Overview
YardSalePermit.com ("the Site") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information. By using this site, you agree to the practices described here.
Information We Collect
Information you provide: If you contact us via email, we collect your email address and the content of your message. We do not operate a user registration system — no accounts, no passwords, no personal profiles.
Information collected automatically: Like most websites, we collect certain technical information automatically when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and time on site. This is standard web server log data.
Cookies
This site uses cookies for two purposes:
- Analytics: We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site — which pages are viewed, how long visitors stay, and where traffic comes from. Google Analytics uses cookies to track sessions. This data is aggregated and anonymized.
- Advertising: We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to this site and other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
We also use Microsoft Clarity for session analytics (heatmaps, scroll depth). Clarity collects anonymized behavioral data to help us improve the site.
The interactive checklist tool uses sessionStorage (not cookies) to temporarily save your checkbox state within a single browser session. This data is not transmitted to our servers and is cleared when you close your browser tab.
How We Use Information
- To understand how visitors use the site and improve content
- To respond to contact form submissions and emails
- To display relevant advertising through Google AdSense
We do not sell, rent, or share personally identifiable information with third parties except as required by law or as necessary to operate the analytics and advertising services described above.
