Cookie Policy

Effective Date: August 6, 2026
Last Updated: August 6, 2026 (originally published July 28, 2026)

1. Introduction

The Suit Doctor LLC (“Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or “The Suit Doctor”) operates the website located at thesuitdoctor.com (the “Website”). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar tracking technologies are, how we use them on our Website, the types of information we collect through them, how that information may be used, and your rights and choices regarding cookies.

This Cookie Policy is intended to be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy. Please review both documents to understand our complete data collection, use, and protection practices.

By accessing and using our Website, you consent to the practices described in this Cookie Policy, unless you exercise your choice to opt out as described below. If you do not agree to our use of cookies as described herein, please do not use this Website and adjust your browser cookie settings to decline cookies.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other device (collectively, “Device”) when you visit a website. Cookies typically contain a unique identifier and the name of the website that created the cookie. They allow websites to recognize you when you return and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences and login information.

Cookies are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide website owners with information that helps them improve their services. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser settings to decline or manage cookies (see Section 7 below).

Important distinction: Cookies are stored on your Device and can only retrieve the data that you have previously allowed to be stored. Cookies cannot access any other information on your Device or from your computer system unless you have explicitly authorized that access.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use different types of cookies on our Website, which can be categorized as follows:

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are required for the Website to work safely and do not require your consent. Our Website uses one: a bot-management cookie named “__cf_bm”, set by our hosting and security provider Cloudflare, Inc. It distinguishes human visitors from automated traffic so that our Website is protected from bots and abuse. It expires after approximately thirty minutes and cannot be used to identify you personally.

Our Website has no user accounts, no login, and no shopping cart, so we do not set session identifier cookies or cross-site request forgery tokens of the kind used by e-commerce and membership websites.

3.2 Functional/Preference Cookies

Our Website does not use functional or preference cookies. We do not store a language preference, a display or appearance preference, a location or regional preference, a record of the pages or services you have viewed, or the contents of a form you started but did not submit. There are no settings on our Website for these cookies to remember.

If we add features of this kind in the future, we will update this Cookie Policy to describe them before doing so.

3.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Website by collecting and reporting information such as:

• Which pages are visited most frequently
• How users navigate through the Website
• Which links are clicked
• Whether errors occur during navigation
• Time spent on pages
• Geographic location of visitors (at the country/city level)
• Device type and operating system
• Bounce rates and conversion rates
• Session recordings, click maps, and scroll behavior (via Microsoft Clarity)

This information is used to optimize Website performance, improve user experience, and identify areas that may need updates or modifications.

Third-party providers: We use Google Analytics (Google LLC) and Microsoft Clarity (Microsoft Corporation) for analytics tracking. See Section 5 for more information about third-party cookies.

3.4 Marketing and Advertising Cookies

We advertise on Facebook and Instagram, and we use advertising technologies from Meta Platforms, Inc. (“Meta”) on our Website to measure whether that advertising works. These are not essential cookies, and you can opt out of them using the methods in Section 7.2.

Meta Pixel. The Meta Pixel runs on every page of our Website. When you load a page, it sends Meta a record of that page view together with your IP address, browser and device information, and Meta’s own cookie identifiers. It sets a first-party cookie named “_fbp” on your Device and reads Meta’s “_fbc” click identifier when you arrive from one of our advertisements. If you are logged in to Facebook or Instagram, or have used them on the same Device, Meta can connect this activity to your account.

Advanced matching. When you submit our contact form, the Pixel also sends Meta a hashed, irreversible version of your email address and of your first and last name, so that Meta can recognize you as someone who saw one of our advertisements. Meta receives the scrambled values and cannot read them back as your email address or name.

Meta Conversions API. When you submit our contact form, we also send a record of that submission to Meta directly from our servers, in addition to the information sent from your browser. This is a server-to-server transmission rather than a cookie, but it relies on the same identifiers and serves the same purpose, so we describe it here rather than bury it. That record contains the same hashed email address and hashed name, your IP address, browser information, and the Meta cookie identifiers described above.

What we do not send to Meta. We do not transmit your phone number, in hashed form or any other form. We do not transmit the content of your message, your SMS consent selection, or your email consent selection. Our contact form does not ask for your date of birth, gender, home address, or postal code, and the Meta matching settings that would transmit those categories are switched off, so they cannot begin collecting quietly if our form changes later. These are deliberate configuration choices, and the phone number exclusion in particular reflects the commitment in our Privacy Policy that mobile information is never shared for marketing purposes.

We do not use Google Ads conversion tracking, and we do not use any advertising network other than Meta. If that changes, we will update this Cookie Policy before doing so.

