This Privacy, Cookies, and Data Protection Policy applies exclusively to personal data COLLECTED through websites, web pages, portals, interactive features, applications, email, widgets, blogs, and their respective content, as well as social media sites and their respective content (collectively, the "Sites"), even when accessed via a computer, mobile device, or other devices.

Cookies
Like many companies, Alpha Flooring uses "cookies" and similar tools on the Sites to enhance their performance and improve your user experience.
What are Cookies?
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device. Cookies help analyze web traffic and allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, preferences, and dislikes by collecting and recording information about your choices. Some cookies may contain personal data, but most cookies do not collect personally identifiable information. Instead, they gather more general information, such as how users find and use our Sites or the general location of a user.
Why Do We Use Cookies?
Alpha Flooring may place cookies or similar files on your device for security purposes, to determine if you have visited the Sites before, if you are a new visitor, to facilitate navigation, and to personalize your experience when visiting our Sites. Cookies allow us to collect technical and navigation information, such as browser type, time spent on our Sites, and pages visited. Cookies also enable us to select which of our advertisements or offers are most appealing to you and display them when you are on the Sites. Cookies enhance your online experience by saving your preferences while visiting a specific site. In general, cookies help us provide a better Site experience by enabling us to monitor the pages you find useful and those you do not. A cookie does not grant us access to your device or any information about you other than the data you choose to share with us.
Types of Cookies We Use
The cookies used on our Sites can generally be divided into the following categories:
Session Cookies: These cookies are used "in-session" whenever you visit and then expire when you leave a site or shortly after. They are not permanently stored on your device, do not contain personal data, and help minimize the need to transfer personal data over the internet. These cookies can be deleted or refused, but doing so may impact performance and your experience using the Sites.
Tracking Cookies: These cookies allow us to recognize returning visitors to our Sites. By matching an anonymously generated identifier, a tracking cookie keeps track of where a user came from, which search engine they may have used, which link they clicked on, which keyword was used, and where they were located when accessing the Site. By monitoring this data, we can improve our Sites.
Analytical or Performance Cookies: These cookies analyze how the Sites are used and monitor their performance, enabling us to improve your experience. They help us tailor the content to reflect what users find most interesting and identify technical issues that may arise.
Can Cookies Be Blocked?
You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. However, disabling or rejecting cookies may cause some functionalities and services on our Sites to work improperly.
Data Collected Automatically
Whenever you visit or interact with the Sites, Alpha Flooring may use various technologies to automatically or passively collect information on how the Sites are accessed and used ("usage data"). Usage data may include browser type, operating system, pages visited, duration of visits, and the number of users visiting the Sites.
In the process of collecting usage data, Alpha Flooring may also automatically collect your IP address or another unique identifier ("Device Identifier") for your device. This information helps determine the general physical location of your device and understand where visitors come from.
