This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and local storage tokens are, how Rankrcket Digital Media Ltd employs them across Rankrcketstoryprch.surf, and how you can manage or opt out of these mechanisms.
What Are Cookies and Web Storage?
Cookies are small text records placed on your computing device by web servers when you load pages. Web storage (specifically HTML5 localStorage) functions similarly, enabling web applications to store key-value records locally within your browser client without sending them to the server on every HTTP request.
The Categories We Employ
We classify our storage mechanisms into three distinct tiers:
- Essential Storage: Required for foundational platform operations, such as remembering your consent preferences and ensuring load-balancing integrity. These cannot be disabled.
- Functional Storage: Used to maintain user state in our interactive tools, such as storing your last-selected GPU and resolution parameters in the FPS calculator.
- Analytics & Performance Telemetry: Aggregated, non-personally identifiable diagnostic metrics that assist our engineering team in identifying slow-loading assets and broken layout renderings.
Inventory Table of Active Identifiers
| Identifier Name | Type / Technology | Category | Lifespan | Specific Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
site_cookie_pref_2026 |
HTML5 LocalStorage | Essential | Persistent (1 Year) | Stores the visitor's choice ("accept", "reject", "preferences") so the consent modal does not re-appear on every click. |
__cf_bm |
HTTP Cookie | Essential / Security | 30 Minutes | Deployed by CDN edge nodes to identify and mitigate automated bot assaults and malicious network scraping. |
rankrcket_calc_state |
HTML5 LocalStorage | Functional | Session | Preserves calculator filter choices (e.g. TGP selection) during active sub-page exploration. |
_perf_telemetry_id |
HTTP Cookie | Analytics (Optional) | 90 Days | Provides aggregated page rendering performance and scroll depth statistics without capturing individual IP addresses. |
Browser-Level Opt-Out and Control Procedures
In addition to our on-page consent banner controls, you can manage or delete cookies directly within your browser settings:
- Google Chrome: Navigate to Settings > Privacy and security > Third-party cookies > See all site data and permissions.
- Mozilla Firefox: Navigate to Settings > Privacy & Security > Enhanced Tracking Protection > Cookies and Site Data.
- Apple Safari: Navigate to Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data.
- Microsoft Edge: Navigate to Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies and site data.
Please note that clearing all stored data may reset your saved calculator states and cause the cookie consent banner to reappear on your next visit.
Updates to This Policy
As web standards evolve, we may modify this table to reflect new technical measures. Revisions will be published directly to this page.
