COOKIE POLICY

Cookie policy.

What cookies this site uses, who sets them, and how to change your choice.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small files that a website stores in your browser. They let a site recognise your device from one page or visit to the next.

2. The cookies we use

TYPE

WHAT IT DOES

SET BY

DEFAULT

Necessary

Keeps the site and the booking form working, and remembers your cookie choice for 12 months (hr_consent).

Handy Randy

Always on

Analytics

Counts visits and shows which pages are read, how far, and how fast they load. Kept on our own systems, never shared or sold. Uses no cookies: a random visit number in your browser’s storage instead. Switched off if your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control. Separately, our website host measures how fast pages load, with your browser, device and screen size; it uses no cookies for this and doesn’t follow those browser settings.

Handy Randy; Netlify for page speed

On, no cookies

Recordings

Records how you use the site (taps, clicks, scrolling and what’s on the screen) so we can see what’s confusing and fix it. Sets cookies, such as _clck and _clsk, that last up to a year. Never loads if your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control.

Microsoft Clarity

Off until you accept

Advertising

Would let Meta measure which of our ads lead to requests. Not in use at the moment.

3. Your choices

Necessary cookies are always on because the site can’t work without them. Recordings by Microsoft Clarity, the only other cookies, are off unless you tap Accept on our cookie notice, and you can change that at any time with the button below. Decline and the site works just the same. Your answer is kept in a small cookie (hr_consent) for 12 months, then we ask again. Your browser’s storage also keeps a few small things on your device: a random number for this visit (cleared when you close the tab), a random number that tells us whether you’ve been here before, and which ad or link first brought you here (kept for 30 days, and sent with your request if you make one). None of them contain your name or contact details. You can clear them at any time by clearing this site’s data in your browser, and if your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control we don’t count your visit at all. We don’t use advertising cookies at the moment. If we add advertising cookies, we will ask for your consent first, and you will be able to change your choice at any time.

4. Third parties

If we add advertising cookies from Meta, Meta would set its own cookies once you accept, and would handle that information under its own policies. We would not control Meta’s cookies. Our own visit counts are collected by this site itself and stored with the system we use to run Handy Randy. Netlify, our website host, measures how fast our pages load and handles that information under its own policies. If you accept recordings, Microsoft sets Clarity’s cookies (and may set its own on its own website) and handles the recordings under its own policies. If you change your mind, choose “Decline” with the button above.

5. What we don’t do

We don’t use your booking-form answers for advertising, and we don’t sell your information. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle the personal information you give us.

6. Changes and contact

If we add or remove a tool, we update this page. Last updated: November 2026. Questions: info@handyrandyhelps.ca.
