1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences (such as language, login state, and consent choices) over time, and to gather analytics about how the site is used.
We also use similar technologies such as local storage (which stores data in your browser without sending it back to our servers) and pixel tags. References to "cookies" in this policy include all of these.
2. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies to operate, secure, and improve our website. Specifically:
- To remember your theme preference (light or dark mode)
- To remember whether you have accepted or declined non-essential cookies
- To save partially completed checkout details so you do not lose progress on a refresh
- To understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it
- To deliver and measure marketing campaigns where you have given consent
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
We group cookies into the following categories:
- Strictly necessary — required for the website to function. These cannot be disabled. Examples: theme preference, cookie-consent state, checkout form persistence.
- Analytics — help us understand visitor behaviour in aggregate. We anonymise IP addresses and do not track you across other websites. These run only with your consent.
- Functional — remember choices you make to enhance your experience (e.g. preferred market: USA, UK, or Australia). These run only with your consent.
- Marketing — used to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. We do not currently use marketing cookies, but we will update this policy and re-prompt you for consent if that changes.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by services we embed or rely on. We only enable third-party cookies after you have given consent through our banner. Current third parties we may use include:
- Vercel — hosting, edge security, and basic anonymous request analytics
- Resend — transactional email delivery (no cookies set on your browser)
- Stripe — checkout and payment processing (when you reach a checkout page)
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can manage your cookie preferences in two ways:
- Through our consent banner — when you first visit, you can accept all cookies or only the strictly necessary ones. Your choice is stored in local storage and remembered for 12 months.
- Through your browser settings — every modern browser lets you block, delete, or restrict cookies. Refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions.
6. Re-opening Cookie Settings
If you wish to change your mind, clear your browser's local storage for rizingmetrics.com — the consent banner will appear again on your next visit so you can update your choice.
7. "Do Not Track" Signals
Our website does not currently respond to "Do Not Track" browser signals because no industry-wide standard has been agreed for how to interpret them. We honour the choice you make through our consent banner instead.
8. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, especially when we add or remove third-party services. Material changes will trigger the consent banner to re-appear so you can review and update your choices.
