Last updated: December 2024
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Bootstrapped Ventures LLC ("CompetRadar," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website and platform. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
2. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember preferences, and to provide reporting information to site owners.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
- Strictly necessary: required for the site to function — authentication, session management, security. These cannot be disabled.
- Preference: remember choices you make (language, region, theme) to improve subsequent visits.
- Analytics: help us understand which pages are visited, how often, and what works well — so we can improve the product. We use Google Analytics for this purpose.
- Marketing: set only with your consent on jurisdictions where required, used to measure campaign performance.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties acting on our behalf — for example, our analytics provider and embedded media providers. These third parties operate under their own privacy policies, linked from our Privacy Policy.
5. How Long Cookies Stay
- Session cookies expire when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies remain until they expire or you delete them — typically between 30 days and 24 months.
6. Managing Cookies
You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the site from functioning. The following links describe how to manage cookies in popular browsers:
- Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Safari — Preferences → Privacy
- Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security
- Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions
7. Do Not Track
Some browsers transmit a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. There is currently no industry-wide standard for responding to this signal; we treat DNT requests in line with the strictest applicable cookie consent setting we are obligated to honor.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the Platform or by email.
