Cookie Policy & Telemetry Disclosures

1. Introduction to Web Technologies & Telemetry

This Cookie Policy explains how US County Jail Roster ("we", "us", or "our", accessible at https://uscountyjailroster.com) utilizes cookies, pixel tags, web beacons, and browser local storage technologies when you navigate our public records directory.

A cookie is a small alphanumeric text file deposited onto your computer, tablet, or smartphone by your web browser when visiting websites. Cookies enable web servers to remember your device, preserve session security, optimize page response times, compile aggregated analytical traffic reports, and display relevant commercial advertising.

For overarching information on how we handle personal records, public law enforcement rosters, and your statutory state privacy rights, please review our comprehensive Privacy Policy.

2. Google AdSense & Programmatic Advertising Monetization

US County Jail Roster provides free, open public access to county detention records across the United States. To finance server hosting, security filtering, and continuous data synchronization without charging fees to our visitors or families of detainees, our platform is monetized through programmatic advertising served primarily by Google LLC (Google AdSense).

Google, as a third-party advertising vendor, uses cookies and mobile advertising identifiers to serve ads on our site based on your prior visits to uscountyjailroster.com and other websites across the Internet. These advertising cookies enable Google and its verified advertising partners to deliver interest-based behavioral advertisements.

The DoubleClick DART cookie is utilized by Google to serve advertisements to users based on their visits to uscountyjailroster.com and other websites across the web.

Statutory Notice: This website is directed exclusively toward United States residents. We do not operate an IAB TCF consent banner and do not claim European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or UK Data Protection Act consent mechanisms. User controls are governed under federal and state statutory opt-out standards.

6. Web Beacons, Pixel Tags & HTML5 Local Storage

In addition to cookies, web pages may employ small electronic graphic images known as web beacons (also termed clear GIFs or pixel tags). These transparent 1x1 pixel graphics are loaded from third-party advertising servers to audit how many users have viewed specific pages or ad units.

We also utilize HTML5 Local Storage for client-side functionality. Local storage keys (such as us_jail_search_recent) operate entirely within your local browser sandbox to provide instant search retrieval without transmitting telemetry back to our server logs.
