Buffalo Landscaping respects your privacy and is transparent about our use of cookies on our website at https://buffalonylandscaping.com/. This Cookie Policy outlines the types of cookies we use, their purposes, and how you can manage them. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our site, helping us enhance functionality, analyze traffic, and personalize your experience as a potential client interested in our Buffalo, NY-based services like garden installations or maintenance scheduling.
This policy supplements our Privacy Policy. By continuing to use our site, you consent to the use of cookies as described here, unless you adjust your browser settings.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies enable our website to remember your actions and preferences over time, improving usability. They do not typically contain personal data but can link to it. We use both first-party cookies (set by our domain) and third-party cookies (from partners like Google Analytics for site performance insights).
Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize cookies based on their purpose and lifespan:
- Essential Cookies: Necessary for core site functions, such as navigating pages or submitting a contact form for a free landscaping quote. These are session-based and deleted when you close your browser. Example: Maintaining your shopping cart if we add an online store for tools.
- Performance Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with our site, like which Buffalo neighborhood pages (e.g., Elmwood Village designs) are most viewed. Managed by tools like Google Analytics, these aggregate anonymous data and expire after 2 years.
- Functionality Cookies: Allow the site to remember choices, such as language preferences or form pre-fills for service inquiries. These persist for up to 1 year and enhance repeat visits for ongoing project tracking.
- Targeting/Advertising Cookies: Used sparingly to show relevant ads, such as promotions for seasonal snow plowing services on external sites. Set by partners like Facebook Pixel, these last up to 90 days and can be opted out of via the Network Advertising Initiative.
We do not use cookies for tracking across unrelated sites without consent.
How We Use Cookies
- Site Optimization: To load pages faster and fix issues, ensuring smooth browsing when viewing our portfolio of local hardscaping projects.

- Personalization: To suggest customized options, such as eco-friendly planting ideas based on past page views.
- Compliance and Security: To prevent fraud and meet standards like New York’s SHIELD Act for data protection.
Third-Party Cookies
Our site integrates services from trusted providers:
- Google Analytics: For traffic analysis (opt-out via tools.google.com).
