Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Local storage is a similar mechanism used by modern browsers. We use both minimally, for strictly necessary and functional purposes only.

2. What we use, and why

Strictly necessary

• rkt_region (localStorage), stores your selected region (ZA/EU/ME/US/INTL) so we can show region-appropriate currency and contact details. Persists until you clear browser data or change region.
• Form state, browser-standard form storage to prevent data loss if you accidentally close a tab mid-submission. Cleared on submission or browser close.

Third-party services

• ipapi.co, called once on your first visit to infer your country for region pre-selection. This is a one-off API call, not a persistent cookie. See their privacy policy at ipapi.co/privacy.
• Google Fonts / Font CDNs, we self-host fonts via @fontsource, avoiding third-party font CDN cookies.

Analytics

At the time of writing, RKT does not operate third-party analytics beyond basic, privacy-respecting site statistics from our hosting provider (Netlify), which does not set cookies on your device. If we add analytics in future, this policy will be updated and a consent banner will be presented where legally required.

3. What we do not use

We do not use cookies for advertising, cross-site tracking, or profiling. We do not share cookie data with advertising networks. We have no integration with Facebook Pixel, Google Ads, or similar tracking tools.

4. How to manage cookies

All modern browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies and local storage via their settings. Instructions: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge.

Blocking all cookies may degrade site functionality, specifically, region selection will need to be made manually on each visit.

5. Changes

We may update this policy if our use of cookies changes. Material changes will be reflected in the "last updated" date at the top of this page.
