Cookie Policy
Last updated October 16, 2026
Effective date: October 16, 2026. This policy explains how Boston Landscape Co uses cookies and similar browser storage on this website.
What we use and why
Our website uses cookies and browser storage called localStorage and sessionStorage. These support website functions, remember your cookie choices, support chat, measure visits, and help identify visitors for advertising. Some services also receive information when your browser requests content, even without setting a cookie.
We automatically collect your IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, and time on the website. We use visitor identification tools and share data for targeted advertising.
Your cookie choices
Analytics and advertising tools stay off until you either click "Accept all" on the cookie banner or scroll the page while the banner is showing. Scrolling while the banner is showing counts as accepting those tools.
Use the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of any page to switch analytics or advertising cookies off, or back on, at any time.
Our website does not respond to browser Do Not Track signals. We honor Global Privacy Control signals. You can also change your analytics and advertising cookie choices through "Cookie settings" at the bottom of any page.
Tracking across other websites
Yes. Other parties may collect personal information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you use our website. Our visitor identification service collects activity across other websites and tries to match your browser to identity data held by partner networks. LiveIntent also collects activity across other websites and links browsers to identifiers used for advertising.
Embedded content and chat
Some pages include Elfsight widgets. Your browser loads this embedded content from Elfsight, which receives your IP address and browser details. The elfsight_viewed_recently cookie has no verified duration. Website fonts, images, files, and code libraries may also load from the outside services listed below.
The chat assistant uses browser storage for its session, dismissed attention prompts, and mute setting. Anthropic generates replies from the messages you type. We and our marketing agency, AQ Marketing, keep your chat messages and any details you provide. Those details are also sent to our LeadConnector / HighLevel CRM so we can respond.
