Cookie Policy

Last Updated: June 18, 2026

Rick Signs & Repairs ("Rick Signs," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on ricksigns.com (the "Website"). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can control them. Read this together with our Privacy Policy for the full picture of how we handle information.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit. They let the site remember things about your visit — preferences, settings, whether you are a returning visitor — so the site can work properly and we can understand how it is used.

Cookies do not contain personal identifiers like your name or address on their own. Some can be combined with other information to recognize a returning visitor.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for three main reasons: to make the Website work (basic functionality, form state, bot/spam protection), to understand how the Website is used (aggregated analytics that help us see which pages are useful and which are not), and to support a few embedded third-party services (Google Maps for our service area map, for example). We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles of you, and we do not sell cookie data to anyone.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Necessary Cookies

These are required for the Website to function. They are set by our hosting platform (Webflow) and by Google reCAPTCHA, which protects our contact form from bot submissions. Without these, the Website would either break or be overrun by spam.

Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous, aggregated information about how visitors use the Website. Google Analytics may set its own cookies under standard practice. We also use Google Search Console and Microsoft Webmaster Tools to monitor search performance and indexing; these are server-side integrations that do not set visitor-facing cookies.

Functional Cookies

A small number of cookies remember interface preferences, such as which dropdown sections you have expanded. These are not strictly required but make the Website easier to use.

Third-Party Service Cookies

Some embedded services on our Website set their own cookies:

  • Webflow — hosting and content delivery
  • JotForm — when an embedded JotForm appears on a page, JotForm may set cookies for form state and spam prevention
  • Google Maps — when our service area map loads, Google may set cookies to provide that map
  • Google reCAPTCHA — spam and bot protection on our forms
  • Google Analytics — traffic analysis cookies
  • Google Search Console / Microsoft Webmaster Tools — search and indexing diagnostics (server-side; typically no visitor-facing cookies)
  • Vimeo and YouTube — if an embedded video appears on a page, the video provider may set cookies to play the video, remember playback position, and measure engagement
  • Stripe — if a Stripe-hosted payment form or invoice link is displayed, Stripe may set cookies for fraud prevention and session handling

Each of these third parties has its own privacy and cookie practices, which we cannot control directly. Their policies are available on their respective websites.

4. How You Can Control Cookies

You have a few options. Every modern browser lets you view, delete, or block cookies entirely — search "cookie settings" plus your browser name (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) for the official instructions. Google offers a browser extension that lets you opt out of Google Analytics on every site you visit at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Browser extensions like uBlock Origin or Privacy Badger let you block trackers more aggressively. Note that blocking necessary cookies may cause parts of the Website (especially our contact form) to stop working.

5. Cookie Consent

We do not currently use a cookie consent pop-up because the cookies we use are limited to what is needed for the Website to function, basic anonymous analytics, and a handful of well-known third-party services. By continuing to use ricksigns.com, you accept the use of cookies as described in this policy. If laws or our practices change such that consent banners become required (for example, if we ever add advertising trackers), we will add one and update this policy.

6. Third-Party Cookies

As noted above, several embedded services may set their own cookies. We do not have control over those cookies, but we have chosen reputable providers and use only the features we actually need.

7. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time — typically when we add or remove a service that uses cookies. When we update it, we will change the Last Updated date at the top of this page.
