Optional Google Analytics
Analytics is off until you choose “Allow analytics” in the preferences below. Declining does not change the directory or your ability to call a company. We also keep analytics off when your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control.
If you opt in, Google Analytics receives page visits, Call-link clicks, cookie identifiers, and technical information about your browser and device. Google may derive approximate location from your connection. We use this to understand which county pages are useful. A click is not evidence of a connected call, a quote, or a completed job.
Our events identify the public page, state, county or metro, an opaque listing identifier, and the phone-source quality. We do not send the dialed number, business contact name, URL query strings or fragments, free-text input, or referring-page URLs. Automatic form and outbound-link measurement is disabled. We do not enable Google Signals or personalized advertising.
Google Analytics uses first-party cookies named _ga and _ga_CSBR56KHBE, configured to expire after 30 days. Your allow/decline preference is stored in this browser for up to 180 days. If browser storage is unavailable, your choice may apply only until the page is closed or reloaded.
You can decline later using “Analytics preferences” at the bottom of any page. This stops future analytics collection from this browser and clears this site’s Analytics cookies; it does not delete information already sent to Google. Clearing browser storage also clears your saved preference.

Hosting and direct calls
Cloudflare delivers the website and may process connection and security information needed to provide that service. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy. Choosing no analytics does not prevent ordinary website delivery and security processing.
Call links open your device’s phone app with the public listing number. We do not forward or record calls, collect quote-request forms, or share homeowner contact details with pumpers. Information you provide directly to a company is handled by that company.
