Cookies and Tracking Technologies


Our Site uses cookies, web beacons, and server logs to enhance functionality and collect usage data. The customer portal uses cookies for security and access. Cookies collect Identifiers and Internet Activity data, like IP addresses or page views. Third parties (e.g., analytics or ad networks) may place cookies for their purposes, potentially constituting “Sharing” under CPRA. California residents may choose to opt out of this sharing by contacting us via email at privacy@beaconbay.com or by physical mail, Attn: Privacy Compliance, 4100 Newport Place Drive, Suite 510, Newport Beach, CA 92660

We use the following types of cookies:

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for the operation of the Site and customer portal, enabling basic functions like page navigation, security, and access to secure areas (like the portal). The Site and portal cannot function properly without these cookies.
  • Performance/Analytics Cookies: Collect information about how visitors use the Site, such as which pages are visited most often, how users navigate the site, and if they encounter error messages. This helps us improve the Site's performance and usability (e.g., via Google Analytics).
  • Functional Cookies: Allow the Site to remember choices you make (such as username, language, or region) and provide enhanced, more personalized features.
  • Targeting/Advertising Cookies: Used to track browsing activity across websites to build a profile of your interests and deliver advertisements more relevant to you. These are often placed by third-party advertising networks and are primarily used on our public-facing Site, not within the secure customer portal environment.
