Cookie Policy
Last updated: August 2026
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the website function properly, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors use the site. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies we use on bendergroupaz.com, why we use them, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website’s core functionality — such as our property search — to work. They cannot be switched off without breaking that functionality. Our property search is powered by Showcase IDX, whose cookie places a session token on your device (set by our domain, not a third-party domain) to let the search remember who you are as you browse listings. It does not contain personally identifiable information.
Functional Cookies
These are cookies designed for purposes such as enhancing a website’s functionality. They are either not strictly essential for the website, or serve non-essential purposes in addition to an essential purpose. We use first-party, persistent cookies to recognize you when you use our IDX property search and personalize it to you. See the table below for specifics.
Analytics & Advertising Cookies
Our IDX search provider, Showcase IDX, uses Google Analytics on search pages to understand aggregate, anonymized usage of the search tool — this data cannot be traced back to individual sites or visitors. We separately use the Meta (Facebook) Pixel to measure the effectiveness of our own advertising and to better understand how visitors interact with our site.

This list reflects the cookies we’re aware of from our current plugins and tools. If we add new tracking tools or plugins in the future, this table will be updated accordingly.
How to Control Cookies
Most web browsers let you control cookies through their settings — you can typically block cookies entirely, delete existing cookies, or be notified when a new cookie is set. Note that blocking essential cookies (like sidx_token) may prevent our property search from working properly. You can also opt out of Google’s use of cookies for advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, and manage your Facebook ad preferences through your Facebook Ad Preferences.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies and tools we use. Changes will take effect immediately upon posting to this page, and the “Last updated” date above will reflect the most recent revision.
