Cookie Policy

1. Scope of This Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy applies to the Solar Exit Colorado website and technologies used to operate, protect, maintain, measure, and improve it.

This Policy should be read together with the Privacy Policy , which explains how information collected through website technologies may be used, retained, protected, and shared.

This Policy does not govern cookies placed independently by a website you visit after following an external link. The privacy and cookie policies of that third party apply after you leave this website.

2. What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are

A cookie is a small piece of information stored by a web browser on a computer, telephone, tablet, or other device. Cookies can allow a website or service provider to recognize a browser, maintain a session, remember a preference, protect a website, or measure website activity.

Cookies may be:

• Session cookies, which generally expire when the browser is closed
• Persistent cookies, which remain until they expire or are deleted
• First-party cookies, which are associated with the website being visited
• Third-party cookies, which are associated with an outside service used by the website

Similar technologies can include local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, scripts, device identifiers, server logs, and other methods that recognize a browser or measure website activity.

The terms “cookie” and “cookies” in this Policy include these similar technologies where appropriate.

3. Current Website Technologies

The known website technology stack includes:

• WordPress, the website content-management system
• Divi, the website theme and layout system
• Forminator, which operates website forms and document-submission features
• Wordfence, which provides firewall, login-security, malware-scanning, and abuse-prevention functions
• SpeedyCache, which supports website caching and performance optimization
• Website hosting and server services, which may maintain access, security, error, and diagnostic logs

The presence of a plugin or technical service does not mean that it places a cookie on every visitor’s browser. Cookie use can depend on the feature being used, the visitor’s actions, whether the visitor is logged in, and the applicable configuration.

The website may later add, remove, or replace analytics, advertising, fraud-prevention, form-security, call-tracking, chat, video, consent-management, or other services. This Policy and any required consent controls will be updated when those changes materially affect cookie practices.

4. Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies and technologies support essential website functions. Depending on the website configuration and how a visitor uses the site, they may be used to:

• Operate and deliver website pages
• Maintain administrative or authenticated sessions
• Test whether a browser accepts cookies
• Protect login and administrative functions
• Apply firewall and security rules
• Detect malicious traffic, spam, bots, or attempted abuse
• Preserve security and form-submission integrity
• Prevent unauthorized access
• Maintain website stability and performance

WordPress can use authentication and test cookies for users who access administrative or login functions. Ordinary public visitors who do not log in may not receive those administrative cookies.

Wordfence may use security cookies in limited situations, including for authenticated WordPress users or when specific security features are enabled. Wordfence may also process an IP address, request information, and security logs without placing a browser cookie.

Strictly necessary technologies generally cannot be disabled through a website preference tool because the website may not function or remain secure without them. They may still be blocked through browser settings, but doing so can interfere with website operation.

5. Functional Cookies and Browser Storage

Functional technologies remember choices or support optional features that are not strictly necessary to display a basic webpage.

Depending on features enabled now or in the future, functional technologies may be used to:

• Remember a website or cookie preference
• Preserve progress through a multi-step form
• Prevent duplicate form, poll, or survey activity
• Remember interface or accessibility preferences
• Maintain optional chat or scheduling functionality
• Support embedded tools requested by a visitor

The current Solar Exit Colorado forms are used for inquiries, contract reviews, and document submissions. Forminator may use cookies when certain optional features are configured, but standard form operation does not necessarily require a Forminator cookie for every visitor.

Disabling functional technologies may prevent an optional feature from remembering information or working as expected.

6. Analytics and Performance Technologies

Analytics and performance technologies can help explain how visitors find and use a website. When enabled, these services may collect information such as:

• Pages viewed
• Links and buttons selected
• Approximate visit duration
• Referring website or campaign
• Browser and device type
• General location inferred from an IP address
• Form or page interactions
• Website errors and loading performance
• Aggregated traffic and conversion information

This information may be used to identify technical problems, improve content, understand website navigation, measure the effectiveness of pages, and improve the visitor experience.

Website hosting, server logs, Wordfence, and caching tools may process technical information for security and performance even when a separate analytics cookie is not used.

When an optional analytics service that requires consent or an opt-out method is activated, the applicable controls and provider information will be made available as required.

