Cookies Policy
Effective Date: March 1, 2026
About This Cookies Policy
What This Policy Covers
This cookies policy explains what cookies are, how Integrated Land and Construction Consultants (“ILCC”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website (integratedlandcc.com), what types of cookies we use, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy for a complete understanding of how we handle your data.
Understanding how cookies work helps you make informed decisions about your online privacy. This policy provides complete transparency about every cookie used on our website, why each one exists, and exactly how to control your preferences at any time.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They serve various purposes — from remembering your preferences to helping website owners understand how visitors interact with their site. Cookies can be “session cookies” (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent cookies” (remaining on your device for a set period or until manually deleted).
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for our website to function properly. They enable basic features like page navigation, secure areas access, and form functionality. Without these cookies, certain parts of our website would not work correctly. Essential cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes and cannot be disabled without affecting website functionality. Examples include session management cookies that track your current session while you browse, CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) protection tokens that protect form submissions from malicious attacks, and WordPress functionality cookies that enable login sessions and user preferences. Essential cookies are considered necessary under GDPR and ePrivacy regulations and do not require explicit consent. These cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser, with the exception of remember-me tokens that may persist for security verification purposes.
Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. These cookies collect information about which pages you visit, how long you spend on each page, how you arrived at our site (search engine, direct, referral), and general geographic information (country, region — not precise location). This data is aggregated and anonymized. We use it to improve our website content, identify popular pages and content gaps, optimize the user experience, and track website performance over time. Google Analytics cookies include _ga, _ga_[ID], and _gid.
Third-Party Functional Cookies
Our website integrates several third-party services that may set their own cookies. Calendly (consultation scheduling) sets cookies to manage the booking widget, remember your timezone, and process appointments. These cookies enable our online scheduling system to function properly and maintain your appointment information during the booking process. Google Maps (office location) sets cookies to display our interactive office map and remember your map preferences, such as zoom level or whether you prefer satellite view. Brevo (email marketing and forms) sets cookies to manage form submissions, track email campaign interactions, and deliver our newsletter. These cookies help Brevo verify that form submissions are legitimate and track which newsletter emails you’ve opened (if you’ve enabled tracking). Each of these services has its own cookie and privacy policies, which we encourage you to review. We do not sell or share the cookies set by these third parties, but we cannot control their exact usage parameters.
Marketing and Advertising Cookies
At this time, ILCC does not use marketing or advertising cookies (such as retargeting pixels from Facebook, Google Ads, or similar platforms). If we implement advertising cookies in the future, we will update this policy and provide you with the ability to opt out.
Specific Cookies on Our Site
Cookie Reference Table

Essential cookies include: wordpress_[hash] (session duration, WordPress login authentication), wp_settings-[UID] (persistent, 1 year duration, stores user preferences like sidebar state), PHPSESSID (session, server session ID for form processing).

Third-party functional cookies include: calendly_session (session duration, maintains Calendly booking widget state), NID (persistent, 6 months, Google Maps preferences and interactions), __cfduid (persistent, 30 days, Cloudflare security and DDoS protection). Please note that some cookie names and durations may vary based on browser or service updates. This table represents the primary cookies as of the last site audit.
Cookie Durations
Session cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for their designated lifetime or until you manually delete them. The longest-lasting cookies on our site are the Google Analytics _ga cookie (2 years) and the WordPress wp_settings cookie (1 year). You can delete all cookies at any time through your browser settings.
How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences
Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find cookie settings in your browser’s “Privacy” or “Security” section. Common options include blocking all cookies, blocking only third-party cookies, deleting cookies when you close the browser, and receiving alerts before a cookie is set. Please note that blocking or deleting certain cookies may impact website functionality.

Google Analytics Opt-Out
If you want to opt out of Google Analytics tracking specifically, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This prevents Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits to any website using Google Analytics.
Cookie Consent
Your Consent
By continuing to use our website after being presented with a cookie notice, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy. You can withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings to refuse cookies or by deleting cookies already stored on your device.
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. There is currently no uniform standard for how companies should respond to DNT signals. At this time, our website does not alter its data collection or use practices in response to DNT signals. If a standard is established, we will review and update our practices accordingly.
Changes to This Cookies Policy
Policy Updates
We may update this cookies policy periodically to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in technology, or changes in legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically for the latest information on our cookie practices. Material changes may also be communicated through our cookie consent banner.
Cookie FAQs
Will blocking cookies affect my experience?
Blocking essential cookies may prevent certain website features from working correctly, such as forms and the Calendly scheduling widget. You may not be able to submit contact forms or schedule consultations if essential cookies are blocked. Blocking analytics cookies (Google Analytics) will not affect your browsing experience or your ability to access content, but will prevent us from understanding how visitors use our site, which limits our ability to improve the website. Blocking third-party cookies (Google Maps, Brevo) may affect the functionality of the office location map or email signup forms. We recommend allowing essential and analytics cookies while blocking optional advertising cookies.
Does ILCC sell data collected through cookies?
No. We never sell any data collected through cookies or any other means. Cookie data is used exclusively to improve our website and deliver our services as described in this policy and our Privacy Policy.
How often should I clear my cookies?
This is a personal preference. Clearing cookies regularly can help protect your privacy, but may require you to re-enter preferences on websites you visit frequently. Most users find that clearing cookies every few months strikes a good balance.
