This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar browser storage technologies are, exactly which ones fieldselpaso.com uses, and how you can control them. In short, our website uses a single, essential browser storage item to remember your cookie choice, and it does not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party analytics.
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy applies to fieldselpaso.com (the "Site"), the informational website for The Fields, a residential subdivision in El Paso, Texas, marketed by EP Riverbend Development ("we," "us," or "our"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains more broadly how we collect and use personal information, and our Terms of Use, which govern your use of the Site.
We have built the Site to respect your privacy by default. We host our fonts and scripts on our own Site rather than loading them from third-party services, we do not participate in advertising networks, and we do not run analytics tools unless and until we tell you and ask for your consent.
2. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
2.1 Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer, phone, or other device when you visit it. Cookies are sent back to the website with each subsequent request, which allows the website to recognize your device. Cookies can be "first-party" (set by the website you are visiting) or "third-party" (set by a different domain, such as an advertising or analytics provider). They can also be "session" cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
2.2 Local storage and similar technologies
Local storage (sometimes called "web storage") is a feature of modern web browsers that allows a website to save small pieces of information on your device. Unlike cookies, information in local storage is not automatically sent to the website's server with each request; it stays in your browser and can be read only by pages from the same website. Local storage persists until it is deleted by the website, by you, or by your browser settings.
Other similar technologies include session storage, pixel tags (also called web beacons), and device fingerprinting techniques. In this Cookie Policy, we use the word "cookies" broadly to include cookies, local storage, and similar technologies, unless we say otherwise.
2.3 Essential and non-essential technologies
Essential (or "strictly necessary") technologies are those required for a website to function or to provide a service you have specifically requested, such as remembering a privacy choice you have made. Non-essential technologies include those used for analytics, personalization, advertising, or social media features. Where required by law or where we believe it is appropriate, we ask for your consent before using non-essential technologies.
3. What the Site Uses
The Site uses only one browser storage item, and it is essential to honoring your privacy choices. The Site does not set any HTTP cookies of its own for tracking, advertising, or analytics purposes.
| Name | Type | Provider | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
tf_cookie_consent |
Local storage | fieldselpaso.com (first party) | Records the choice you make in the cookie consent banner so the banner is not shown again on every page and so your preference can be respected. | Persists until you clear your browser storage or change your choice | Essential |
The value stored in tf_cookie_consent reflects your consent choice only. It does not contain your name, email address, telephone number, or any other information that identifies you, and it is not transmitted to our servers or to any third party.
3.1 What the Site does not use
For clarity, the Site does not use any of the following:
- advertising or marketing cookies, retargeting cookies, or cookies from advertising networks;
- third-party analytics cookies or scripts;
- social media tracking pixels, "like" buttons, or embedded social media widgets that set cookies;
- third-party font services, such as externally hosted web font libraries, that could log your visit;
- cross-site tracking or device fingerprinting techniques; or
- storage items for display preferences, such as a
tf_themeitem. The Site does not set or read any such item.
3.2 The construction budget and mortgage estimator
The Site's construction budget and mortgage estimator performs its calculations entirely within your browser. The values you enter are held temporarily in the page while you use it. They are not saved to cookies or local storage by the estimator, and they are not transmitted to us or to anyone else.
3.3 The contact form and homesite inquiry tool
Our contact form and homesite inquiry tool do not set cookies. When you choose to submit a form, the information you enter is sent to us so that we can respond, as described in our Privacy Policy.
3.4 Server logs
Although not cookies, the servers that host the Site automatically process basic technical information, such as your IP address and browser type, whenever a page is requested. This information is used to deliver and secure the Site. Please see our Privacy Policy for more information.
4. Your Consent and How to Withdraw It
When you first visit the Site, a cookie consent banner explains our use of browser storage and lets you make a choice. Your choice is saved in the tf_cookie_consent local storage item so that we do not ask you again on every page.
