It is intended for visitors, prospective customers, customers, and other users in the United States. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and any applicable Terms of Use.
Cookies help websites function, remember user choices, improve performance, understand how people interact with online content, and support advertising or measurement. Some cookies are necessary for the website to work correctly. Others are optional and may be used only where permitted by applicable law and, when required, after you have been given appropriate choices.
For purposes of this Cookie Policy, references to we, us, and our mean SummitShield Roofing. References to you mean any person who visits or uses our online services.

2. What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are
A cookie is a small text file placed on your browser, device, or local storage when you visit a website. Cookies may contain a unique identifier and may store information such as site preferences, session information, device settings, or information about how pages are used. Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting, known as first-party cookies, or by another organization that provides services to the website, known as third-party cookies.
Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage, session storage, web beacons, and device identifiers. These tools may collect or store information about your browser, device, IP address, general location, pages viewed, interactions with online content, referral sources, and approximate time spent on pages. In some cases, these technologies may help us understand whether a marketing campaign led a visitor to request a roofing estimate, call us, submit a form, or view information about our services.
Cookies do not usually identify you by name on their own. However, certain cookie information may be considered personal information under U.S. state privacy laws when it can reasonably be linked to you, your household, your device, or other identifiers. We treat such information in accordance with applicable privacy requirements.
3. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate our online services, protect the security of our website, maintain user sessions, remember your preferences, understand website performance, improve our content, and measure the effectiveness of marketing. For example, cookies may help us make sure a request form loads correctly, detect suspicious traffic, remember whether you dismissed a notice, or evaluate which service pages are most useful to visitors.
Because SummitShield Roofing provides roofing-related services, our website may include forms or calls to action that allow you to request information, schedule a consultation, ask about repairs, submit project details, or contact our team. Cookies may help those online features work reliably and may help us understand which online pathways lead to customer inquiries. We do not use cookies to make decisions about insurance eligibility, credit, employment, or similar matters.
We aim to use cookies in a way that is reasonable, proportionate, and transparent. Where choices are available, you can manage cookies through our cookie preference tools, your browser settings, or device-level controls as described below.
4. Categories of Cookies We May Use
We may use the following categories of cookies and similar technologies. The exact cookies used may change over time as we update our website, analytics tools, security features, and service providers.
- Strictly necessary cookies. These cookies are required for the website to function. They support core features such as page navigation, secure form submission, fraud prevention, load balancing, and access to essential website areas. Because these cookies are necessary, they generally cannot be disabled through our website controls, although you may be able to block them in your browser. Blocking them may cause the website to function improperly.
- Performance and analytics cookies. These cookies help us measure how visitors use our website. They may collect information such as pages visited, time on page, links selected, browser type, approximate location, and referring pages. We use this information to understand traffic patterns, improve the usability of our website, identify technical issues, and evaluate which roofing-related content is helpful to visitors.
- Functional cookies. These cookies remember choices you make and help personalize your experience. They may store preferences such as region, language, form progress, or whether you have previously seen a notice. Functional cookies are not always essential, but disabling them may make the website less convenient.
- Advertising and targeting cookies. These cookies may be used to deliver, measure, and improve advertising. They may help us understand whether an advertisement or search listing led you to our website, limit repeated ads, or create audiences based on website interactions. These cookies may be set by third-party advertising partners and may involve cross-site activity.
- Social media and embedded content cookies. If our website includes embedded content, social media features, maps, videos, reviews, or similar tools, those providers may place cookies or collect information when you interact with the content or when the content loads. Your interactions with those features may be governed by the privacy and cookie policies of the relevant third parties.
- Security and fraud prevention cookies. These technologies help detect malicious activity, automated traffic, abuse, spam, or attempts to interfere with website integrity. They may evaluate IP addresses, browser signals, session activity, and other technical information to protect our site and users.
5. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by SummitShield Roofing or by technology operating on our behalf under our domain. We may use first-party cookies to keep the website working, preserve your preferences, support analytics, or help us understand how our website is performing.
Third-party cookies are set by service providers or partners that support website hosting, security, analytics, advertising, maps, scheduling, call tracking, customer relationship management, or other business functions. These third parties may use cookies to provide services to us, to measure the performance of content, or for their own purposes as permitted by their policies and applicable law.
We do not control every cookie placed by third parties after you interact with their embedded content or services. However, we seek to work with reputable providers and to use reasonable measures to configure tools in a privacy-conscious way. You may manage many third-party cookies through our cookie tools, your browser settings, device controls, and applicable industry opt-out mechanisms.
