Cookie Policy & Tracking Consent
Auton Farms sets forth technical parameters, Consent Mode v2 operational states, and vendor storage identifiers deployed to evaluate machinery inquiries and paid campaign attribution.
This specification outlines how Auton Farms utilizes local browser storage, HTTP headers, session tokens, and vendor tracking mechanisms. We operate an active agricultural facility in Lavonia, Georgia. We do not sell user data, maintain user profiles, or host third-party programmatic advertising banners.
Our policies are updated in lockstep with changes to commercial ad platform requirements and browser storage partition standards. Every previous cookie declaration is superseded in full as of October 17, 2026.
Every storage element executed by autonfarms.com belongs to one of three clearly demarcated functional groups:
- Strictly Necessary Storage: Mandatory for baseline security, form dispatch integrity, and state preservation. These keys remember your cookie preferences, authenticate real-time dispatch chat sessions via hocoe9f.php, and validate anti-bot honeypot parameters. They operate without prior consent and cannot be switched off in our interface without rendering dispatch forms inoperable.
- Analytics Storage: Used to evaluate aggregate traffic volumes, identify browser viewport breakpoints, measure page loading speed, and detect server-side errors across our rural service pages. Analytics data is completely aggregated and never linked to customer phone or parcel records.
- Advertising & Attribution Storage: Deployed exclusively when visitors arrive through paid promotional links on Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, or Meta Ads. These keys hold campaign click parameters to evaluate commercial inquiries against specific ad copy and keywords. They require explicit opt-in confirmation before activation.
Below is the authoritative schedule of all client-side identifiers currently utilized on this domain.
| Identifier Name | Provider / Host | Category | Operational Purpose | Retention Window |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| site_consent_v2 | autonfarms.com (First-party) | Strictly Necessary | Stores the visitor’s affirmative consent or declination status across browser reloads | 12 months |
| chat_token | autonfarms.com (First-party) | Strictly Necessary | Maintains active support chat session continuity with dispatch staff via hocoe9f.php | Session / 12 months |
| gclid | Google LLC / Google Ads | Advertising | Captures Google Ads click identifier from inbound landing URL for conversion attribution | 90 days |
| msclkid | Microsoft Ireland / Bing Ads | Advertising | Captures Microsoft Advertising click identifier for campaign performance and billing attribution | 90 days |
| fbclid | Meta Platforms, Inc. | Advertising | Captures Meta Ads click identifier to measure inquiries originating from social campaigns | 90 days |
| _ga / _ga_* | Google LLC (Analytics) | Analytics | Records anonymous user journey telemetry, page view counts, and bounce rates | 24 months (only if accepted) |
We run paid commercial advertising to reach landowners requiring tractor brush hogging, pasture reclamation, and utility trailer haulage, as well as visitors seeking Shiloh Farm countryside retreats in Franklin County, Georgia.
When a visitor navigates to our site by selecting an advertisement, the originating platform appends a unique cryptographic query string to the destination URL. Google Ads appends gclid; Microsoft Advertising appends msclkid; Meta Ads appends fbclid. Our systems parse these parameters to correlate inquiries with the specific promotional campaign that generated them.
Auton Farms makes this disclosure in the present tense because we actively run paid advertising today. We make no representations that any advertising platform has reviewed, endorsed, audited, or certified our business, equipment inventory, or agricultural operations.
To maintain absolute transparency and prevent unauthorized tracking, autonfarms.com enforces Google Consent Mode v2 across all analytical and advertising tags. The script architecture establishes the baseline state prior to any tag execution:
- ad_storage: Established in a denied state by default. No advertising cookies are written or accessed.
- ad_user_data: Established in a denied state by default. No user data is transmitted to ad networks for conversion modeling.
- ad_personalization: Established in a denied state by default. Remarketing and profile personalization are suppressed.
- analytics_storage: Established in a denied state by default. First-party and third-party analytical cookies remain blocked.
These four signals transition to granted solely upon the visitor clicking the "Accept" control in our consent banner. Should the visitor click "Decline" or clear their selection via the settings link, our script immediately commands the Consent Mode v2 API to revert all four signals back to denied without page refresh.
Consent is provided affirmatively when you arrive on the site and choose to select "Accept" on the docked consent notice. You may also explicitly decline by selecting "Decline".
If you wish to change your existing selection or check your current status, use the interactive control box below or select the "Cookie Settings" link located in the footer of every page:

Furthermore, autonfarms.com natively respects the Global Privacy Control (Sec-GPC) header. If your browser broadcasts an active GPC signal, all optional advertising and analytics storage is automatically set to denied without prompting.
We firmly reject the practice of cookie-walling or withholding essential business information from visitors who decline tracking. If you decline storage:
- What Continues to Function: You can read all tractor brush hogging details, view trailer haulage rates, inspect Shiloh Farm retreat accommodation guidelines, operate the interactive per-unit price estimator, submit inquiry forms to sorif9a.php, and converse with our farm dispatch team via hocoe9f.php.
- What Ceases: Campaign click parameters (gclid, msclkid, fbclid) will not be stored in your browser or matched with conversion records, Google Analytics will not record your browsing path, and Consent Mode v2 will permanently withhold advertising signals.
Auton Farms partners with verified advertising platforms to broadcast equipment availability and farm retreat opportunities. We encourage you to review their independent data handling policies directly:
- Microsoft Advertising: Governed by the comprehensive Microsoft Privacy Statement. You may review Microsoft’s data collection practices, ad personalization toggles, and retention periods at privacy.microsoft.com.
- Google Ads & Analytics: Governed by Google’s general privacy rules and advertising disclosures. You may review Google’s technologies, cookie usage, and account privacy controls at policies.google.com.
- Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram): Governed by the Meta Privacy Policy. Review their advertising preferences and data usage at meta.com/privacy.
