Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We also use browser local storage for preferences and first-party website analytics. Both technologies help the Platform remember state without treating anonymous analytics identifiers as account credentials.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the platform to function properly. They include:

• Authentication cookies to keep you logged in
• Security cookies to prevent fraud
• Session cookies to maintain your preferences
• Load balancing cookies for optimal performance

Analytics Cookies

With your permission, realtimeoption.com and app.realtimeoption.com use Google Analytics 4 and our first-party analytics to understand how visitors interact with the site:

• Page views and user journey tracking
• CTA clicks, section views and scroll depth
• Referrer and campaign attribution
• Completed signup attribution when an anonymous visitor creates an account

Google may set analytics cookies such as _ga. We do not enable Google advertising storage, signals or personalization, and we do not send names, email addresses, authentication tokens, payment identifiers or support-message content to Google Analytics.

Functional Cookies

These enhance your user experience by:

• Remembering your language preferences
• Storing your dashboard layout preferences
• Maintaining your theme settings (light/dark mode)
• Remembering your recent searches and filters

We do not currently use the public-site tracker to serve targeted advertising.

3. Third-Party Cookies

We may use third-party services that set their own cookies:

• Payment Processors: For secure payment processing
• Customer Support: For chat and help desk functionality
• CDN Services: For faster content delivery
