Cookie Policy for Mended Code
This Cookie Policy explains how Mended Code may use cookies, pixels, local storage, analytics tools, advertising tags, spam-prevention tools, and similar technologies when someone visits our website, submits a repair request, or interacts with our service pages.
1. Overview
Mended Code uses website technologies to keep the site functional, protect inquiry forms, understand how visitors find our pages, measure advertising performance, and improve the experience for people looking for urgent website repair, malware removal, hacked website support, redirect fixes, WooCommerce repair, contact form fixes, and tracking help.
Some technologies are necessary for the website to work safely. Others help us understand performance, improve content, or measure marketing campaigns. Where required or available, visitors may be able to accept, reject, or manage non-essential cookies through a consent banner.
2. What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are
Cookies are small files placed on a browser or device when someone visits a website. Similar technologies include pixels, tags, scripts, local storage, session storage, and device/browser identifiers.
These technologies can help a website remember choices, protect forms from spam, measure page visits, understand whether ads are working, and improve the reliability of important actions such as calls, form submissions, and service inquiries.
- Session cookies usually expire when the browser is closed.
- Persistent cookies may remain for a set period unless removed by the user or browser.
- First-party cookies are set by our website.
- Third-party cookies may be set by tools or services we use, such as analytics, advertising, security, or embedded services.
3. Types of Cookies and Technologies We May Use
The exact cookies and scripts used on mendedcode.com may change as we improve the website, update forms, configure analytics, add spam protection, or run advertising campaigns. The main categories are explained below.
| Category | Purpose | Examples of Use |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Required for safe and basic website operation. | Form submission, security checks, session reliability, spam reduction. |
| Analytics | Helps us understand website usage and page performance. | Page visits, traffic sources, engagement, device/browser trends. |
| Advertising / Measurement | Helps measure Google Ads or other campaign performance. | Conversion tracking, landing page performance, campaign source reporting. |
| Security / Anti-Spam | Helps protect inquiry forms and reduce bot activity. | Turnstile/captcha checks, suspicious submission reduction, abuse prevention. |
| Preference | Stores choices made by visitors where available. | Cookie consent choice, banner dismissal, interface preferences. |
4. Necessary and Essential Cookies
Necessary cookies and related technologies are used to keep the website working properly and securely. These may be active without separate opt-in because they support basic website operation.
Essential technologies may be used for:
- Keeping forms functional and reducing duplicate or broken submissions.
- Helping security tools detect bot traffic, spam, fake inquiries, or abuse.
- Remembering a visitor’s cookie consent choice or privacy preference.
- Supporting secure website delivery, caching, page loading, and basic session behavior.
- Protecting the website from technical abuse or suspicious automated requests.
5. Analytics Cookies
Analytics technologies help us understand how visitors use mendedcode.com. This helps us improve service pages, repair-focused content, page speed, navigation, forms, and the overall user experience.
Analytics may help us understand:
- Which pages receive traffic, such as website repair, malware cleanup, hacked website repair, redirect fixes, WooCommerce repair, contact form fixes, and tracking support pages.
- How visitors arrive, such as through Google Search, Google Ads, referrals, direct visits, or other campaigns.
- Whether visitors use mobile or desktop devices.
- How long pages take to load and whether users interact with important sections.
- Which forms, call buttons, or service pages may need improvement.
Analytics data is generally used in an aggregated or technical way, not to personally identify ordinary visitors.
6. Advertising and Measurement Cookies
Mended Code may use advertising and measurement technologies to understand whether Google Ads or other marketing campaigns are helping people find the right website repair service page.
Advertising and measurement tools may help us measure:
- Whether a visitor submitted a repair request after clicking an ad.
- Whether a visitor clicked a call button from a mobile device.
- Which landing pages generate useful inquiries.
- Which search terms, campaigns, or ad groups are connected to emergency repair requests.
- Whether our forms, buttons, and service pages are performing properly.
These technologies may involve tools such as Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, call tracking, or similar measurement systems. The exact setup may change as campaigns and website tracking are updated.
7. Security, Captcha, and Anti-Spam Technologies
Because Mended Code accepts website repair requests through forms, we may use security and anti-spam technologies to reduce fake submissions, bot traffic, malicious requests, and automated form abuse.
These tools may check technical signals such as browser behavior, device/browser characteristics, IP-related signals, interaction patterns, or other security indicators. They help keep our inquiry forms usable for real business owners who need urgent website help.
- Spam-prevention tools may run before or during form submission.
- Security tools may help distinguish human users from automated bots.
- Abuse-prevention systems may block suspicious requests or reduce repeated fake submissions.
- Some security tools are necessary for protecting the website and forms.
8. Third-Party Cookies and Services
Some cookies or related technologies may be placed or read by third-party providers we use for website operation, analytics, advertising, security, form protection, or service delivery.
These may include, depending on our active website setup:
- Google Analytics, Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, and Google Search Console-related measurement tools.
- Cloudflare Turnstile or other captcha/spam-prevention tools.
- Hosting, CDN, security, caching, or performance services.
- Email delivery, SMTP, form processing, CRM, call tracking, or lead notification services.
- Embedded content or external links if added to the website in the future.
Third-party providers may process data according to their own privacy policies, cookie policies, and service terms. Mended Code does not control the internal data practices of those third-party platforms.
9. How You Can Manage Cookies
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block cookies, delete existing cookies, clear site data, or limit third-party cookies.
Common browser controls may include:
- Blocking all cookies or only third-party cookies.
- Deleting cookies and site data after a session.
- Clearing cookies for a specific website.
- Using private or incognito browsing mode.
- Using browser privacy settings, extensions, or ad blockers.
If you block or delete cookies, some website functions may behave differently. For example, a cookie banner may reappear, analytics may not count your session accurately, or some security checks may need to run again.
10. Cookie Consent Choices
Where a cookie banner or consent tool is available, you may be able to choose whether to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or manage categories such as necessary, analytics, and marketing.
Necessary cookies may remain active because they support website security, form protection, consent storage, or basic functionality. Analytics and marketing cookies may be controlled based on available consent choices and applicable settings.
- Accept All: allows necessary, analytics, and marketing/measurement technologies where configured.
- Reject Non-Essential: keeps necessary technologies but limits analytics and marketing where configured.
- Manage Preferences: allows visitors to choose categories where the banner supports category-level control.
11. Do Not Track and Browser Signals
Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” or similar privacy signals. Because there is no single universal industry standard for how every website must respond to these signals, our website may not respond to every browser signal in the same way.
Visitors can still use browser cookie controls, privacy settings, ad blockers, or available consent banner choices to manage cookies and tracking technologies.
12. Updates to This Cookie Policy
Mended Code may update this Cookie Policy as our website, forms, analytics, advertising, security tools, or consent setup changes.
The “Last updated” date at the top of this page shows when this Cookie Policy was last revised. Continued use of the website after updates means the revised Cookie Policy applies going forward.
