Cookie Policy

Effective Date: September 4, 2026

​

Summer Shade Bookkeeping respects your privacy and is committed to being transparent about how information is collected and used when you visit our website.

​

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how cookies and similar technologies may be used on the Summer Shade Bookkeeping website, and the choices available to you.

​

What Are Cookies?

​

Cookies are small files or pieces of information that are stored on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. Cookies can help websites function properly, remember certain preferences, understand how visitors use a website, and improve the overall user experience.

​

Cookies may be temporary and deleted when you close your browser, or they may remain on your device for a longer period of time until they expire or are deleted.

​

How Summer Shade Bookkeeping Uses Cookies

​

Summer Shade Bookkeeping's website is hosted on Wix. Wix and certain technologies or services used through the website may use cookies and similar technologies for purposes such as:

​

  • Helping the website function properly

  • Maintaining website security

  • Remembering visitor preferences

  • Understanding how visitors interact with the website

  • Measuring website performance and traffic

  • Improving website functionality and user experience

  • Supporting features and services available through the website

  • ​

Some cookies are necessary for the website to operate and cannot be disabled through the website's cookie settings. Other cookies, such as analytics or marketing cookies, may be considered non-essential.

​

Wix explains that essential cookies are necessary for certain website functions, while non-essential cookies can include cookies used for analytics or personalized advertising.

​

Essential Cookies

​

Essential cookies help the website operate properly. They may be used for functions such as security, navigation, and basic website functionality.

​

Because these cookies are necessary for the website to function, they generally cannot be disabled through the website's cookie consent settings.

​

Analytics and Performance Cookies

​

If enabled on this website, analytics cookies may collect information about how visitors use the website, such as which pages are visited, how visitors navigate the site, and general website activity.

​

This information may be used to understand website traffic and improve the website's content, functionality, and user experience.

​

For example, Wix Analytics may use cookies to measure website visitors and sessions. If a cookie banner is enabled, Wix states that analytics data will not be collected until the visitor provides the applicable consent.

​

Third-Party Cookies and Services

​

Some features or services incorporated into the website may be provided by third parties. These third-party services may use their own cookies or similar tracking technologies.

​

Third-party services may include analytics, social media, embedded content, marketing tools, or other website functionality that may be added to the website from time to time.

​

The privacy and cookie practices of those third parties are governed by their own policies. Summer Shade Bookkeeping does not control the privacy practices of third-party providers.

​

Wix also notes that third-party applications and services may have their own cookie and tracking practices that are separate from Wix's own privacy practices.

​

Your Cookie Choices

​

Where required or appropriate, Summer Shade Bookkeeping may provide a cookie consent banner that allows you to choose whether to accept certain non-essential cookies.

​

Depending on the available settings, you may be able to accept all cookies, decline non-essential cookies, or select certain categories of cookies.

​

If you choose not to allow certain cookies, some website features or services may not function as intended.

Wix's current cookie consent system allows visitors to accept all cookie categories or manage categories such as functional, analytics, and marketing cookies.

​

You can also manage or delete cookies through the settings of your internet browser. Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their privacy or security settings.

​

Changes to Your Cookie Preferences

​

If a cookie consent banner or privacy settings tool is available on our website, you may use it to review or change your cookie preferences.

 

Where applicable, you may also withdraw consent for non-essential cookies through the available privacy settings.

​

Wix provides a privacy trigger that can allow visitors to revisit and change their cookie preferences after making an initial selection.

​

Changes to This Cookie Policy

​

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website, the technologies we use, applicable requirements, or our business practices.

​

When this policy is updated, the revised Effective Date will appear at the top of this page.

​

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically so you remain informed about how cookies and similar technologies may be used on our website.
