This Cookie Policy explains what these technologies are, how we use them, which cookies are currently known, and how you can manage your choices. Please also review our Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device when you visit a website. They can help a website operate, remember choices, support forms and accessibility tools, protect against misuse, and provide third-party features.

Similar technologies may include browser storage, scripts, security tokens, and embedded content. Some are provided directly by C.T. Brayton, while others are provided by outside companies.

Operate and protect the website

Cookie Categories

Cookies Currently Classified as Essential

The website currently treats certain cookies as essential because they support security, saved preferences, forms, or accessibility features. These cookies cannot be turned off through the Cookie Preferences tool, although you may be able to block them through your browser.

Blocking these cookies may prevent parts of the website from working correctly.

Statistics Cookies

The Cookie Preferences tool includes a Statistics category. However, no active Google Analytics or other website analytics service was identified during our September 1, 2026 review.

Marketing and Embedded Content

Google Maps is currently placed in the Marketing category within the Cookie Preferences tool. The map is used to display location information. This classification does not mean that C.T. Brayton uses Google Maps to run advertising.

Microsoft Forms is used to provide the bidder registration form.

Password-Protected Bidding Content

The private bidding area may set a WordPress access cookie after a visitor enters the correct password. This cookie helps maintain access to the protected content. Its duration may vary based on the website’s settings.

Embedded Third-Party Content

Some pages contain services provided by other companies, including Google Maps and Microsoft Forms. These services may use cookies or similar technologies and may receive technical information when their content loads.

As of the Last Updated date, Google Maps and Microsoft Forms may load when their pages are viewed, including after a visitor selects Reject. The Cookie Preferences tool therefore does not currently block every third-party connection.

You may use your browser settings, privacy extensions, or content-blocking tools to limit these connections.

Managing Your Cookie Choices

The website’s cookie banner currently allows you to:

Accept all listed cookie categories
Reject optional categories
Review individual categories through Cookie Preferences

You can reopen Cookie Preferences using the cookie-settings button available on the website.

You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. If you delete your cookies, use private browsing, or switch browsers or devices, the website may ask you to make another choice.

Blocking certain technologies may affect forms, maps, accessibility tools, protected bidding content, or other website features.

Browser Privacy Signals

Some browsers and extensions can send Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signals.

As of the Last Updated date, this website does not automatically respond to these signals. You can manage the available choices through the Cookie Preferences tool and your browser settings.

This statement does not limit any privacy rights available under applicable law.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when the website, its services, or its cookie practices change.

The updated policy will be posted on this page with a revised Last Updated date.
