This Cookie Policy explains how Astro Smart Tech LLC, doing business as SafeLab ("we," "us," or "our"), uses cookies and similar technologies on the FindBids website at findbids.us and the FindBids application at app.findbids.us. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember your actions and preferences over time. "Similar technologies" include local storage, pixels, and tags that perform comparable functions. We use both first-party cookies (set by us) and third-party cookies (set by our service providers).
2. How we use cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- Strictly necessary — to operate the Website and Service, keep you signed in, and remember your cookie consent choice. These cannot be switched off.
- Analytics — to understand how visitors use our pages so we can improve them.
- Advertising and marketing — to measure campaigns and support cross-context advertising.
3. Cookies we use
| Provider / Cookie | Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
fb_cookie_consent (first-party local storage) | Strictly necessary | Remembers whether you accepted or opted out of analytics and marketing cookies. |
Google Analytics (_ga, _ga_*) | Analytics | Measures site traffic and usage patterns. Measurement ID G-C66PVJ2B0P. |

The exact cookies set may vary as providers update their products. Cookie lifespans range from the duration of your session to up to two years, depending on the provider.
4. Your choices
When you first visit our Website, a banner lets you accept or opt out of analytics and marketing cookies. We operate on an opt-out model: analytics and marketing technologies load by default, and you can decline them at any time using the "Opt out" button in the banner. Strictly necessary cookies always remain active.
You can also control cookies in these ways:
- Global Privacy Control (GPC). We honor recognized GPC browser signals as an opt-out of the sale/sharing of personal information for advertising.
- Browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how the Website functions.
- Provider opt-outs. You can opt out of Google Analytics using Google's browser add-on, and manage ad personalization in your Google account settings.
For more on your California privacy rights, including opting out of "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising, see Section 8 of our Privacy Policy.
5. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our practices or the technologies we use change. We will post the revised version with a new effective date.
