What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small text file placed on your hard disk to enable a site to recall your specific information on subsequent visits, saving you time and effort. While cookies can remember your information to provide you with this convenience, they cannot be used to run programs or spread viruses to your computer.
Why Does Earth Development Atlanta Use Cookies?
Cookies are used on this site to ensure the integrity of the registration process and to personalize your experience on the site. Furthermore, they deliver relevant content, ease site navigation, or collect information for statistical purposes, such as the number of visitors our site receives. There are two common types of cookies that we use, “persistent cookies” and “session cookies.”
- “Persistent cookies” live on your browser’s subfolder for a duration of time, or until you manually delete them. We use persistent cookies to help remember your information and settings when you visit the site in the future, making your experience more personalized. This makes your requests and registration process faster and more convenient for obtaining or accessing site information, products, or services.
- “Session cookies” are temporary cookie files that delete once you leave the site and close your browser. We use session cookies to enable the site to track your movement during your visit to earthdevelopment.net, which in turn helps Earth Development Atlanta improve the site’s functionality and performance.
How Does Earth Development Atlanta Use Cookies?
When you visit the site, cookies will be placed on your device by Earth Development Atlanta or third parties whose services are used to ensure the overall functionality of earthdevelopment.net. The cookies used on the site are as follows:
Strictly necessary cookies
Earth Development Atlanta uses secure firewalls and cookies to prevent unauthorized access to our internal systems. The security cookie does not contain any personal information and cannot be opted out of.
Site performance cookies
Every time a visitor lands on the site, our site performance cookies fire an ‘anonymous cookie.’ These cookies are used to monitor the site’s condition, visitor behavior, and help us continue to improve the content and performance of earthdevelopment.net.
Google Analytics
Purpose:
Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google to help us see the site’s behavior. The data collected by Google Analytics is used to analyze the frequency of returning visitors, the source of site traffic (whether from advertising or referring websites), and which pages are viewed most frequently. This information is combined with data from thousands of other visitors to create a comprehensive picture of the site’s usage. Google Analytics never identifies the individual or their personal information and is not linked to any other information we store about you.
Hotjar
Purpose:
Our site may also use the Hotjar website recording service to record mouse clicks, mouse movements, and page scrolling. The information collected is used to improve the usability of our site and is stored and used for aggregated and statistical reporting purposes. Hotjar is set to let us know whether that visitor is included in the sample used to generate funnels.
Functionality cookies
Earth Development Atlanta uses functionality cookies to enhance the user experience by tracking the choices you make on the site. This allows us to tailor content to your preferences. All data is stored and used for aggregated and statistical reporting. Earth Development Atlanta stores form submissions to manage your identity for customer relationship management initiatives.
Internet Advertising
Internet advertising delivers promotional marketing messages to you, allowing you to view ads that you may like based on your activity on search engines, websites, and social media applications. We may use tracking pixels to assist with engagement through internet advertising. The technology to do this is made possible through cookies or similar technologies, and we may place these tracking pixels during your visit. Earth Development Atlanta employees are unable to reach out to you personally as the process is anonymized and based on audience segmentation.
Earth Development Atlanta utilizes marketing and remarketing cookies to gain a deeper understanding of our audience’s interests and promote our services and products more effectively. The tracking pixels we currently use are for LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and Google.
