Cookie Policy
Last updated October 16, 2026
Effective date: October 16, 2026. This policy explains how AQ Marketing uses cookies and similar browser storage on this website.
What we use and why
- Security and website features: We use tools to check form submissions for bots, provide chat and the free-audit widget, display fonts and maps, and host the website.
- Analytics: We use tools to measure visits and website use, count page views, and connect form submissions to the ad or campaign that brought you here.
- Advertising and visitor identification: We use tools to measure advertising, recognize visitors across sites and devices, and try to identify otherwise anonymous visitors through partner identity networks.
- Cookie choices: Our cookie banner stores your choices. If you allow analytics, your browser may also send us a list of the names of cookies and similar storage it holds for this site, at most once a day. This does not include their contents. The list is not stored with anything that identifies you. We use it only to keep this policy accurate.
Tools, providers and storage duration
The table lists our tools and providers, their purposes, and the cookies or similar storage identified for them. Some tools use localStorage or sessionStorage rather than cookies. Some storage durations have not been verified. The listed cookie durations reflect the longest durations seen in visitor reports, where noted.

For the chat assistant, the session identifier and mute setting in localStorage remain until you clear your browser storage.
