This Cookies & Tracking Technologies Notice explains how Stearns, Conrad & Schmidt, Consulting Engineers, Inc., and its affiliates (“SCS,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) use cookies and similar technologies on our website (the “Site”), and how you can manage your preferences.
This Notice supplements our Privacy Notice and should be read together with it. This Notice focuses specifically on the technologies that operate on the Site. Information about your privacy rights and available choices is provided through our Privacy Preferences page.
When you access or interact with the Site, certain technologies may collect or receive information about your device, browser, and interactions with the Site. These technologies help us operate the Site, maintain security, understand how the Site is used, and provide embedded functionality.
Some of these technologies are operated by third parties and may receive information about your interactions with the Site as part of providing their services.
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. In addition to cookies, we and our service providers may use similar technologies, including pixels, scripts, software development kits (SDKs), local storage, log files, and other automated tools (collectively, “cookies and tracking technologies”).
These technologies may collect or receive information such as:
We use cookies and tracking technologies that fall into the following categories:
These technologies are necessary for the Site to function properly and securely. They support core features such as page navigation, load balancing, security filtering, fraud prevention, abuse detection, and protection of the Site and our systems.
Because these technologies are required for the operation and security of the Site, they cannot be disabled through our consent tools.
These technologies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site, including which pages are visited, how the Site performs, and how users navigate content. This information is used to evaluate usage trends, diagnose technical issues, and improve the Site’s performance and functionality.
Analytics and performance technologies may be operated by third-party service providers and may involve the collection of interaction and usage data.
The Site may include features or content provided by third parties, such as maps, videos, fonts, or social media integrations. When you interact with this content, third-party technologies may collect information about your interaction with the Site and the embedded feature.
SCS does not control how third parties use information collected through their technologies. Their use of information is governed by their own privacy notices and terms.
Certain cookies and tracking technologies are deployed only after you provide consent, while others are necessary for the operation and security of the Site.
You may review, manage, update, or withdraw your consent for non-essential cookies and tracking technologies at any time through our Privacy Preferences page.
Your consent choices will be recorded and honored in accordance with applicable law. We also use limited technologies that are necessary to record and respect your consent selections.
Some browsers and browser extensions allow users to transmit signals expressing privacy preferences, such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC). Additional information about how SCS recognizes and responds to such signals is available through our Privacy Preferences page.
We may allow third-party service providers to place or operate cookies and tracking technologies on the Site to provide services such as analytics, security, hosting, or embedded functionality.
These third parties may collect information directly from your browser or device when you use the Site. Their collection and use of information are governed by their own privacy practices, not this Notice. We encourage you to review their privacy notices for additional information.
Cookies and tracking technologies may remain on your device for different periods depending on their purpose. Some technologies are session-based and expire when you close your browser, while others may persist for longer periods to support functionality, security, or analytics.
We may update this Cookies & Tracking Technologies Notice from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, or legal requirements. When we do, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this Notice.
For more information about how we collect, use, and disclose personal information, please review our Privacy Notice.
