Cookies Policy

Red Pulse Tech · Effective date: [DATE] · Version 1.0 (draft)

This policy explains how the Red Pulse website and dashboard use cookies and similar local-storage technologies. It supplements our Privacy Policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. "Local storage" is a similar browser mechanism for saving small amounts of data on your device. We use both for a limited set of purposes described below.

Our approach

Red Pulse uses only strictly-necessary and preference technologies. We do not use advertising, marketing, or cross-site tracking cookies, and we do not sell data to advertisers.

What we use

Strictly necessary (cannot be turned off — the dashboard won't work without them)

Name Type Purpose Retention
rp_session Cookie (HttpOnly) Keeps you signed in to the customer dashboard after authentication. Expires with your session
rp_admin_session Cookie (HttpOnly) Keeps Red Pulse staff signed in to the administration portal. Not set for customers. Expires with the session
__cf_bm and similar Cookie Set by our CDN/security provider (Cloudflare) to deliver and protect the site (bot mitigation). Under 1 hour

Preferences (improve your experience; optional)

Name Type Purpose Retention
rp_theme Cookie Remembers your light/dark theme choice. Up to 12 months
rp_dismissed_notices Local storage Remembers which maintenance/notice banners you've dismissed so they don't reappear. Until cleared
rp_dismissed_versions Local storage Remembers which agent-update banners you've dismissed. Until cleared

(Names verified against build 1.5.13 / agent 1.8.3, June 2026.)

Third-party cookies

We do not embed third-party advertising or analytics trackers in the dashboard. Our infrastructure providers (e.g. our CDN/security provider) may set strictly-necessary cookies to deliver and protect the site; see our Privacy Policy for sub-processors.

Managing cookies

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly-necessary cookies (such as rp_session) will prevent you from signing in and using the dashboard. Clearing local storage will reset dismissed-notice preferences.

Changes

We may update this policy; the effective date above will change. Material changes will be notified via the dashboard.
