may change over time.
