🍪 Cookies and Tracking Explained

Understanding Cookies

When you visit most websites — including ours — small text files called cookies are saved on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone).

Cookies help websites remember who you are and how you use the site, so things like:

  • staying logged in,
  • remembering what’s in your cart, or
  • saving your language preference

…can all happen automatically.

In short:

Cookies make your experience smoother and more personalized.


Types of Cookies We Use

At ReadySecGo, we use several types of cookies to ensure our website works properly and to understand how visitors use it.

1. Essential (Necessary) Cookies

These are required for the website to function.
They handle things like:

  • Logging in to your account
  • Saving privacy settings
  • Keeping your session secure

You can’t disable these because they’re needed for the core site to work.

2. Performance (Analytics) Cookies

These cookies collect anonymous information about how visitors use our site — for example, which pages are visited most often, or if users encounter errors.
This helps us improve how our site performs and make navigation smoother.

Example:
We might use Google Analytics to understand website traffic patterns.
We do not use analytics to personally identify you.

3. Functional Cookies

These remember your preferences and choices — like your region, language, or saved login details — to make the site more convenient.

4. Marketing (Targeting) Cookies

These help us or our partners show you relevant ads or messages based on your interests.
For example, if you browse a certain product, you might later see related offers.


How We Use Tracking Technologies

Besides cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as:

  • Pixels or web beacons – tiny invisible images used to see if an email or page was opened.
  • Local storage – saves settings on your browser to make pages load faster.

These help us analyze usage, measure performance, and deliver a better, more secure experience.


You’re always in control of your cookies.
You can accept, reject, or manage them in several ways:

When you first visit our site, you’ll see a cookie consent banner.
From there, you can:

  • Accept all cookies
  • Reject non-essential cookies
  • Manage detailed preferences (choose which types to allow)

You can change these settings anytime by clicking “Cookie Settings” in our footer.

Option 2: Through Your Browser

You can also control cookies directly in your web browser.
Here’s how for the most common ones:

  • Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
  • Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
  • Microsoft Edge: Settings → Site Permissions → Cookies and site data

From there, you can delete cookies, block them entirely, or choose to be notified when one is set.


Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies may come from trusted third-party services we use to:

  • Analyze website traffic (e.g., Google Analytics)
  • Embed media (e.g., YouTube videos or social widgets)
  • Process payments securely

We only work with providers who comply with GDPR and data protection standards.
Each provider’s privacy policy explains how they handle cookie data.


Keeping Your Privacy in Mind

We never use cookies to collect sensitive personal information or to sell your data.
Our goal is to balance functionality and privacy — giving you full control over your experience.
