1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer, mobile phone, or any other device when you visit it, in order to remember information about your visit (such as your preferred language or your interaction with the site) and facilitate your next visit. We also use technologies similar to cookies, such as tracking pixels, web beacons, and browser local storage. In this document, the term "cookies" includes all of these technologies, unless otherwise indicated.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are used by the website rivdara.com (the "Site"), operated by CONSULTING IT R&R CORP, what they are used for, and how you can control or disable them. This Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Statement.
RivDara is the commercial name under which CONSULTING IT R&R CORP operates and offers its services through the Site. Any reference to "RivDara" shall be understood as a reference to CONSULTING IT R&R CORP.
2. Legal Basis and Consent
We request your consent before installing non-essential cookies (analytics and advertising/retargeting) on your device, through a cookie banner or preference panel displayed on your first visit to the Site. You may accept all cookies, reject non-essential ones, or customize your preferences by category. Strictly necessary cookies do not require prior consent, as they are essential for the basic operation of the Site.
Legal note: Florida is an all-party consent state for the interception of electronic communications, pursuant to the Florida Security of Communications Act (Fla. Stat. § 934.03). In recent years, this law has been invoked in lawsuits against websites that use tracking pixels, session replay tools, or chatbots without proper disclosure and visitor consent, under the argument that such tools "intercept" communications between the visitor and the site. For this reason, and as a legal risk mitigation measure, CONSULTING IT R&R CORP implements a prior consent mechanism ("opt-in") for analytics and advertising cookies, rather than installing them automatically before obtaining the visitor's consent. It is strongly recommended to validate with a Florida attorney the specific consent banner tool (CMP) to be used, as well as the configuration of Google tags (Google Tag Manager/Consent Mode) and the Meta Pixel, to ensure that no non-essential cookies are triggered before obtaining the user's affirmative consent.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies (always active)
These cookies are essential for the Site to function properly (for example, remembering your cookie consent preferences, allowing secure navigation, and balancing server load). They do not require your consent because, without them, the Site could not function securely.
3.2 Analytics / Performance Cookies
We use analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, to understand how visitors interact with the Site (pages visited, time spent, traffic source, device, and approximate location) in an aggregate manner, in order to improve content and the browsing experience. These cookies are only activated if you give your consent.
3.3 Advertising and Retargeting Cookies
We use digital advertising tools, such as Meta Ads (Meta Pixel / Facebook Pixel) and Google Ads, to measure the effectiveness of our campaigns and show you relevant CONSULTING IT R&R CORP advertisements on other platforms (for example, Facebook, Instagram, or the Google display network) based on your previous visit to the Site ("retargeting" or "remarketing"). These cookies are only activated if you give your consent, and may be used by such third parties in accordance with their own privacy policies.
3.4 Summary Table
| Category | Example / Provider | Purpose | Consent required? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Site's own cookies (session, consent preferences) | Basic functionality and security of the Site | No |
| Analytics | Google Analytics | Measure traffic and browsing behavior in an aggregate manner | Yes |
| Advertising / Retargeting | Meta Pixel (Facebook/Instagram Ads), Google Ads | Show personalized ads on other platforms based on your visit to the Site | Yes |
4. How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through:
- The Site's cookie preference panel/banner, accessible via the "Cookie Preferences" link located in the footer of the Site.
- Your browser settings, where you can block or delete cookies (please note that blocking all cookies, including essential ones, may affect the functionality of the Site).
- Opt-out tools offered directly by third parties, such as: the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on; Meta ad settings in your account (Meta Ad Preferences); Google ad settings (Google Ads Settings); and the Digital Advertising Alliance (WebChoices) and Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) opt-out tools.
Please note that if you withdraw your consent or block non-essential cookies, certain features of the Site, as well as the personalization of advertising content, may no longer be available or may function differently.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on the Site are placed by third-party service providers (for example, Google LLC and Meta Platforms, Inc.), who act independently regarding the processing of information collected through their own technologies. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these third parties for more information on their practices:
- Google (Analytics / Ads): Privacy policy available at policies.google.com/privacy.
- Meta (Facebook / Instagram Ads): Privacy policy available at facebook.com/privacy/policy.
6. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" feature that allows you to indicate your preference not to be tracked. Currently, there is no uniform industry standard for interpreting such signals, so the Site does not automatically respond to them; however, you can exercise equivalent control through the cookie preference banner described in Section 4.
7. Updates to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in the cookies and technologies we use, or for legal or regulatory reasons. The current version will always be available on the Site, indicating the date of the last update.