7. Advertising and Campaign Measurement

Advertising, conversion-measurement, and campaign technologies can be used to identify how a visitor reached the website, measure whether advertising produced a visit or inquiry, limit repetitive advertising, and improve campaign relevance.

Depending on the service, these technologies may process:

• Cookie or device identifiers
• Advertising campaign information
• Referring pages or search information
• Page views and website interactions
• Whether a form, call, or other conversion occurred
• Approximate location and device information

Solar Exit Colorado does not use cookies to place complete solar contracts, uploaded financial documents, account passwords, or full form narratives into an advertising platform.

The website does not currently identify a specific advertising pixel, analytics provider, or call-tracking provider in this Policy. Before a service involving targeted advertising or covered data sharing is activated, this Policy and any legally required consent or opt-out controls should be updated.

Where applicable law treats a disclosure for targeted advertising as a sale, sharing, or targeted-advertising activity, applicable opt-out rights will be honored.

8. Forms, Document Uploads, and Cookies

Solar Exit Colorado uses website forms to receive contact information, descriptions of solar problems, contract-review requests, and supporting documents.

Form submission information is generally transmitted to the website and stored or delivered through form, database, email, hosting, and security systems. It is not ordinarily stored only inside a browser cookie.

Form and upload technologies may process:

• Information entered into form fields
• Files selected for upload
• Submission date and time
• Internet Protocol address
• Browser and device information
• Form validation and anti-spam information
• Consent selections
• Security and diagnostic data

A security, anti-spam, CAPTCHA, or similar service may use cookies or other identifiers if that service is enabled. The applicable third-party policy will govern information processed independently by that provider.

9. Third-Party Technologies

Some website services may be provided by independent companies. Those providers may receive technical information or place their own cookies when their service is loaded or used.

Third-party technologies can include:

• Hosting and content-delivery providers
• Website security and firewall providers
• Form, email, and file-delivery services
• Analytics and performance providers
• Advertising and campaign-measurement providers
• Telephone and call-tracking providers
• Video, map, scheduling, or chat providers
• Spam-prevention and CAPTCHA providers

When a visitor selects a link to an external government, utility, lender, regulator, consumer, or other third-party website, that website may place cookies under its own policies.

Solar Exit Colorado does not control cookies placed by a third party after a visitor leaves this website or independently interacts with that provider.

10. Your Cookie Choices

Most browsers allow users to review, delete, block, or limit cookies. Browser controls may also allow a user to restrict third-party cookies, clear local storage, or delete website data after closing the browser.

Browser controls vary by browser, version, device, and operating system. Review the privacy or security settings within the browser or device you use.

Cookie choices are generally specific to a browser and device. Deleting cookies, changing browsers, using another device, or resetting browser settings may require you to make the choice again.

Blocking all cookies may affect:

• Administrative or authenticated website functions
• Security and fraud-prevention features
• Form progress or validation
• Remembered preferences
• Embedded or optional services
• The website’s ability to diagnose technical problems

The website does not currently promise that a separate cookie-preference center is available. If optional technologies requiring a website consent tool are added, an appropriate control should be implemented before or when those technologies are activated.

You may also contact Solar Exit Colorado using the information below with questions about website technologies or an applicable privacy request.

11. Global Privacy Control

Global Privacy Control, commonly called GPC, is a browser signal that communicates a preference to opt out of certain sales of personal data or targeted advertising.

Where Solar Exit Colorado is subject to a law requiring recognition of GPC and engages in covered sale or targeted advertising activity, an applicable GPC signal will be processed as required.

A GPC signal applies to the browser or device sending the signal. It may need to be enabled separately on each browser or device.

If no covered sale or targeted-advertising activity is active, the signal may not cause a visible change to the website. Strictly necessary website and security technologies may continue to operate.

For official information, visit the Colorado Attorney General’s universal opt-out resource .

12. Changes to This Cookie Policy

Solar Exit Colorado may update this Cookie Policy when website features, plugins, hosting services, form technology, security tools, analytics services, advertising services, consent controls, or legal requirements change.

The effective date displayed at the top of the page identifies the version currently posted. Changes apply prospectively when posted unless another effective date is stated.

If a material change requires additional notice or consent, that notice or consent will be provided as required by applicable law.
