Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how CleanDevos ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at cleandevos.com (the "Site"). It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners useful information about how their site is being used.

Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device until they expire or you delete them) or "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser).

2. Types of Cookies We Use

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Site to function properly. They enable core functionality such as page navigation and access to secure areas. The Site cannot function properly without these cookies.

• cookie_consent — Remembers your cookie consent preference. Duration: 1 year. First-party.
• Session cookies — Maintain your browsing session. Duration: Until browser is closed (session). First-party.

2.2 Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Site by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data helps us improve the Site's structure and content.

2.3 Advertising & Conversion Tracking Cookies

These cookies are used to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns, track conversions from Google Ads, and support offline conversion measurement and enhanced conversions.

2.4 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your preferences and settings.

• Form data — May temporarily store form input to improve user experience. Duration: Session. First-party.

3. How Cookies Support Offline Conversion Tracking

When you visit our website through a Google advertisement, a unique click identifier (GCLID) is stored in the _gcl_aw cookie on your device. If you subsequently submit a contact or booking form, we may associate this identifier with your form submission. This allows us to upload the conversion event to Google Ads for offline measurement, helping us understand which advertisements lead to actual customer inquiries and service bookings.

The GCLID does not contain any personal information by itself — it is a random identifier that Google uses to match the conversion back to the original ad click.

4. How Cookies Support Enhanced Conversions

To improve the accuracy of our conversion measurement, our website may collect and hash (one-way encrypt) your email address or phone number at the time you submit a form. This hashed data is sent to Google along with the conversion event. Google uses it to match the conversion to a signed-in Google user, improving attribution accuracy.

The original (unhashed) email or phone number is never shared with Google through this process. Only a one-way encrypted version is transmitted, which cannot be reversed to reveal the original information.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control these third-party cookies. The third-party services we use include:
