Overview

This Cookie Policy explains how SALT Landscape Architects uses cookies and similar technologies on its website. It is intended to give visitors a clear, plain-English explanation of what cookies are used, why they are used, and what choices visitors have.

SALT’s website is primarily informational. SALT does not use contact forms, newsletter sign-up tools, user account functionality, session-based logins, or other direct data-collection features on the website. SALT uses Google Analytics for basic page-view and site-use reporting. Analytics cookies are blocked unless and until the visitor affirmatively accepts them through the website’s cookie banner.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on a visitor’s device when they visit a website. Cookies can help a website function properly, remember preferences, measure traffic, or support advertising and marketing activities.

Cookies may be set by:

• SALT Landscape Architects directly (“first-party cookies”); or
• third-party service providers whose tools appear on or support the website (“third-party cookies”).

Similar Technologies

Cookies are not the only technology that can collect information about how a website is used. Similar technologies include pixels, tags, web beacons, scripts, software development kits, and browser storage such as local storage and session storage. These technologies can operate without setting a traditional cookie, and a scan that looks only for cookies will not always find them.

Where this Cookie Policy refers to cookies, it should be read to include these similar technologies. Other than the Google Analytics tag, which loads only after a visitor accepts analytics cookies, SALT does not use pixels, tags, beacons, software development kits, or similar tracking technologies on the website.

Categories of Cookies

SALT uses strictly necessary cookies and analytics cookies on the website. Each category is described below.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the website to operate properly. On this website, they maintain a temporary server session and remember each visitor’s cookie choice.

Because these cookies are necessary for the website to function, they load automatically and do not require consent.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies help the website remember visitor settings or preferences.

SALT does not use functional cookies on the website.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help SALT understand how visitors use the website, such as which pages are visited, how long users stay on pages, and how visitors navigate the site. SALT uses Google Analytics for this purpose.

Analytics cookies are not placed on a visitor’s device unless and until the visitor accepts them through the cookie banner.

If a visitor declines analytics cookies, analytics cookies do not load.

Marketing or Advertising Cookies

Marketing or advertising cookies are used to track users across websites, build profiles, or support targeted advertising and remarketing.

SALT does not use marketing or advertising cookies on the website. If SALT later decides to add them, it will update this Cookie Policy and the related consent mechanisms before doing so.

How SALT Uses Cookies

SALT uses cookies only to:

• keep the website functioning properly;
• remember consent choices;
• support basic technical operations;
• understand aggregate website traffic and usage patterns through Google Analytics; and
• improve website performance and user experience.

SALT does not use cookies for targeted advertising, cross-site behavioral profiling, or the sale of personal information.

Consent Choices

SALT’s cookie banner gives visitors meaningful choice.

• Strictly necessary cookies load automatically because the website requires them.
• Analytics cookies are blocked by default and load only after the visitor clicks Accept All or turns on Performance and Analytics under Manage Preferences.
• Clicking Reject Non-Essential, closing the preferences window, or ignoring the banner leaves analytics cookies off, and the full website remains available.
• Accepting and rejecting are presented with equal prominence, and no optional cookies are preselected.

Managing Cookies and Your Choices

You can manage cookies in several ways.

• Through the website’s cookie banner, where you can accept or decline analytics cookies and change that choice at any time using the Cookie Preferences link in the website footer.
• Through your browser settings, which generally allow you to block cookies, delete cookies already stored, or receive a warning before a cookie is placed. Blocking all cookies may affect how some websites function.

Industry opt-out tools operated by the Digital Advertising Alliance, the Network Advertising Initiative, and AppChoices apply to interest-based advertising. Because SALT does not use advertising or marketing cookies on the website, those tools are not relevant to this website at present. If SALT later adds advertising technologies, this Cookie Policy will be updated to describe them and the choices available.

Google Analytics

SALT uses Google Analytics to collect limited information about how visitors use the website, such as:

• pages visited;
• approximate geographic region;
• device and browser information;
• referral sources; and
• general website engagement metrics.

Google Analytics works through cookies that help measure traffic and usage. SALT uses Google Analytics only for basic page-view and site-use reporting.

Google Analytics cookies are Analytics cookies. They are disabled by default, are set only after consent is given through the cookie banner, and are listed in the table below. SALT does not use Google Analytics advertising features, Google Signals, remarketing, audience building, session replay, or heatmapping.

Cookie Table

The cookies below are the cookies used on the website. SALT will update this table as the website changes over time.

Cookie Name	Provider	Category	Purpose	Duration	Consent Required?
PHPSESSID	SALT (first party)	Strictly Necessary	Maintains a temporary server session so the website loads and functions correctly during a visit	Session, expires when the browser closes	No

_ga_61948LNNVJ	Google	Analytics	Maintains analytics session state for the Google Analytics property	Up to 2 years	Yes

 

Third-Party Services

Google Analytics is the only third-party service that sets cookies through the website. Video files shown on the site are served directly rather than through a third-party player, and the site does not embed social media feeds or maps. The website’s fonts are delivered by Adobe Fonts, and a carousel stylesheet is delivered through the unpkg content delivery network. These services receive standard technical information, such as IP address and the page requested, when a page loads, but they do not set cookies.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

SALT may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the website, applicable law, vendor tools, or cookie practices. When SALT makes changes, it will revise the Effective Date and the Last Updated date above.
