Cookies Policy

How and why we use cookies and similar technologies on this website, and how you can control them.

Last updated: August 2025

1) What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by your browser. They help websites function, remember your preferences, and (optionally) provide insights into usage so we can improve the service. We also use similar technologies like local storage for the same purposes.

2) How we use cookies

  • Strictly necessary (essential): required for the site to work (e.g., session security, CSRF tokens).
  • Preferences: remember settings you choose (e.g., cookie consent choices).
  • Performance/analytics (optional): help us understand what content is useful (only if you consent).
  • Functional (optional): enhance features or remember forms for convenience (only if you consent).
  • Marketing (optional): not used by default. If added in future, these will be off unless you opt in.

We never ask for cryptocurrency as payment and we do not sell your personal data.

3) Your cookie preferences

Use the toggles below to control optional cookies. Essential cookies are always on because the site cannot function without them. Your choices are stored in a cookie named rd_cookie_prefs for 6 months.

Enhanced features and remembered options. Optional.
Ad-related features. Off by default; not used unless you opt in.

4) Cookies we use (examples)

This list reflects the site as configured today. If we add new features, this page will be updated.

5) Managing cookies in your browser

You can also control cookies in your browser. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies and set exceptions for websites. If you block essential cookies, parts of this site may not work properly.

6) Do Not Track

Some browsers offer “Do Not Track.” There is no common standard yet. We honor your on-site preferences set above.

7) Changes to this policy

We may update this page when we introduce new features or vendors. The “Last updated” date will change accordingly.
