Privacy
Cookie Notice
Effective September 19, 2026
This notice explains how Rated Picks and its service providers may use cookies, pixels, local storage, URL parameters, and similar technologies on ratedpicks.com.
What these technologies do
A cookie is a small piece of data a website asks a browser to store. Similar technologies can recognize a browser, remember a preference, protect a service, measure a visit, or help attribute a referral. Some information may be associated with device identifiers or IP addresses.
Categories we may use
| Category | Purpose | Typical status |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Deliver pages, balance traffic, prevent abuse, and maintain security. | Required for core operation |
| Preferences | Remember choices such as a consent selection or display preference. | Used when the feature requires it |
| Analytics | Understand broad traffic patterns, page performance, and errors. | May be enabled with appropriate controls |
| Affiliate attribution | Let a merchant or network recognize that a visit or eligible action came from Rated Picks. | Set mainly after an outbound affiliate click |
Current site configuration
At initial publication, the site is designed to work without an account or personalized advertising. Essential hosting and security systems may still process technical requests. Analytics, email, or affiliate services can be introduced later; this notice and any consent controls should be updated before such use where required.
Third-party destinations
When you follow a link to a retailer, affiliate network, or other site, that service may set its own cookies under its own notice. Rated Picks does not control third-party cookies after you leave our site.
Your choices
You can use browser controls to view, block, or delete cookies. Blocking necessary storage may affect security or site behavior. Where a cookie preference control is offered on the site, use it to change optional categories. Privacy tools and opt-out signals may also apply depending on the technology, your location, and applicable law.
Do Not Track and opt-out preference signals
Browser “Do Not Track” signals do not have a single industry response. Where legally required and technically supported, we will evaluate recognized opt-out preference signals in relation to covered sale, sharing, or targeted-advertising activity.
Changes and contact
We may revise this notice as our tools or legal obligations change. Questions can be sent to privacy@ratedpicks.com. See the Privacy Policy for more information.
