How do we use cookie technology?
Cookies are a technology storage mechanism. Specific pieces of information, some of which may be personal, such as IP address, are contained within a cookie. Most often though, the cookie will contain anonymous unique identifiers given to your web browser by a web server. The browser stores the cookie on your device. The cookie, and any information contained within it, is sent back, via a web beacon, to the server each time your browser requests that site.
Freyenhagen Construction’s website uses cookie technology. The information within the cookie might be about you, your preferences or your device, but mostly, cookies are used to make the site work as you would expect.
We generally employ four types of cookies:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the website to function and are always active. They help maintain the security and efficiency of the site.
- Performance Cookies: These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic to our sites so we can improve the performance of the site. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. All information these cookies collect is aggregate and anonymous until you engage our site.
- Functional Cookies: These cookies allow our website to provide you with customized services or personalization and increase the quality of your online experience. These cookies may be set by us or a third party on our behalf. Any personally identifiable information collected and stored by these cookies is for our internal business purposes only.
- Targeting Cookies: Third parties may use cookies to recognize your device and display relevant advertisements on other sites. Personally identifiable information collected and stored by these cookies used by one or more third parties for targeting marketing. Additionally, social media cookies may be used by a range of social media services if you share our content with your friends and networks. They can track your browser across other sites and building up a profile of your interests. This may impact the content and messages you see on other websites you visit. If you do not allow these cookies, you may not be able to use or see these sharing tools. Where legally required, your consent will be required before allowing advertising and social media cookies to be active.

Clearing your browser’s cookies or toggling off cookies in the Cookie Settings link where such an option is available, are the only ways to change the Freyenhagen Construction cookie settings you may have previously elected or opted out of.
Do we use web beacons?
Web beacons (also known as web bugs, pixels and page tags) are the mechanism by which cookies, and their data, are transferred across the internet. In other words, web beacons and cookies work in conjunction with
each other to monitor the behavior of site visitors. Freyenhagen Construction uses web beacons on its website and in email communications for aggregate statistical purposes and marketing conversion tracking.
The only way to decline the use of web beacons as part of email delivery is to opt out of receiving emails from Freyenhagen Construction entirely.
How do we respond to “Do Not Track” signals?
Freyenhagen Construction does not respond to “Do Not Track” signals. On our website, notification is provided concerning cookies and tracking of information. For website users from California, where information may be disclosed to a third party who is not a service provider or contractor, consent is required prior to disclosing such information.
How do we secure the information we collect?
Freyenhagen Construction has implemented information security standards that include physical, technical and administrative safeguards. The technology we use to protect your personal information is reviewed and improvements are implemented as needed.
Authorized employees and representatives are permitted to access and use information about you for approved business purposes. All employees and representatives must complete all required training to ensure they understand and follow established policies and laws when using your information.
Your information may be accessible from service providers and contractors for the purpose of enabling them to provide the services we have contracted with them for. Our website service providers and contractors have an obligation to maintain the confidentiality of the information they receive from us, except where disclosure is required by law.
Do we use encryption technology?
Several areas on Freyenhagen Construction’s website have been built to handle confidential information. These pages utilize Internet methods known as Secure Socket Layers (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS). With either SSL or TLS, pages are sent to you in an encrypted (scrambled) format and any information you submit to Freyenhagen Construction is also encrypted. Encryption is the transformation of data into a form unreadable by anyone who doesn’t have the appropriate decryption key. This method of transferring confidential data is considered the industry standard for the Internet.
For added security, close your browser after interacting with Freyenhagen Construction’s website. This ensures that open sessions are terminated. While you are on the Internet, your browser is using part of your computer’s memory. If your browser is left open, it may be possible for someone using your computer to go back and use this memory to access your information. By closing your browser this action will clear this memory. Another action to consider would be to clear your browser’s temporary files and history.
For your security, we highly recommend maintaining an updated browser version that supports SSL or TLS. Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Apple Safari are four browsers that support these encryption techniques. A solid lock graphic will display when the SSLor TLS mode is engaged to reflect the connection is encrypted. If you are not sure if your browser is compatible, check with your service provider.
Freyenhagen Construction has taken steps to make all information you provide to us as secure as possible against unauthorized access and use, alteration and/or loss. You should keep in mind that no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure and any information disclosed online can potentially be intercepted and used by unauthorized parties.
