Cookie Policy
Cookie Policy of Austin Management LLC
Last Updated: 05/07/2025
Austin Management LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website atxluxuryrentals.com (the “Site”). This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our Site, and your choices regarding them. By using the Site, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this policy.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site owners. We also use related technologies like web beacons and pixels which work together with cookies. In this policy, all these technologies are referred to collectively as “cookies.”
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies to enhance your experience on our Site, to understand how our Site is used, and to support our marketing efforts. The cookies we use generally fall into the following categories:
- Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the Site to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. For example, they may be used to enable you to move around the Site and use its features (such as accessing secure areas or submitting forms). You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the Site might not work then.
- Analytics Cookies: We use analytics cookies to collect information about how visitors interact with our Site. In particular, we use Google Analytics (a web analytics service provided by Google). Google Analytics uses cookies to gather data such as which pages you visit, how long you stay on a page, the links you click, and your IP address. This information is collected in an anonymous form (we do not collect your name or contact details via analytics cookies) and is aggregated for us to analyze. The insights from these cookies help us improve the Site’s content, performance, and user experience. Google may also set its own cookies for this purpose. We do not share any personally identifiable information with Google; Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to our Site is governed by Google’s Privacy Policy.
- Advertising Cookies: We use advertising cookies and pixels to help us with our marketing and outreach. Specifically, our Site uses the Meta (Facebook) Pixel, which is a piece of code from Meta Platforms, Inc. that can place cookies on your device. These cookies allow us to understand what actions you take on our Site (for example, viewing a property listing or clicking on a contact form) and later provide you with relevant advertising on platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. In practical terms, this means you might see an ad from ATX Luxury Rentals on Facebook or Instagram after visiting our Site. The data collected via the Meta Pixel may include information like your IP address, timestamp, and the specific pages you visited on our Site. This data is used by us and by Meta to measure the effectiveness of our ads and to build audiences for our marketing campaigns. We do not obtain personal details like your phone number or email through these cookies, and we do not see any individual’s social media profile information. The information is processed by Meta in accordance with Meta’s privacy policies.
Third-Party Cookies: Some cookies on our Site are set by third parties that provide services to us. The primary third-party services we use are Google Analytics and Meta Pixel as described above. [If you use any other third-party tools that set cookies, list them here, e.g., advertising networks, live chat plugins, etc.] These third-party cookies are controlled by the providers and are used for the purposes we’ve outlined (analytics or advertising). We do not have control over the cookies of third parties, aside from choosing to use their services. For details on how those third parties handle cookie information, please refer to their respective privacy/cookie policies.
Your Choices and Control
We respect your right to privacy and provide you with options to control your cookies:
- Browser Settings: Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. You may also delete cookies that have already been set. Please be aware that blocking all cookies may impact the functionality of our Site. For example, if an essential cookie is blocked, certain features (like remaining logged in or the submission of a form) may not work properly.
- Opting Out of Analytics: If you do not want Google Analytics to collect information about your visits, you can install the “Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.” This add-on, provided by Google, prevents the Google Analytics script from running. For more information, you can visit Google’s page about the opt-out here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. (If this is a plain text policy you plan to distribute physically, you can instruct users to search for “Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on” in their web browser.)
- Opting Out of Personalized Ads: If you prefer not to receive targeted ads based on your visits to our Site, you have a few options:
- Facebook/Meta Opt-Out: You can adjust your ad preferences on Facebook. Log into your Facebook account, go to Settings & Privacy > Settings > Ads Preferences, and update your settings under sections like “Ads based on data from partners” (which is where our Site activity would fall under). This allows you to control whether Meta can use data from websites (like ours) for ad targeting.
- Industry Opt-Out Tools: We adhere to the Digital Advertising Alliance principles. You can visit the DAA’s consumer choice page at http://optout.aboutads.info to opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies (including possibly Meta and other advertisers). Similarly, the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) offers an opt-out platform at http://optout.networkadvertising.org.
- Please note that opting out of targeted advertising doesn’t mean you will no longer see ads – but the ads you see may be less relevant to your interests or not based on your past visits to our Site.
- Do Not Track: Our Site does not currently respond to “Do Not Track” signals from web browsers. At this time, there is no consistent industry standard for compliance with Do Not Track, and so we treat such signals like a general cookie opt-out (we continue to apply the cookie preferences you set as described above).
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our practices. When we update the policy, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top. Any changes will become effective when we post the revised Cookie Policy on the Site. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
