5. Opting Out of Google Analytics

FL Fence & Screen uses Google Analytics to track Website usage. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by:

Option 1: Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Extension

• Download the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on from Google’s official page: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
• This extension prevents your data from being sent to Google Analytics
• Available for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge

Option 2: Disable in Browser Settings

• Many modern browsers include privacy settings that can limit or disable analytics tracking
• Check your browser’s privacy and security settings

Option 3: Opt-Out Links

• Google provides an opt-out mechanism at https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/181881

When you opt out of Google Analytics, your browser will send a signal that prevents data collection. This preference is browser and device-specific, so you will need to opt out on each device and browser you use.

6. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites indicating your preference not to be tracked. FL Fence & Screen currently does not respond to or honor Do Not Track browser signals, though we encourage you to use the cookie management and analytics opt-out options described above if you prefer to limit tracking.
