What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website.

Cookies help websites remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how you use the site.

How We Use Cookies

Types of Cookies We Use

1. Essential Cookies (Required)

  • Recently viewed items or signup sheets
  • Form autofill information

3. Analytics Cookies (Optional)

Examples:

  • Google Analytics (anonymized IP addresses)
  • Page view tracking
  • Feature usage statistics

  • SendGrid/Postmark: Delivers transactional emails and notifications
  • Social Media Platforms: If you share content via social media buttons

Each third-party provider has their own privacy policy governing their use of cookies. We recommend reviewing their policies for more information.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Cookie Settings

When you first visit SignUpReady, you'll see a cookie consent banner allowing you to accept or customize your cookie preferences. You can change your preferences at any time through your account settings.

  • View what cookies are stored and delete them individually
  • Block third-party cookies
  • Block all cookies from specific websites

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you don't want your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no industry standard for how to respond to these signals. We honor your cookie preferences regardless of Do Not Track settings.

Local Storage and Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other browser storage technologies like:

  • Local Storage: Stores data locally in your browser to improve performance
  • Session Storage: Temporary storage that's cleared when you close the browser tab
  • IndexedDB: A structured database for storing larger amounts of data

These technologies serve similar purposes to cookies and can be managed through your browser settings.
