What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website or use a web application. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a personalized experience, and give site owners information about how their site is being used.
ReputationSystems uses cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage and session storage) to operate our platform, remember your preferences, and improve our services. We do not use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking.

Your Choices
Managing Your Cookies
You have full control over non-essential cookies. Here is how to manage your preferences.
Cookie Consent Banner
When you first visit our platform, a cookie consent banner allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can update your choices at any time by clicking "Cookie Gear" in the footer.
Browser Gear
Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can block all cookies, delete existing cookies, or configure per-site cookie permissions. Note that blocking essential cookies will prevent the platform from functioning correctly.
Third-Party Opt-Out
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on (tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout). This prevents Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits.
Important Note
Disabling essential cookies will prevent you from logging in and using the ReputationSystems platform. We recommend keeping functional cookies enabled for the best experience. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use the platform.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
