Website measurement
We use Google Analytics only when you select Allow analytics. It counts page views, quote-button clicks, on-page tool starts and completions, and successful quote submissions. We also receive the referring page, campaign tags, device and browser category, and coarse geography. Advertising storage stays denied. Your choice is stored in this browser, and the quote form’s name, email, and project description are never sent to Analytics.
