This Cookie Policy explains how Consumer Serve Inc., doing business as Get Home Utilities (“we,” “us,” or “our”), uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at https://gethomeutilities.com (“Website”). We’ll break down what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can control them.

In some cases, we may use cookies to collect personal information—or data that becomes personal when combined with other details.


What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They help make websites work smoothly, improve your experience, and give us useful insights.

  • First-Party Cookies: Set by us (Get Home Utilities) to enhance your time on our Website.
  • Third-Party Cookies: Set by other companies (like advertisers or analytics providers) to offer features such as ads or usage tracking. These parties might recognize your device on our Website and others you visit.

Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use both first- and third-party cookies for a few key reasons:

  • Essential Cookies: These keep our Website running, handling things like secure logins and basic features.
  • Analytics Cookies: These show us how you use our Website so we can make it better.
  • Advertising Cookies: These help us and our partners show you ads that match your interests.

Third parties may also use cookies on our Website for their own analytics or advertising needs, which we’ll explain more below.


How Can I Control Cookies?

You’re in charge of whether cookies are used. Here’s how to manage them:

  • Cookie Consent Manager: When you arrive at our website, a banner pops up with our Cookie Consent Manager. You can pick which types of cookies to allow or block. Essential cookies are non-negotiable since they’re needed for the Website to work.
  • Browser Settings: You can also tweak your browser to accept or refuse cookies. Check the links below for popular browsers.

If you block cookies, you can still use our Website, but some features might not work as well.
