Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Empire ProServe, LLC (“Empire ProServe,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at empireproserve.com. It describes what cookies are, which ones we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, both available at empireproserve.com.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and collect information about how you interact with the site.
Cookies can be:
- First-party cookies — set directly by empireproserve.com
- Third-party cookies — set by external services operating on our site (e.g., Google, Microsoft)
- Session cookies — temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser
- Persistent cookies — cookies that remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them
Cookies do not contain your name, email address, or payment information. They store anonymous or pseudonymous identifiers used to recognize your browser or session.
2. What We Do Not Use
We do not use the Meta Pixel. Our Meta advertising attribution is handled exclusively through the Meta Conversion API (CAPI), which operates server-side and does not place any cookies on your browser.
Our customer relationship management (CRM) system operates entirely server-side and does not place cookies on your device. No social media tracking pixels from Meta, TikTok, or similar platforms are active on our website.
3. Cookies We Use
The following cookies are currently active on empireproserve.com:
3.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function. They cannot be disabled without affecting core website functionality.

| wp-settings-* | WordPress | Stores user interface preferences for the admin panel | 1 year | Essential |
| forminator_* | Forminator (WPMU DEV) | Manages form submission state and validation across multi-step forms | Session | Essential |
3.2 Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. The data collected is aggregated and anonymized — it does not identify you personally. We use this information to improve our website performance and user experience.
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics 4 | Distinguishes unique users by assigning a randomly generated number as a client identifier | 2 years | Analytics |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics 4 | Persists session state and tracks pageviews for GA4 reporting | 2 years | Analytics |

| _clsk | Microsoft Clarity | Connects multiple page views by a user into a single Clarity session recording | 1 day | Analytics |
3.3 Marketing Cookies
These cookies are used to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns on Google Ads. They help us understand which ads lead to bookings and optimize our ad spend. No personally identifiable information is shared with advertisers through these cookies.
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| _gcl_au | Google Ads | Used by Google AdSense to experiment with advertisement efficiency across websites using their services | 3 months | Marketing |
| _gac_* | Google Ads | Contains campaign related information. If you have linked your Google Analytics and Google Ads accounts, Google Ads website conversion tags will read this cookie | 90 days | Marketing |
4. Server-Side Tracking
In addition to client-side cookies, we use server-side tracking technologies that operate without placing cookies on your browser:
- Meta Conversion API (CAPI) — We send conversion events (such as form submissions) directly from our server to Meta’s advertising platform. This does not use cookies and does not interact with your browser. Hashed versions of contact information may be transmitted for attribution matching.
- Google Ads Server-Side Conversion Tracking — Certain conversion events may be transmitted server-side to Google’s advertising platform for campaign attribution.
Server-side tracking allows us to measure advertising effectiveness more accurately while minimizing the number of third-party scripts running in your browser.
