Etl Farms, Inc. records explicit browser storage states under Google Consent Mode v2.

Effective Date & Document Authority

This tracking policy is effective from October 17, 2026. Etl Farms, Inc. operates commercial hauling rigs based in Pigeon, Michigan. We maintain zero hidden cookies, zero fingerprinting scripts, and zero continuous tracking trackers that follow you beyond our direct field transport inquiry services.

When advertising platforms or browser technologies change, this technical schedule is updated directly. The data controller is Etlfarms, trading at etlfarms.us from 6922 FILION ROAD, PIGEON, MI 48755-9724.

Storage Categories in Active Use

Our web servers and third-party advertising partners organize client-side data into three discrete functional classifications:

• Strictly Necessary Storage: Local tokens required to deliver core functionality. This includes the site_consent_v2 token that memorizes whether you accepted or refused cookies, anti-tamper security tokens, and the local session handle for the dispatch chat interface (lele4c8.php). These keys execute without prior consent because the site cannot function securely without them.
• Performance & Analytics Storage: Diagnostic tools that measure page load duration, server latency on zana1bf.php submissions, and high-level traffic aggregation across Huron County harvest corridors. Used to detect broken form fields or server timeouts.
• Advertising & Conversion Storage: Identifiers placed by paid advertising networks when you reach etlfarms.us through a sponsored search result. These cookies track whether an ad click generated a completed dispatch form or a phone call, allowing us to prevent redundant ad spend.

Itemized Cookie & Storage Inventory

Advertising Platforms & Click Parameters

Etl Farms, Inc. actively runs paid advertising on search engines and social platforms to secure grain hauling bookings during wheat, soybean, and corn harvest runs. Paid traffic is directed here from Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, and Meta Ads.

When you click one of our advertisements, the originating platform appends a verified query string parameter to the URL:

• Google Ads: Supplies the gclid token to monitor keyword conversions and scale truck booking calls. Inbound campaigns running on google ads pass this parameter directly.
• Microsoft Advertising: Attaches the msclkid parameter on Bing commercial search placements.
• Meta Ads: Supplies the fbclid parameter on mobile and desktop feed placements.

These parameters (gclid, msclkid, fbclid) allow our systems to confirm that an inquiry originating from a search for "grain hauling pigeon mi" successfully reached our dispatch desk, preventing wasted advertising capital.

Consent Mode v2 Technical Mechanics

We implement Google consent mode v2 directly on page initialization. Under consent mode, before any third-party script loads, our site issues a hard command setting the default state of four critical parameters to denied:

• ad_storage='denied': Prohibits ad platforms from storing cookies on your device.
• ad_user_data='denied': Prohibits transmission of user identifiers to Google or Microsoft ad servers for advertising purposes.
• ad_personalization='denied': Blocks remarketing lists and tailored ad serving.
• analytics_storage='denied': Prevents analytics tags from writing persistent tracking cookies.

The four signals (ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization, analytics_storage) remain in this denied state by default. Only when you click "Accept Storage" in our cookie banner do these four flags update to 'granted'. If you decline, or if you revoke your consent later, all four parameters are set back to 'denied' immediately.

Granting, Changing, or Revoking Consent

When you first arrive on etlfarms.us, a compact banner docks at the foot of your screen offering two direct options: "Accept Storage" or "Deny All".

If you wish to change your preference after making a selection, you do not need to hunt through complex browser settings:

• Click the Manage Cookie Preferences link present in our site footer on every page.
• The preference dialog will reappear instantly, allowing you to switch between allowed and denied states.
• You can also clear the site_consent_v2 token from your browser's Developer Tools or site settings, which resets the prompt on your next visit.

Consequences of Refusal

If you click "Deny All" or browse with global privacy controls enabled, your browsing experience on etlfarms.us remains completely intact:

• What Continues Working: All page content, freight rate explanations, equipment lists, and bushel pricing tables display normally. The dispatch inquiry form on zana1bf.php operates at 100% capacity. The live dispatch support chat remains fully usable. Direct telephone and email links function without restriction.
• What Is Stopped: Ad conversion tags will not store local cookies on your device. Third-party advertising networks cannot associate your visit with your wider cross-web profile. gclid, msclkid, and fbclid query parameters are not used for profile building.

Third-Party Platform Privacy Policies

When consent is granted, advertising tags transmit signals to third-party ad networks. We encourage you to review their independent data handling policies:

• Google LLC (google ads & Analytics): Details on how Google processes partner data are available at policies.google.com.
• Microsoft Ireland Operations Ltd (Microsoft Advertising): Information regarding Microsoft ad data safeguards is available at privacy.microsoft.com.
• Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd (Meta Ads): Information on Meta conversion tracking and data practices is available through Meta's privacy center.
