Cookie Policy.
How we use cookies to give you a better experience on our website.
Last Updated: May 15, 2026. This technical disclosure ("Cookie Policy") explains the deployment and management of cookies, pixel tags, and local storage objects on the digital properties of City Promo.
1. Taxonomy of Tracking Technologies
We utilize a variety of digital identifiers to maintain state, ensure security, and optimize our advocacy platform:
- HTTP Cookies: Small text fragments transmitted by your browser.
- Pixel Tags (Web Beacons): Transparent graphic images used to track conversion events from our Google Ads and LinkedIn campaigns.
- Local Storage (HTML5): Used to cache configuration data to reduce server-side latency.
2. Functional Classification
2.1 Strictly Necessary (Layer 0)
These identifiers are critical for the base-level security and operation of the site. They cannot be disabled through our internal controls as they handle cross-site request forgery (CSRF) protection and session persistence for audit requests.
2.2 Analytics & Heuristics (Layer 1)
We use these to aggregate data on how visitors move through our service sections. We primarily utilize Google Analytics 4 (GA4) with IP anonymization enabled to respect client privacy while understanding page performance.
2.3 Marketing & Attribution (Layer 2)
As we utilize performance marketing to reach new advocacy clients, these cookies help us attribute a successful audit request to a specific advertisement. This includes conversion pixels for Google Ads, which help us optimize our outreach efficiency.
3. Persistence & Origin
- Session Cookies: Temporary identifiers that expire immediately upon the termination of the browser session.
- Persistent Cookies: Identifiers that remain on your device for a pre-defined period (up to 24 months) to recognize returning clients.
- First-Party: Deployed directly by the City Promo domain.
- Third-Party: Deployed by vetted partners like Google, Microsoft, or LinkedIn for auxiliary services.
4. Granular User Controls
You have the sovereign right to manage your digital footprint. Methods of control include:
- Browser-Level Blocking: Modifying settings in Chrome, Safari, or Firefox to reject all cookies.
- DNT (Do Not Track): We recognize and respect DNT signals transmitted by browsers where technically feasible.
- GPC (Global Privacy Control): Our systems are designed to honor GPC signals as a universal opt-out for non-essential tracking.
