Cookie Policy
Last updated: August 7, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how 3P Lean Quality Consulting, doing business as 3P Partners, a DL Shumar & Associates Company (“3P Partners,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), uses cookies and similar technologies on www.3ppartnersdls.com.
It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are
Cookies are small text files that websites and service providers may store in a browser. Cookies can support essential website functions, remember preferences, help protect forms, provide analytics, and support embedded services.
Similar technologies include:
- Local storage
- Session storage
- Pixels
- Tags
- Scripts
- Device or browser identifiers
- Consent signals
- Cookieless measurement requests
2. Technologies Used by This Website
Necessary and security technologies
These technologies support website operation, consent preferences, security, fraud prevention, and spam prevention.
They may include:
- Storage used to remember your cookie preference
- Cloudflare Turnstile security technology
- Security and diagnostic information
- Session or functionality technology required by embedded services
These technologies may operate regardless of your optional analytics choice when reasonably necessary to provide a requested feature or protect the website.
Optional analytics
The website uses Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use the website and identify opportunities for improvement.
Google Analytics cookies remain off unless you select Accept analytics.
When analytics storage is denied, Google Advanced Consent Mode may send limited cookieless measurements. These requests do not place or read Google Analytics cookies while analytics storage remains denied. They may communicate limited information such as consent status, page activity, timestamps, browser information, or referrer information, subject to Google’s consent-aware processing.
The website is configured so that Google advertising consent fields remain denied:
- ad_storage
- ad_user_data
- ad_personalization
The Google Analytics implementation is not configured for Google Ads remarketing or advertising personalization.
Review the Google Privacy Policy(opens in a new tab) and Google Analytics privacy information(opens in a new tab) for more information.
Embedded scheduling
The website automatically loads an embedded Calendly scheduler so visitors can view availability and request meetings.
Calendly may use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies for scheduling, functionality, security, analytics, or other purposes described in its own policies.
Calendly provides its own cookie banner or Cookie Settings control inside the scheduler, and the website does not hide or suppress it.
The 3P Partners Cookie Preferences setting governs the website’s Google Analytics implementation. It does not independently control cookies or storage created inside the cross-origin Calendly scheduler.
Review the Calendly Privacy Notice(opens in a new tab) and Calendly cookie information(opens in a new tab).
Contact-form protection
The website uses Cloudflare Turnstile to help distinguish legitimate visitors from automated submissions and abuse. Every contact-form submission is validated on our server before it is accepted.
Cloudflare may process technical information required to provide this security service. Turnstile is treated as a necessary security technology rather than optional analytics.
Review the Cloudflare Privacy Policy(opens in a new tab) and Cloudflare Cookie Policy(opens in a new tab).
Hosting-level visitor measurement
Our website hosting platform, Lovable, produces aggregate visitor measurement for the site, including page views, visits, referring source, device type, and country derived from the request. We verified that this measurement does not set cookies and does not use local storage or session storage on your device.
Because it is generated at the hosting layer rather than in your browser, it operates independently of the Cookie Preferences control and is not part of the optional analytics choice. No other analytics service is used on this website.
3. Your Analytics Choices
When you first visit the website, the consent banner displays this message:
“We use optional analytics cookies to understand how the site is used and improve it. Analytics cookies stay off unless you accept. Limited cookieless measurement may still occur.”
You may choose:
- Accept analytics
- Continue without analytics
Continuing to browse, scrolling, navigating, or closing a notice does not count as acceptance.
If you accept analytics:
- Optional Google Analytics storage is granted
- Google Analytics cookies may be created
- The advertising consent fields remain denied
If you continue without analytics:
- Google Analytics storage remains denied
- Google Analytics cookies are not created
- Limited consent-aware cookieless measurement may still occur
4. Changing or Withdrawing Your Choice
You can review or change your Google Analytics choice at any time by selecting Cookie Preferences in the website footer.
If you withdraw analytics consent:
- Analytics storage changes to denied
- Recognized first-party Google Analytics cookies are removed where technically possible
- Future Google Analytics activity remains consent-aware and cookieless
- The advertising consent fields remain denied
You may also use your browser settings to block or delete cookies.
Blocking necessary cookies or storage may affect the operation of security features, scheduling, or other requested website functions.
Calendly preferences must be managed through Calendly’s own Cookie Settings.
5. Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track
Where supported, the website recognizes:
- Global Privacy Control
- Do Not Track
When either supported signal is active:
- Optional site analytics remains denied
- A previously stored analytics acceptance does not override the browser signal
- Recognized Google Analytics cookies are removed where technically possible
- The Cookie Preferences dialog explains why analytics is unavailable
- Google advertising consent remains denied
Because 3P Partners does not sell personal information or share it for targeted advertising, these signals are also treated as a request to keep optional site analytics off.
6. Third-Party Control
Some website functionality is provided by third parties.
3P Partners can control its own Google Analytics configuration and first-party consent preference. It cannot directly delete or control every cookie or storage item created by a cross-origin third-party service.
Third-party services may apply their own consent tools, privacy notices, retention periods, and cookie settings.
7. Cookie and Storage Inventory
