1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site owners. This Cookie Policy explains how Ripdd ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage and session storage) to:
- Essential cookies: Enable core functionality such as security, authentication, and load balancing. The service cannot function properly without these.
- Preference cookies: Remember your settings and choices (e.g., language, region) to improve your experience.
- Analytics and performance cookies: Help us understand how visitors use our site (e.g., pages visited, time on site) so we can improve our services. This data is typically aggregated and anonymized.
- Functionality cookies: Support features like map preferences and session state as you navigate the site.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
First-party cookies are set by Ripdd when you use our website. Third-party cookies may be set by service providers we use (e.g., analytics or authentication providers). We require these providers to use your information only as necessary to provide services to us and in accordance with applicable law and our Privacy Policy.
Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them, and are used to remember you across visits.
4. Your Choices (U.S.)
Many browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can typically block or delete cookies; however, blocking essential cookies may affect the functionality of our service. You can often find cookie settings under "Privacy," "Security," or "Settings" in your browser. For more information, visit your browser's help section or visit www.allaboutcookies.org.
We do not currently use cookies that require consent under laws such as the GDPR for EU users. For U.S. users, we use cookies in line with this policy and our Privacy Policy. If we introduce advertising or tracking cookies that require consent, we will obtain your consent where required by law.
5. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. There is no uniform standard for how websites respond to DNT. We do not currently alter our practices based on DNT signals, but we continue to monitor developments in this area.
6. Updates
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. We will post the updated policy on this page and update the "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
