Cookie Policy
Last updated October 16, 2026
Effective date: October 16, 2026. This Cookie Policy explains how D&G Landscaping uses cookies, similar browser storage, and services that receive information when you use our website.
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 shows counts as accepting these tools. You can use the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of any page to switch analytics or advertising cookies off, or back on, at any time.
Embedded content operates separately from these optional analytics and advertising controls. Some pages include embedded videos, maps, social media posts or reviews. Loading this content sends request information, such as your IP address and browser information, to its provider. The provider may use cookies or browser storage.
What these tools do
Our website automatically collects your IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, and time on site. The providers below support website hosting, fonts, images and code, security, spam filtering, embedded content, chat, search-engine improvements, traffic measurement, and cookie choices. Not every provider listed sets cookies. Some receive information through requests from your browser or through forms you submit.
Google Tag Manager loads other measurement and advertising tags after you accept. Tag Manager itself sets no cookies, but the tags it loads may do so. Google Analytics uses cookies to measure how you find and use this website.
If you use our chat, replies are generated using Anthropic's AI service. Your messages and any contact or project details you choose to provide are kept by us and our marketing agency, AQ Marketing, and sent to our team. The chat transcript is stored.
