This describes how this website actually behaves. Have your attorney review it alongside the privacy policy before you rely on either.
The short version
This site does not advertise to you, does not profile you, and carries no analytics, no advertising pixels and no social tracking scripts. The only cookie we set ourselves is the one that remembers your answer to the cookie banner.
What we set
| Cookie | Purpose | How long |
|---|---|---|
lincoln_cookie_consent |
Remembers whether you chose "Accept all" or "Essential only", so the banner does not ask again. | 6 months |
wordpress_*, wp-settings-* |
Set by WordPress only if you sign in to administer the site. Ordinary visitors never receive these. | Session to 1 year |
What other companies set
Two pages embed content from other companies. Neither loads unless you accepted all cookies, or pressed the button on that specific embed:
- Google Maps — the map on the Contact page. Google sets its own cookies and receives your IP address. The address is also written out in plain text and links to Google Maps, so you never need to load the embed.
- JotForm — the income tax data form on the Client Data Sheet page. JotForm sets its own cookies and processes what you submit on our behalf. You can open the same form directly on their site instead.
Booking an appointment sends you to Square in a new tab. Anything Square sets happens on their site under their policies, not here. Our web fonts are served by Google Fonts, which does not set cookies but does receive the request for the font file.
Changing your mind
Use the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of any page to bring the banner back and choose again. You can also clear cookies for this site in your browser, which resets everything.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat that as "Essential only" and do not show the banner at all. You can still load an individual embed with its own button if you want to.
