Privacy Policy.

Last Updated: September 2026

Fose + McKay respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains the types of information we collect when you visit our website or contact us through the site, which services we use to run the site, and how we use and protect that information.

Information You Provide to Us

You may choose to provide personal information when you contact Fose + McKay through our website contact form, email, telephone call or other communication.

Our contact form asks for your name, email address, company or organization and a message. If you contact us another way, you may also share information such as your telephone number or job title, along with anything you choose to include in your message.

We use this information to respond to your inquiry, communicate with you, provide requested information and manage our business relationship.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website, certain technical information is collected automatically by our hosting provider’s servers, which keep standard access logs for security and troubleshooting, and by Google Analytics, which is described below.

This information may include your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring website, pages visited, approximate geographic information, date and time of access and information about how you interact with the website.

We use this information to understand how the site is used, improve performance and usability, measure our advertising, maintain security and diagnose technical problems.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. Our website uses these cookies:

  • Google Analytics (_ga and _ga_H6NCEHJH5P): tell visits apart so we can measure how the site is used. They expire after up to two years.
  • Google Ads (_gcl_au): helps us measure the results of our Google advertising. It expires after 90 days.
  • WordPress: our content management system sets sign-in cookies only for site administrators who log in. They are not set for visitors.

When Google’s services load, Google may also read or set its own cookies on Google domains, such as doubleclick.net, under Google’s privacy policy. Our contact form does not set cookies.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking the cookies above does not stop the website from working.

Analytics and Advertising Measurement

We use Google Analytics 4, a service provided by Google LLC, to understand how visitors find and use our website. It collects information such as pages viewed, time spent on the site, referring sources, device information and general geographic information.

Our Google Analytics account is linked to Google Ads. This lets us measure the results of our advertising, and it may allow Google to use information about your visit for advertising measurement and to build audiences for ads we run on Google’s services. Google handles this information under its own privacy policy. You can learn more at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

We use analytics information in aggregate to evaluate website performance, improve content and understand how visitors interact with the site. You can opt out of Google Analytics with Google’s browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout, and you can manage personalized ads from Google at myadcenter.google.com.

Contact Form and Spam Prevention

Information submitted through our contact form is stored in our website’s database and sent by email to our team so we can respond. It may be kept as part of our business communications.

We protect the form with a hidden field that automated spam programs tend to fill in. This check runs on our own website and does not send your information to a third-party spam-filtering or CAPTCHA service.

Third-Party Services and Embedded Content

Google Analytics and Google Ads measurement, described above, are the only third-party services that load on our pages. Our fonts, scripts and videos are served from our own website, and we do not embed maps, social media feeds or third-party video players.

The Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook icons on our site are ordinary links. Those companies do not receive information from our pages unless you click through to them, and their own privacy policies apply once you do. Fose + McKay does not control the privacy practices of third-party websites or services.

How We Use Information

We may use information collected through the website to:

  • Respond to questions, inquiries and requests
  • Communicate with clients, prospective clients, partners and other visitors
  • Operate, maintain and improve the website
  • Understand website traffic and usage
  • Measure the effectiveness of our advertising
  • Protect the website and our systems from misuse, fraud or security threats
  • Diagnose technical issues
  • Support our business operations
  • Comply with applicable laws and legal obligations

How We Share Information

Fose + McKay does not sell personal information collected through this website in exchange for money.

We share information with service providers that help us operate our website and business: our website hosting provider, Cloudways; Google, for analytics and advertising measurement; and the email and communications platforms our team uses to receive and answer your messages.

We may also disclose information when required by law, legal process or governmental request, or when reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of Fose + McKay, our clients, website visitors or others.

Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, maintain business and legal records, resolve disputes and meet applicable legal requirements.

Contact form submissions are kept in our website database and email until they are no longer needed for those purposes. Website backups may contain copies for a limited time. Google Analytics data is kept for the retention period set in our Google Analytics account.

Your Choices and Rights

You may choose not to provide personal information through the website, although doing so may limit our ability to respond to certain requests. You can also block or delete cookies and use the Google opt-out tools described above.

Depending on where you live, applicable privacy laws may provide rights regarding your personal information, including the right to request access, correction or deletion of certain information.

You may contact us if you have a question about information you have provided through this website.

Security

Fose + McKay takes reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information associated with the website, including an encrypted (HTTPS) connection to the site.

No website, network or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted through the Internet.

Children’s Privacy

This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through this website.

Links to Other Websites

Our website may contain links to websites operated by clients, partners, social networks or other third parties.

Fose + McKay is not responsible for the content, security or privacy practices of those external websites. We encourage visitors to review the privacy policies of third-party websites they choose to visit.
