What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your browser or device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, understand how you interact with the site, and personalize your experience. Cookies can be either session-based (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent (remain for a set period or until deleted).

RedGobble uses both first-party cookies (set by us) and third-party cookies (set by services we use) to provide, secure, and improve our website and services. This policy explains each type of cookie we use and how you can control them.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic functioning of our website. These cookies enable core features such as security, session management, and accessibility preferences. Without these cookies, certain services on our website may not function properly.

The essential cookies we use include:

Session Cookies: Maintain your session state as you navigate between pages.
CSRF Tokens: Protect against cross-site request forgery attacks.
Authentication Cookies: Verify your identity when accessing secure areas.
Preference Cookies: Remember your cookie consent choices.
Load Balancing Cookies: Route requests to appropriate servers for optimal performance.

Essential cookies do not require your prior consent as they are necessary for the operation of our website. You may block them via browser settings, but this may affect site functionality.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting information in an aggregated, anonymized form. This data helps us improve our website's performance, content, and user experience.

We use the following analytics services:

Google Analytics 4: Uses cookies (_ga, _gid, _gat, _ga_<container-id>) to track page views, session duration, referral sources, and approximate location. IP addresses are anonymized. Data is retained for 14 months.
Vercel Analytics: Privacy-focused analytics that tracks page views and performance metrics without using cookies for individual identification.

You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Marketing Cookies

RedGobble does not currently use marketing or advertising cookies. We do not track you across websites for the purpose of targeted advertising.

Should we implement marketing cookies in the future, we will:

Request your explicit consent before placing any marketing cookies.
Clearly disclose the purpose of each marketing cookie.
Provide granular controls to accept or reject marketing cookies independently.
Update this policy with specific details about marketing cookie usage.

Third-Party Cookies

Some third-party services we use may set cookies on your browser. These services include:

Stripe: Sets cookies for fraud prevention and payment processing when you engage in payment-related activities.
Calendly: Sets cookies for scheduling functionality when you book meetings with us.
Google Analytics: Sets cookies as described in the analytics section above.
Vercel: Sets essential cookies for CDN functionality and performance monitoring.

These third-party services have their own privacy and cookie policies. We recommend reviewing their policies for complete information about their data practices.