3.5 Third-Party Social Media Cookies

Our Website does not include social sharing buttons, embedded social media posts, comment widgets, or video embeds. The one social media technology present is the Meta Pixel described in Section 3.4, which does place a Meta cookie on your Device even though no Facebook or Instagram content is displayed on our pages. If we add other social media features in the future, we will update this Cookie Policy to describe them.

4. How We Use Cookie Information

The information collected through cookies is used for the following purposes:

• Website Availability and Security: To separate real visitors from automated traffic so the Website stays online and protected
• Analytics and Insights: To understand user behavior, traffic patterns, and Website performance
• Advertising Measurement and Audiences: To measure which of our Facebook and Instagram advertisements lead to appointment requests, and to show our advertisements to people who have visited our Website or who resemble our existing customers
• Fraud Prevention and Security: To detect and prevent fraudulent activity and protect our Website from security threats
• Compliance: To comply with legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations
• Customer Support: To assist you if you contact us with questions or concerns
• Improvement and Development: To test new features and improvements to our Website

We may combine information collected through cookies with other information we collect about you through other means (such as contact forms, email communications, or phone calls) to create a more complete profile of you for the purposes listed above.

5. Third-Party Cookies and Service Providers

We use trusted third-party service providers and partners to support our Website operations and marketing efforts. These third parties may place cookies on your Device to collect information about your browsing behavior and interactions with our Website and other websites.

5.1 Primary Third-Party Service Providers

This table reflects the third-party tools actually in use on our Website and will be updated if that changes. Meta is the only advertising vendor we use. We do not use ad exchanges, data brokers, or third-party audience marketplaces.

5.2 Important Information About Third-Party Cookies

• Vendor Control: We do not have complete control over third-party cookies. These companies have their own privacy policies and cookie practices, which may differ from ours.
• Data Sharing: By using third-party services, you consent to these vendors collecting data about your browsing behavior for their own purposes, which may include building user profiles and targeting advertising to you on other websites.
• Data Retention: Third-party vendors determine their own data retention policies. Some information may be retained for extended periods.
• Your Rights: You have the right to manage your preferences with third-party providers individually through their opt-out mechanisms (see Section 7).

6. Cookies and Personal Data

6.1 Is Cookie Data Personal Data?

Under privacy regulations including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), cookie data can constitute personal data when it:

• Can directly identify an individual (e.g., username stored in a cookie)
• Can be combined with other information to identify an individual (e.g., unique identifiers linked to your account)
• Reveals information about your behavior, preferences, or characteristics

6.2 Legally Required Disclosures

For International Visitors: See Section 10 below for how we handle visits from outside the United States, including the European Union and European Economic Area.

For California (CCPA/CPRA): If you are a California resident, you have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information and to limit our use of sensitive personal information. We do not sell personal information for money. We do use the Meta advertising technologies described in Section 3.4, and under the CCPA and CPRA that activity may qualify as “sharing” personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We disclose it as such rather than rely on a narrower reading, and you may opt out at any time using the methods in Section 7.2 or Section 9.3. We do not use sensitive personal information beyond what is necessary to provide our services.

For United States Generally: While there is no federal law that directly regulates the use of cookies, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has used Section 5 of the FTC Act to regulate the use of cookies to collect sensitive information. We comply with all applicable state privacy laws, including providing opt-out mechanisms where required. If you reside in a state with a comprehensive privacy law that grants cookie-related rights, we will honor those rights as required by law.

For Missouri Residents: Missouri does not currently have a comprehensive consumer data privacy law specific to cookies. However, under the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act (MMPA), Mo. Rev. Stat. § 407.020, businesses are prohibited from engaging in deceptive or unfair practices in connection with the sale or advertisement of merchandise. We are committed to transparency in our data collection practices and will not engage in deceptive practices regarding the use of cookies on our Website. Missouri residents also benefit from all federal protections described in this policy.

7. Your Cookie Choices and Control

You have multiple options to control, manage, and delete cookies on your Device:

7.1 Browser Settings and Controls

Most web browsers allow you to manage or block cookies through their settings:

• Chrome: support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647
• Firefox: support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-desktop
• Safari: support.apple.com/en-us/guide/safari/sfri11471/mac
• Edge: support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/manage-cookies-in-microsoft-edge-view-allow-block-delete-and-use-168dab11-0753-043d-7c16-ede5947fc64d
• Opera: help.opera.com/en/latest/web-preferences/#cookies

You can:

• Block all cookies
• Allow only first-party cookies
• Block third-party cookies
• Delete cookies when you close your browser
• View and manage individual cookies

Important: Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of our Website and prevent you from using certain features or services. Some essential features may not work properly if you disable all cookies.

