Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Instant Restoration (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit instant-restoration.com (the “Site”).

Strictly necessary cookies are always active because the Site can’t function without them. All other cookies are subject to the choices you make in our cookie consent banner — and you can change those choices at any time using the “Cookie Settings” link in our footer, or through your browser settings (see Section 4).

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as preferences, login state, and analytics about how you use the site.

We use both first-party cookies (set by instant-restoration.com directly) and third-party cookies (set by services we integrate, such as Google).

2. Cookies We Use

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Site to function and cannot be disabled.

2.2 Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors interact with the Site. This helps us improve user experience and content.

Google Analytics may collect: IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, time on page, referring URL.

2.4 Functional Third-Party Services

These services support specific Site features:

• Google Fonts — Loads the JetBrains Mono font for display. Logs your IP address. (Our main font, Montserrat, is hosted on our own server and involves no third party.)
• WordPress emoji images — Standard WordPress emoji graphics load from s.w.org (the WordPress.org content network). Like any web request, it sees your IP address. No cookies are set.

3. Cookies We Do NOT Use

For transparency, the following common trackers are NOT installed on our Site:

• Facebook / Meta Pixel
• Microsoft Clarity
• Hotjar
• LinkedIn Insight Tag
• Bing / Microsoft Ads UET
• TikTok Pixel
• Live chat platforms (Tawk, Tidio, Crisp, Drift, Intercom)
• CallRail or dynamic phone number tracking
• Email marketing pixels (Mailchimp, Klaviyo, HubSpot)

The “Chat with us” button and “Book Now” widget on our Site are custom-built — they do not use third-party cookies.