6. Information Collected Through Cookies
Depending on your device, browser, settings, and interactions with our website, cookies and similar technologies may collect or process information such as IP address, device identifiers, browser type, operating system, general geographic location, referring URL, pages viewed, date and time of visit, session duration, search terms, form interactions, clicks, scroll activity, and interactions with advertisements or embedded content.
If you submit a form, call us through a number displayed on our website, request a roofing inspection, ask for an estimate, or otherwise provide information, cookie data may be associated with your inquiry to help us understand how you reached us, respond to your request, and improve our services. For example, we may learn that a visitor viewed information about roof repair, gutter work, storm damage, or replacement services before submitting a contact request.
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information through cookies, such as precise health information, government identification numbers, financial account passwords, or the contents of private communications. If any cookie-related information is treated as personal information under applicable U.S. privacy law, we handle it as described in our Privacy Policy.
7. Cookie Duration
Cookies may be session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies generally last only while your browser is open and are deleted when you close your browser. They are commonly used for basic website functions and security. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They may be used to remember preferences, support analytics, or help with advertising measurement.
The lifespan of a cookie depends on its purpose and the settings established by us or the relevant third-party provider. Some cookies may last for only a few minutes or hours, while others may remain for days, months, or longer. We aim to limit cookie duration to what is reasonably necessary for the purpose for which the cookie is used.
You can delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. If you delete cookies, you may need to reset preferences, sign back in where applicable, or re-enter information. Deleting cookies may not delete information that has already been collected and stored in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law.
8. Your Cookie Choices
You have several ways to manage cookies. If our website displays a cookie banner or preference center, you may use it to accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookies. Essential cookies that are necessary for website operation may remain active even if you decline other categories.
You can also manage cookies through your browser. Most browsers allow you to block cookies, delete existing cookies, receive warnings before cookies are placed, or block third-party cookies. Browser controls vary, so please review the instructions for your browser. If you use more than one browser or device, you may need to apply your preferences separately on each one.
Mobile devices may provide additional privacy controls, including advertising identifier reset tools, app tracking settings, location permissions, and browser-specific tracking controls. Some browsers also offer features that limit cross-site tracking. Your choices may affect the functionality and personalization of our website.
If you opt out of certain advertising cookies, you may still see advertisements for SummitShield Roofing, but they may be less tailored or may not reflect your previous interactions with our website. Opting out does not necessarily stop all data collection for security, analytics, fraud prevention, or operational purposes.
9. U.S. State Privacy Rights and CCPA Notice
Some U.S. state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, known collectively as the CCPA, may provide residents with rights regarding personal information collected through cookies and similar technologies. Depending on your state of residence and our legal obligations, you may have the right to know what categories of personal information we collect, request access to or deletion of certain personal information, correct inaccurate information, opt out of certain sharing or targeted advertising, and limit certain uses of sensitive personal information where applicable.
Cookie data such as online identifiers, IP address, browsing activity, interaction information, and advertising identifiers may be considered personal information under the CCPA and similar laws. If we use third-party advertising or analytics technologies in a way that constitutes a sale, sharing, or targeted advertising under applicable law, you may have the right to opt out. We do not knowingly sell or share personal information of children under 16.
You may exercise applicable privacy rights by contacting us at info@summitshieldroofing.com. We may need to verify your request before responding, and we may decline requests where permitted by law, such as when we must retain information for security, legal, or transactional reasons. We will not discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights, although some website features may depend on cookies or related technologies.
10. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Controls
Some browsers offer a Do Not Track signal. There is no uniform industry standard requiring websites to respond to all Do Not Track signals, and our response may vary depending on the signal, technology, and applicable law. We may continue to use essential cookies and certain operational technologies even when a browser sends a Do Not Track signal.
Where required by applicable U.S. state privacy laws, we will make reasonable efforts to recognize legally valid opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, in a manner appropriate to the technology available and the requirements that apply to us. If recognized, such signals may be treated as a request to opt out of certain sales, sharing, or targeted advertising for the browser or device sending the signal.
Because opt-out preference signals are typically browser or device specific, you may need to enable them separately on each browser or device you use. If you clear cookies or change browser settings, you may need to renew certain preferences.
11. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our website, business practices, service providers, technologies, legal requirements, or cookie usage. When we update the policy, we will revise the effective date or otherwise provide notice as appropriate. Your continued use of our website after an updated Cookie Policy is posted means that you acknowledge the updated terms, subject to any consent requirements that may apply.
We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically so that you understand how SummitShield Roofing uses cookies and similar technologies. If changes materially affect your choices, we may provide additional notice or request updated preferences where required by law.