7.2 Marketing and Advertising Cookies

The Meta advertising technologies described in Section 3.4 are the only marketing or advertising tools on our Website. You can opt out of them in any of the following ways:

• Meta directly: adjust your advertising preferences at facebook.com/adpreferences, which controls how Meta uses this information about you
• Block the technology: use a tracker-blocking browser extension, which prevents the Meta Pixel from loading at all. This is the most complete option. Turning on your browser’s tracking protection also helps, though note that the Pixel sets a first-party cookie, so blocking third-party cookies alone reduces but does not eliminate it
• Industry opt-out tools: Digital Advertising Alliance (optout.aboutads.info) and Network Advertising Initiative (optout.networkadvertising.org)
• Ask us: contact us using the information in Section 13 and we will exclude you from our advertising audiences and conversion measurement

Opting out will not limit your access to the Website or to our services in any way.

7.3 Global Privacy Control (GPC)

Our Website does not currently detect or automatically respond to Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signals. We are stating that plainly rather than implying otherwise: sending a GPC signal will not, by itself, stop the advertising technologies described in Section 3.4 from running. To opt out, use one of the methods in Section 7.2, or contact us using the information in Section 13 and we will honor your request. We are evaluating automatic GPC support and will update this section if we add it.

7.4 Cookie Management on Our Website

We do not currently display an on-site cookie consent banner or settings widget. You can manage cookies directly through your browser settings as described in Section 7.1, use the advertising opt-outs in Section 7.2, or contact us using the information in Section 13 if you have questions about a specific cookie.

7.5 Withdrawal of Consent

If you have previously consented to cookies and wish to withdraw your consent, you can:

• Clear cookies from your browser settings
• Contact us at contact@mail.thesuitdoctor.com to request withdrawal of consent
• Disable cookies in your browser settings

Changes to your cookie settings will take effect immediately, but previously set cookies will remain on your Device until they naturally expire or you delete them manually.

8. Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature. Currently, there is no agreed-upon standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. The Suit Doctor does not currently respond to DNT browser signals. However, you can use other methods described in Section 7 to control cookies and limit tracking.

9. California Residents (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA):

9.1 Right to Know

You have the right to request what personal information we collect, use, and share. This includes information collected through cookies.

9.2 Right to Delete

You have the right to request deletion of personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions.

9.3 Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing

You have the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not sell personal information for money. We do share information with Meta for advertising measurement and audience building as described in Section 3.4, and we treat that as “sharing” under the CPRA.

To opt out, email contact@mail.thesuitdoctor.com or call 816-429-0303 and tell us you want to opt out of the sharing of your personal information for advertising. No account, form, or identity verification is required for this particular request. We will process it within fifteen (15) business days and confirm when it is done.

What we will do: stop sending your information to Meta, remove you from any advertising audience you appear in, and exclude you from future ones.

What we cannot do: we cannot delete or alter information Meta already holds about you, including information Meta collected through your own use of Facebook or Instagram. That is Meta’s to control, not ours. To reach it, use facebook.com/adpreferences or contact Meta directly. We are telling you this rather than implying our opt-out reaches further than it does.

You may also use any of the self-service methods in Section 7.2, which take effect immediately and do not depend on us.

9.4 Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information

You have the right to limit our use of sensitive personal information (such as information revealing race, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, or precise geolocation) to what is necessary to perform the services you request.

9.5 Right to Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights under CCPA/CPRA. This means we will not:

• Deny you services or charge you different prices
• Provide you with a different quality of service
• Retaliate against you for exercising your privacy rights

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at contact@mail.thesuitdoctor.com or call 816-429-0303.

10. European Union and Other International Visitors

Our Website and services are directed to and operated for customers located in the United States. We do not maintain a General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or ePrivacy Directive compliance program, and we do not currently display an EU-style cookie consent banner. If you are located outside the United States and choose to use our Website, please be aware that your information will be handled under United States law as described in this Cookie Policy and our Privacy Policy, not under the law of your home jurisdiction. If you have questions or concerns about how non-essential cookies are used on our Website, contact us using the information in Section 13 and we will respond in good faith.

11. Cookie Retention and Expiration

These are the cookies actually set when you visit our Website. Lifespans are set by the providers named in Section 5 and may change without notice from us, so treat them as typical rather than guaranteed:

You can view the exact expiration times for cookies set on your Device through your browser’s cookie settings.

12. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our cookie practices, technological advancements, or in response to changes in applicable laws and regulations. When we make material changes, we will:

• Update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy
• Provide prominent notice on our Website
• Obtain your renewed consent if required by applicable law

Your continued use of the Website following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Cookie Policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
