Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones Phillips Brothers Construction, LLC uses on ausieass.com, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser. Cookies let a site remember your actions and preferences over time. Similar technologies — such as local storage and pixels — work in comparable ways, and this policy covers those as well.
2. Your choice
When you first visit the Site, a banner asks for your cookie preferences. Strictly necessary cookies are always active because the Site cannot function without them. Analytics and advertising cookies are set only if you allow them. You can accept all, reject the optional categories, or choose category by category.
3. Categories we use
3.1 Strictly necessary — always on
Required for basic operation, security and for remembering your cookie choice. These cannot be switched off.
- pbc_consent — records which cookie categories you allowed. Stored for 12 months.
- pbc_cookie_consent (browser local storage) — the same preference in a form the page can read immediately on load, so the banner is not shown again.
- Session cookie — set by the web server to keep a page request working correctly and to protect our forms from automated abuse. Expires when you close the browser.
3.2 Analytics — optional
Help us see, in aggregate, which pages are viewed, how visitors move through the Site and where they run into difficulty, so we can improve it. These cookies are set only after you allow the analytics category, and the reports we see do not identify you personally.
- Typical lifetime: from the end of the session up to 24 months.
- Typical purpose: page views, session duration, device and browser type, referring source.
3.3 Advertising — optional
Let us measure whether an advertisement or campaign led to a project inquiry and, where applicable, show relevant ads on other platforms. These cookies are set by our advertising partners only after you allow the advertising category.
- Typical lifetime: up to 24 months.
- Typical purpose: conversion measurement and campaign attribution.
4. Cookies set by third parties
If you allow optional cookies, our analytics and advertising providers may set their own cookies through the Site. Those providers process the data under their own privacy terms:
- Google — policies.google.com/technologies/cookies and ad controls at adssettings.google.com.
- Industry opt-outs — optout.aboutads.info and optout.networkadvertising.org.
5. Managing cookies in your browser
Independently of our banner, you can view, block or delete cookies through your browser settings. The relevant control is usually found under Privacy, Security or Site settings in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge and other major browsers. Browser help pages explain the exact steps for each version.
Blocking all cookies, including strictly necessary ones, may prevent parts of the Site from working correctly — the consent banner, for example, will reappear on every visit.
6. Changes to this policy
We will update this page whenever the cookies we use change. The effective date at the top of the page shows when it was last revised.
