Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how you interact with the service.

Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. We refer to all of these collectively as "cookies" in this policy.

Cookies can be:

• Session cookies: Deleted when you close your browser
• Persistent cookies: Remain on your device for a defined period
• First-party cookies: Set by Reputation Scorecard directly
• Third-party cookies: Set by our service providers (e.g., analytics)

Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the Service to function. They cannot be disabled without preventing you from using core features. No consent is required for these cookies under GDPR, as they are set on the basis of our legitimate interest in providing the Service.

We use anonymised analytics cookies to understand how people interact with the Service. This helps us improve features, fix issues, and prioritise development. These cookies are only set with your explicit consent.

Our analytics implementation:

• Does not track you across other websites
• Does not create individual profiles
• Uses anonymised, aggregated data only
• Data is processed entirely within the EU (Frankfurt, Germany)
• IP addresses are anonymised before processing

We do not use any third-party advertising cookies, remarketing pixels, or tracking technologies that share data with ad networks.

Under GDPR, you have the right to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can manage your preferences in the following ways:

• Cookie consent banner: When you first visit Reputation Scorecard, you will be presented with a consent banner where you can accept or decline analytics cookies.
• Account settings: Logged-in members can update cookie preferences at any time from the Privacy section of account settings.
• Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Note that blocking essential cookies will prevent the Service from functioning correctly.

Withdrawing consent for analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use the Service, but may limit our ability to improve the product based on usage data.

You can control cookies directly through your browser settings. Here are links to instructions for common browsers:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge

Please note that deleting or blocking essential cookies may prevent you from accessing certain features of the Service, including staying logged in.

We may update this Cookie Policy as our practices change or in response to changes in applicable law. We will notify you of material changes by updating the "Last Updated" date and, where appropriate, by displaying an in-app notice.