Because the Site currently uses only essential storage, your choice does not change how the Site functions today. However, recording your choice ensures that if we ever add non-essential technologies, such as analytics, they will be activated only for visitors who have agreed to them.
You can review or change your choice at any time by selecting the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of any page on the Site. This reopens the consent banner, where you can update your preference. You can also withdraw your choice by deleting the Site's stored data through your browser settings, as described below. If you do, the consent banner will appear again on your next visit.
5. Managing Cookies and Local Storage in Your Browser
Most web browsers allow you to view, manage, delete, and block cookies and site data. Because local storage is treated as "site data" in most browsers, the same controls generally apply to it. The steps below describe the general process in commonly used browsers. Exact menu names may vary depending on your browser version and device.
5.1 Google Chrome
On a desktop computer, open the Chrome menu (the three vertical dots in the upper-right corner) and choose Settings. Select "Privacy and security," then "Third-party cookies" or "Site settings" and then "Cookies and site data" (depending on your version). From there you can choose whether to allow or block cookies, and you can open the option to see all site data and permissions, search for fieldselpaso.com, and delete its stored data. On Android and iOS devices, open Chrome, tap the menu, go to Settings, then "Privacy and security," and use "Delete browsing data" to remove cookies and site data.
5.2 Mozilla Firefox
On a desktop computer, open the Firefox menu (the three horizontal lines in the upper-right corner) and choose Settings. Select "Privacy & Security." Under "Enhanced Tracking Protection," you can choose a level of protection or customize which cookies are blocked. Under "Cookies and Site Data," select "Manage Data" to search for fieldselpaso.com and remove its stored data, or select "Clear Data" to remove all cookies and site data. On mobile devices, open Firefox settings and look for "Data Management" or "Delete browsing data."
5.3 Apple Safari
On a Mac, open Safari, choose Safari in the menu bar and select Settings (or Preferences on older versions), then open the Privacy tab. Here you can choose to block all cookies, and you can select "Manage Website Data" to search for fieldselpaso.com and remove its stored data. On an iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app, scroll to Safari (or Apps and then Safari on newer versions), and choose "Clear History and Website Data," or open "Advanced" and then "Website Data" to remove data for individual websites. You can also turn on "Block All Cookies" in Safari's privacy settings.
5.4 Microsoft Edge
On a desktop computer, open the Edge menu (the three horizontal dots in the upper-right corner) and choose Settings. Select "Cookies and site permissions," then "Manage and delete cookies and site data." From there you can choose whether sites may save and read cookie data, block third-party cookies, and select "See all cookies and site data" to search for fieldselpaso.com and remove its stored data. You can also clear browsing data under "Privacy, search, and services." On mobile devices, open Edge settings, go to "Privacy and security," and choose "Clear browsing data."
5.5 Private browsing and other browsers
Most browsers offer a private or incognito mode in which cookies and local storage are deleted when you close the private window. If you use a different browser, please consult its help documentation for instructions on managing cookies and site data.
Please note that if you block or delete all site data, the Site will not be able to remember your consent choice, and the consent banner will appear each time you visit. Blocking storage will not otherwise prevent you from viewing the Site or using its features.
6. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
The Site does not engage in cross-site tracking, so a "Do Not Track" signal from your browser does not change how the Site operates. We treat a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information and targeted advertising. Because we do not engage in those activities, the Site functions the same way whether or not a GPC signal is present, but we will continue to honor GPC signals if our practices change. More information is available in our Privacy Policy.
7. Future Use of Analytics or Other Technologies
If we decide to add analytics or other non-essential technologies to the Site in the future, we will first update this Cookie Policy to describe each technology, its provider, its purpose, and how long it lasts. Where required by law or where we believe it is appropriate, those technologies will remain inactive until you give your consent through the consent banner, and you will be able to withdraw your consent at any time through the "Cookie settings" link in the footer.
8. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the Site, the technologies we use, or applicable law. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. If we make material changes, such as introducing non-essential cookies, we will provide a prominent notice on the Site and ask for your consent where required. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
