Cookie Policy
This policy keeps the core cookie categories, tables, third-party services, and contact details visible while making them easier to understand.
IronFinance uses cookies to operate the site, remember preferences, and understand traffic. Analytics cookies are only set if the visitor consents. Separately, the site keeps one random visit id in your browser (not a cookie) so an enquiry can be matched to the pages that led to it — see Visit Measurement below.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences and understand how you interact with pages.
How We Use Cookies
IronFinance uses cookies to operate the site, remember your preferences, and analyze traffic. Cookies are grouped into three main categories:
Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the site to work and cannot be disabled through the site’s cookie preferences.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
ironfinance_consent | Stores cookie consent preferences | 1 year | 1st party |
ironfinance_prequal_data | Saves pre-qualification form data for pre-fill | Session | 1st party |
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help IronFinance understand how visitors use the site. These are only set if the visitor consents.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics — distinguishes unique users | 2 years | 3rd party |
_ga_* | Google Analytics — maintains session state | 2 years | 3rd party |
_gid | Google Analytics — distinguishes users | 24 hours | 3rd party |
Visit Measurement (No Cookies)
IronFinance uses FullArc, its customer-relationship and site-analytics provider, to record which pages a visit included — the landing page, pages viewed after it, the referring site, campaign tags, whether the device is a phone or computer, and taps on our phone number. When you send an enquiry, it is matched to that visit so we can see which pages actually help contractors reach us.
This sets no cookies. It stores one random visit id in your browser’s local storage. It runs for every visitor and is not switched off by the analytics setting in the cookie banner, which controls Google Analytics cookies only. FullArc records your IP address and deletes it automatically after 90 days. You can prevent this measurement by clearing this site’s data or blocking scripts in your browser, and you can ask us to delete visit data at privacy@ironfinance.ca.
| Storage | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
fa_session | FullArc — identifies a visit so an enquiry can be matched to the pages that led to it | Replaced after 30 minutes without activity | 1st party (local storage) |
