This Cookie Policy explains how Sparacino Realty Advisors, a California Corporation (“SRA,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on www.sparacinorealty.com (the “Website”). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them more efficient, and to provide information to the owners of the site.
“Cookies” in this policy also refers to similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, local storage, and session storage that may be used to collect information about your interaction with our Website.
2. Our Approach to Cookies
We take a minimal, privacy-first approach to tracking. Our Website is designed to function without dropping marketing cookies, advertising cookies, or cross-site trackers. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any third-party advertising network on this Website.
The only cookies we use are those strictly necessary for the Website to function (such as remembering your cookie consent choice or preserving form submissions) and, optionally, anonymous statistics that do not identify you personally.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Website to function properly. They cannot be disabled in our systems and are usually only set in response to actions you take, such as submitting a form or recording your cookie consent preference.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Provider |

| complianz_consent_status | Records your cookie consent preference so the banner does not reappear on every page. | 365 days | Sparacino Realty (first-party) |
| complianz_policy_id | Tracks which version of the cookie policy you consented to. | 365 days | Sparacino Realty (first-party) |

| frm_form_* | Set by Formidable Forms when you start filling out a contact or newsletter signup form, to preserve your input if the page reloads. | Session | Sparacino Realty (first-party) |
Anonymous Statistics (No Cookies)
We use a privacy-respecting analytics tool called Umami to understand how visitors use our Website in aggregate. Umami is self-hosted on our own infrastructure and is configured to be cookieless and fully anonymous:
- It does not set any cookies on your device.
- It does not track you across other websites.
- It does not store your full IP address.
- It generates a daily-rotating, anonymous visit hash that cannot be used to identify you personally.
Because this analytics service does not use cookies and does not collect personal data, it does not require your consent under the GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, or similar privacy laws. However, we disclose its use here in the spirit of full transparency.
Marketing & Advertising Cookies
We do not use marketing or advertising cookies on this Website. We do not use Google Ads, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, or any other advertising network. We do not retarget visitors. We do not sell visitor data.
4. Third-Party Services and Data Processors
While our Website itself does not embed third-party tracking scripts, we use the following third-party service providers (“processors”) to operate our business. These providers may process information about you when you interact with us through forms or email, but they do not drop cookies on our public Website:
- Amazon Web Services (AWS) — Hosting infrastructure for our Website, email delivery, and database. Located in the United States. AWS Privacy Notice
- Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) — Historical email marketing platform. Located in France/EU. Brevo Privacy Policy
- Mautic — Self-hosted marketing automation running on our own infrastructure (AWS). No third-party data sharing.
- Google Workspace — Email and document collaboration for our internal business operations. Google Privacy Policy
- Cloudflare — DNS resolution for our domain. We do not use Cloudflare’s proxy or analytics on the public site.
5. How to Manage or Withdraw Your Consent
You have several ways to manage cookies and your consent:
Through Our Cookie Banner
When you first visit our Website, you are presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to Accept, Refuse, or customize your preferences. You can revisit your choice at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in our footer (or by clearing your browser cookies and reloading the Website).
Through Your Browser
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can configure your browser to refuse all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or notify you when a cookie is being set. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the Website from functioning properly.
For instructions on how to manage cookies in your browser:
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
We honor “Do Not Track” (DNT) and “Global Privacy Control” (GPC) browser signals where technically feasible. If your browser sends one of these signals, we will treat it as a request to opt out of any non-essential cookies and any sale or sharing of personal information under California law.
6. Children’s Privacy
Our Website is not directed at children under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
7. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our business practices. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting to the Website. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page indicates when this policy was last revised.
