1. Introduction
Our website, https://txcouncil.com (“Website”), uses cookies and similar technologies. Cookies may also be placed by third parties we engage (for security, performance, analytics, and form functionality). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
For information about how we handle personal information more generally, see our Privacy Policy.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device that store or read information. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, and scripts. Some cookies are essential to make the site work; others help us measure usage and improve performance.
- Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies stay until they expire or you delete them.
3. Categories of cookies we use

6. Enable/disable and delete cookies (browser settings)
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies, or receive alerts when a cookie is placed. If you block essential cookies, parts of the Website may not work correctly. For instructions, see your browser’s Help pages. After deletion, cookies may be placed again if you later consent.
7. “Do Not Sell or Share” and state privacy choices
We do not sell personal information for money. Some disclosures (e.g., certain analytics) could be viewed as a “sale” or “sharing” under some state laws. You can exercise choices here:
- Use Manage Cookies / Opt-Out to disable analytics or other non-essential categories.
- Email communications@txcouncil.com with subject “Privacy Request” to submit opt-out, access, correction, deletion, or portability requests. See details in our Privacy Policy.

Depending on your state (including Texas), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, obtain a portable copy, and opt out of certain processing. See Privacy Policy for how to submit a request and how we verify and respond.
