Cookie Policy

Which cookies RNKD sets, which ones wait for your permission, and how to change your mind at any time.

Effective September 7, 2026 · Last updated September 7, 2026

01

About this policy

In shortRead it with the Privacy Policy.

This Cookie Policy explains how D2r Internet Holdings, LLC uses cookies and similar technologies on RNKD (the “Site”). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. You can change your choices at any time using the control in the footer.

02

What are cookies

In shortSmall files a site leaves on your device.

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. We use the term “cookies” broadly to include related technologies such as pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage, web beacons, and device or browser signals. These technologies let a site remember information about your visit.

03

Categories of cookies we use

In shortOne kind is required; the rest wait for you.

  • Strictly necessary. Required for the Site to function, to keep it secure, and to remember your cookie choices. These cannot be switched off. The consent choice you make is itself stored in a strictly necessary cookie named rnkd_consent. A session cookie is also set while you are filling in the reviewer application or contact form, to protect the form against cross-site request forgery.
  • Analytics and performance. Help us understand how visitors use the Site, which pages are read, and how we can improve. Set only with your consent.
  • Advertising and targeting. Used to make advertising more relevant, to limit how often you see an ad, to support retargeting, and to measure ad performance. Set only with your consent.
  • Functionality. Remember choices and preferences to give you a more personal experience. Set only with your consent.
04

What RNKD sets today

In shortRight now: the consent cookie and a form-security cookie. Nothing else.

We are telling you this plainly because it is currently true and easy to check: RNKD does not yet run advertising or analytics, and no third-party tag is loaded on any page. The advertising slots you may see on review pages are unfilled placeholders that request no ad code.

The consent control is installed now so that the moment analytics or advertising is switched on, it is already governed by the choice you have made, rather than being bolted on afterwards. This section will change when that happens, and the “Last updated” date will change with it.

05

First-party and third-party cookies

In shortOurs, and our providers’.

Some cookies are set by us directly (first-party). Others may be set by third parties that provide services to us, such as analytics providers, content delivery networks, and advertising partners. Examples of providers we may use include Google Analytics and Google AdSense. The specific providers may be added or removed over time. Third-party cookies are governed by the privacy and cookie policies of those third parties.

06

Google AdSense and advertising cookies

In shortGoogle’s ad cookies, and how to turn them off.

If advertising is enabled, we may use Google AdSense to display ads. Google and its partners use cookies, including the DoubleClick cookie, to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can review and control personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings, and opt out of many third-party advertising cookies at aboutads.info/choices. See also our Privacy Policy for how advertising data is handled.

07

Amazon affiliate links

In shortFollowing one hands you to Amazon.

A “View on Amazon” link carries an affiliate identifier. Once you follow it, Amazon may set its own cookies under its own policies. We do not set advertising cookies on your behalf when you click, and we do not learn what you bought. See our Affiliate Disclosure.

08

How long cookies last

In shortYour choice lasts a year; then we ask again.

Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a set period or until you delete them. Your saved consent choice lasts up to one year, after which we will ask again.

09

Managing your cookies

In shortFour ways, all of which we honour.

  • On this Site. Use the control in the footer to accept, reject, or customise non-essential cookies at any time.
  • In your browser. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may break parts of the Site.
  • On mobile devices. Device settings let you limit ad tracking and reset your advertising identifier.
  • Industry opt-outs. You can use opt-out tools offered by the Digital Advertising Alliance, the Network Advertising Initiative, and the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance.
  • Global Privacy Control. Where required by law, we honour the Global Privacy Control browser signal as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. If your browser sends it, we treat advertising and analytics as refused without asking you.
10

Changes to this Policy

In shortWe date every change.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above.
