Cookie Policy
Last updated October 16, 2026
Effective date: October 16, 2026. This Cookie Policy explains how MAS Landscaping & Snow Removal uses cookies and similar browser storage on this website.
What the website uses and why
This website uses cookies and browser storage to support website features, remember your cookie choices, measure visits and support advertising. Some services also receive information through requests from your browser. Information collected automatically includes your IP address, browser and device type, pages visited and time on the site.
Your cookie choices
Analytics and advertising tools stay off until you click "Accept all" on the cookie banner or scroll the page while the banner is showing. Scrolling while the banner is showing counts as accepting these tools. Google Tag Manager loads measurement and advertising tags after you accept.
Use the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of any page to switch analytics or advertising cookies off, or back on, at any time.
The cookie banner remembers your choices. If you allow analytics, your browser may also send this website a list of the names of its cookies and similar storage, at most once a day. This report never includes their contents. The list is not stored with anything that identifies you. It is used only to keep this Cookie Policy accurate.
Embedded content
Some pages include embedded content from other services, such as videos, maps, social media posts or reviews. Loading that content sends request information, such as your IP address and browser information, to its provider. The provider may use cookies or browser storage. Embedded content operates separately from the optional analytics and advertising controls. For example, your browser connects to YouTube to load its player and videos, and to Elfsight to load its widgets.
Chat and forms
The chat assistant uses browser storage for its session, attention notice and mute setting. Anthropic generates replies from the messages you type. We and our marketing agency, AQ Marketing, keep your chat messages and any contact or project details you choose to share. Chat details are also sent to our LeadConnector / HighLevel CRM so we can respond. Contact form details are sent to that CRM as well.
Providers, purposes and storage
The table below lists the website's providers, what they do, and identified cookies or browser storage. Not every service listed uses cookies. Google Tag Manager itself sets no cookies, but the tags it loads may do so. Services such as hosting and font delivery also receive information through requests to their servers.
