Cookie Policy & Site Transparency

At shinepathy, we view our website with the same clarity we bring to a post-construction clean. This document outlines the technical machinery behind our site—how we track, store, and secure your session. It is a technical log, not a marketing promise.

Technical Purpose & Category Breakdown

We categorize cookies like we categorize cleaning tasks: strictly necessary, functional, and analytical. This ensures the site operates with the precision of our scheduling system, without wasting resources on non-essential functions.

Cookie Log & Function

Strictly Necessary

Session Integrity & Forms

These cookies are fundamental to the site’s operation. They maintain your session state (e.g., keeping a job ticket draft active while you fill out fields) and enable core security functions like CSRF tokens. No consent is required for these, as the site cannot function without them.

Functional

Preference Storage

These store non-essential preferences, such as your consent choice for analytics. They allow the site to remember your interactions with our content, streamlining future visits by pre-filling known data where appropriate.

Analytical

Performance & Usage

These help us understand how the site is used—identifying which service pages are most viewed, if the job ticket form is abandoned, and average session length. The data is aggregated and anonymized; it cannot be traced back to an individual.

Third-Party Services & Data Flow

Our site integrates essential services to function. Each integration is vetted for compliance and data handling, much like we vet our own cleaning supply vendors.

Abstract data flow diagram

Integration Map

Data flow between shinepathy.world and external services is one-way and encrypted via TLS.

Google Fonts

CDN

Served from Google's infrastructure. This may trigger a connection to Google servers. We use it only to load the Inter and Source Sans Pro fonts specified in our design system.

Google Maps

Optional

Only embedded on our Contact & Location page. It loads an iframe that may place cookies via Google's privacy policy. We do not use Maps for tracking.

Hosting & Analytics

First-Party

Core hosting provider. Any analytics we employ (e.g., page view counts) are anonymized and processed on our own servers, not shared with third-party networks.

Email Service

Transactional

Used exclusively for sending job ticket confirmations and contact form replies. No marketing emails are sent unless explicitly opted in.

Your Control & Browser Settings

While our global consent manager handles on-site preferences, you retain full control at the browser level. This is the most robust method for managing cookies across all websites you visit.
