Cookie Policy
Effective date: July 10, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how T Meador Construction LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on Circuit Directory at circuitdirectory.com (the “Service”). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to keep you logged in, and to remember your preferences. Similar technologies (such as browser local storage) serve comparable purposes.
2. Our approach
We use only essential cookies and similar technologies. We do not use advertising cookies, cross-site tracking pixels, or non-essential analytics. Essential cookies are strictly necessary to operate the Service and, under EU/UK law, do not require your consent — but we disclose them here for transparency.
3. Cookies and storage we use
| Cookie / source | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Firebase Authentication (browser local/IndexedDB storage) | Keeps you signed in and maintains your session | Essential (first-party) | Persists until you sign out |
Stripe (__stripe_mid, __stripe_sid) | Payment processing and fraud prevention on pages where Stripe is loaded | Essential (third-party) | __stripe_mid: ~1 year; __stripe_sid: ~30 minutes |
Cloudflare (__cf_bm) | Bot management and network security | Essential (third-party) | ~30 minutes |
Confirm before publishing: Open circuitdirectory.com in your browser, then dev tools → Application → Cookies and → Local Storage, and check what actually appears. Firebase Authentication typically stores tokens in IndexedDB/local storage rather than a cookie; if your setup uses a session cookie instead, add its name here. Stripe publishes its current cookie list at stripe.com/legal/cookies-policy, and Cloudflare’s cookies are documented at developers.cloudflare.com.
About Stripe
We use Stripe to process payments. Stripe sets cookies to enable secure payment processing and to detect and prevent fraud. Because we load Stripe’s script to protect against fraudulent activity, these cookies may be set across the Service, not only on checkout pages. See Stripe’s Privacy Policy.
About Cloudflare
Our site is served through Cloudflare, which provides content delivery and security. Cloudflare may set a strictly necessary cookie (__cf_bm) to distinguish real users from bots and protect the Service from abuse.
About fonts
Confirm before publishing: If you load fonts locally (self-hosted, or via an Astro/Fontsource package bundled with your site), no visitor data is sent to a third-party font provider and there is nothing further to disclose here. If your site links to fonts from a third party such as Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com), you must disclose it here and note that the provider receives visitors’ IP addresses — or switch to self-hosting to avoid that. We recommend self-hosting.
4. Managing cookies
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Because the cookies and storage we use are essential, blocking them may prevent you from signing in or using core features of the Service.
5. Changes to this Policy
If we introduce analytics, advertising, or other non-essential cookies in the future, we will update this Policy and, where required, add a consent banner so you can accept or reject non-essential cookies before they are set.
