Cookie Policy

Last updated: November 2, 2026

This policy explains how Authority One Design, LLC uses cookies and similar browser storage on authorityonedesign.com.

Your choice

Essential website functions remain available without accepting optional Statistics or Marketing. Google Analytics and our optional source tracking stay off until you accept Statistics. The Meta Pixel stays off until you accept Marketing. We use this opt-in approach for every visitor.

You can accept or decline optional Statistics and Marketing separately through the consent banner. Choose View preferences, make your selection and save it. To change your choice later, use Cookie preferences. Declining either category does not prevent you from submitting a form or requesting a free guide.

Essential website storage

Some browser storage helps the website remember your consent choice, provide requested library access, and avoid showing the same guide offer repeatedly. These functions are separate from Google Analytics.

  • Complianz stores your consent choices in cookies.
  • The library remembers that you have completed a guide request, so you can continue browsing its resources.
  • The website remembers when a guide offer has been shown or dismissed, to limit repeated popups.

Clearing this storage can reset those choices or bring back a guide offer.

Optional Statistics and source tracking

When you accept Statistics, Google Analytics helps us understand visits, page use, clicks and successful requests. Google may use cookies to distinguish visits. Google’s handling of this information is explained in Google’s Privacy Policy.

We also use our own browser storage to remember campaign links and where you clicked a website button. For example, this can help us see whether a guide led someone to request a free homepage preview.

StoragePurposeHow long it is valid
aod_attribution_v1
Local storage
Remember the first and latest campaign source and website button context.Up to 30 days after the last update. Expired information is removed when the tracking code next checks it.
aod_acquisition_v1
Local storage
Remember campaign source and guide or website-button context for source tracking.Up to 30 days after the last update. Expired information is removed when the tracking code next checks it.
aod_successful_lead
Session storage
Count a successful request once after a form redirect.Up to 10 minutes. It is removed after successful measurement, when consent is withdrawn, or when an expiry check finds it has expired. Browser session handling can clear it sooner.

When source information is available, it may be included with a submitted preview request so we can understand where that inquiry came from. Your name, email and other form answers are handled under our Privacy Policy.

Optional Marketing and Meta

If you accept Marketing, the Meta Pixel measures visits and free homepage preview requests associated with our Facebook and Instagram advertising. It can also help us prepare audiences for future ads. It sends website activity and technical information to Meta. It stays off if you decline Marketing, or if your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track.

The Pixel may use cookies named _fbp and _fbc to recognize a browser and connect an advertising click with website activity. The current Pixel code gives these cookies a default lifetime of up to 90 days when they’re written or refreshed. Your browser may keep them for less time. See Meta’s cookie information for more about its cookies.

Some Meta features can also use a cookie called _fbleid for a Lead event, or local storage called multiFbc to remember advertising click identifiers. Which items are used depends on Meta’s settings and your browser. Our Marketing withdrawal control clears these items on this website without reading their stored identifiers.

Meta also uses local storage called lastExternalReferrer and lastExternalReferrerTime. These remember whether an outside referral came from Facebook, Instagram, another website or no outside referral, along with the time that record was updated. Our Marketing withdrawal control removes these items too.

StoragePurposeHow long it can remain
_fbp and _fbc
Cookies
Recognize a browser and connect ad clicks with website activity.The current code uses a default of up to 90 days when written or refreshed. Browser limits and Meta’s configuration can change the actual lifetime. We expire the copies on this website when you withdraw Marketing permission.
_fbleid
Conditional cookie
Support a Meta Lead-event feature when it’s enabled.The current code gives this feature a default of up to 7 days. We also expire this cookie when you withdraw Marketing permission.
multiFbc
Conditional local storage
Remember a list of advertising click identifiers when this Meta feature is used.Local storage has no set expiry date. Your browser can remove it. Meta’s current code filters out entries older than 90 days when it updates the list. We remove this item when you withdraw Marketing permission. You can also clear it in your browser.
lastExternalReferrer and lastExternalReferrerTime
Local storage
Remember a referral category and when it was updated.Local storage has no automatic expiry date. Meta’s current code checks the record’s age and removes records older than 90 days when this part of its code runs. We remove both items when you withdraw Marketing permission. You can also clear them in your browser.
StoragePurposeHow long it is valid
aod_meta_preview_receipt_v1
Session storage
Remember one successful preview request during the redirect, so the Pixel can attempt to count it once. It contains a random event identifier, a time, an approved page path and a pending or dispatched status. It does not contain form answers.Up to 10 minutes. It is removed when Marketing permission is withdrawn or an expiry check finds it has expired. Browser session handling can clear it sooner.

Our custom request event does not include your name, email, phone number or form answers. The Pixel’s own requests can still include your IP address, browser and device information, page and referring addresses, cookie identifiers and advertising click identifiers. See Meta’s Privacy Policy for its handling of this information.

Changing or withdrawing consent

Use Cookie preferences to change your selection or withdraw permission. Withdrawing Statistics stops future optional statistics measurement and removes our stored source information. Withdrawing Marketing stops future Meta Pixel activity, removes our temporary marketing receipt and the Meta browser storage described above, and expires the Meta cookies this website can remove. These choices do not remove information already sent to Google or Meta, or information already submitted with a request.

You can also delete cookies and website storage in your browser settings. Deleting them may reset your consent choice and library access preferences.

Forms and other services

The website uses service providers to process forms, deliver requested emails, host content and operate its website assistant. Your Statistics and Marketing choices are separate from asking us to process your inquiry or deliver a guide. Submitting a preview request does not by itself subscribe you to promotional emails.

Third-party services may process information needed to provide the function you use. See our Privacy Policy for information about service providers, the website assistant, email communications, retention and your rights. Websites linked from this site have their own privacy practices.
