Information Visitors Provide
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, location, or similar term into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the message and return address may be kept long enough to respond. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, basic technical data may be collected when pages load.
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser name, settings, and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website, if one is passed by the browser.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic and visitor behavior. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some features or advertising controls may work differently after cookies are limited.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and show targeted ads. That tracking occurs on their platforms, not through an official Crittenden County or Kentucky government system.
