Cookie Policy
Last updated: September 13, 2026
This policy explains cookies and similar technologies on the Fort Yuma Defense Co. website.
Your cookie choices
Optional analytics stays off until you choose “Allow analytics.” Choose “Decline” to browse without it, or use “Cookie choices” in the footer to change your decision. Declining does not prevent you from requesting a quote. Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track browser signals keep optional analytics off.
Cookies and browser storage
Cookies are small records stored by your browser. Local storage remembers information between visits, while session storage normally lasts for one browser tab. We use these technologies for the purposes below. We do not use advertising or personalization cookies.
| Technology | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
Cookie choice (fy_analytics_consent, local storage) | Remembers whether you allow optional analytics. | Up to 180 days; replaced when you change your choice. |
Google Analytics (_ga and _ga_* cookies) | With permission, measures visits, page use, referral sources, and interactions. | Configured to expire after 180 days without extending that expiry on each visit. |
Quote confirmation (fy_quote_receipt and fy_quote_events, session storage) | With analytics permission, counts a successful quote request once when its confirmation page opens. Contains a request reference, not form contents; that reference is not sent to Google. | Confirmation references are used once and expire for counting after 30 minutes. Duplicate-prevention references last until the tab closes. |
Declining analytics removes the site’s Analytics cookies and quote-counting references. Navigation and unsent form entries work in the current page. Closing or reloading the form clears unsent entries; requests you submit remain in our business records as described in the Privacy Policy. Browser autofill may retain entries separately.
Google Analytics
With your permission, Google Analytics measures pages, traffic sources, scrolling, contact links, and quote-form activity. We do not send form contents or uploaded files to Google Analytics. Google Signals and advertising personalization are disabled. User and event data is retained for up to 14 months; aggregated reports are not subject to that limit. Read how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Cloudflare security cookies
Depending on the enabled security features, Cloudflare may use cookies such as __cf_bm for bot protection, cf_clearance for security checks, or _cfuvid for rate limiting. Their presence depends on the features used and the requests made. They support site security rather than advertising.
Cloudflare states that __cf_bm expires after 30 minutes of inactivity. Other lifetimes depend on the security feature and configuration. Current descriptions are available in Cloudflare’s cookie documentation.
Your browser controls
You can inspect, block, or clear cookies through your browser’s privacy settings. Browser autofill and saved downloads are separate from site cookies and can be managed through your browser settings.
Server requests and external websites
Serving a page may create a server log even when no cookies are used. Following a supplier link takes you to another website that may use its own cookies. We do not load those sites into this page as advertising or analytics tools.
Changes
We update this policy when our use of cookies changes and provide any additional choices required before new optional uses begin.
