Cookie Policy for redmon.biz

Last Updated: October 23, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how redmon.biz (“we,” “our,” or “the Site”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize your device, remember your privacy preferences, and analyze site traffic when you visit redmon.biz and its related applications. This policy complements our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies do not personally identify you by name or email address; instead, they allow a website to recognize your browser, remember your settings (such as your cookie consent preferences), and understand how visitors interact with pages on the Site.

In this Cookie Policy, the term “cookies” also refers to similar browser storage mechanisms such as HTML5 localStorage used to persist your consent configuration locally on your device.

  • First-Party Cookies: Cookies set directly by redmon.biz and readable only by our domain.
  • Third-Party Services: Analytics scripts provided by trusted partners (specifically Google Analytics 4) that set first-party cookies on our domain when you grant analytics consent.

2. Why We Use Cookies & Google Consent Mode v2

We use cookies for two primary purposes:

  1. Strictly Necessary Site Operation: Storing and honoring your privacy and cookie consent choices across page visits.
  2. Performance & Analytics: Understanding aggregate visitor engagement, page views, and site performance through Google Analytics 4 (G-GL2TH9FKBW), only when permitted by your consent settings.

Our website implements Google Consent Mode v2. Before Google Analytics loads on any page, our site sets default consent signals (denied by default for non-essential storage until you make a selection) across the following Google Consent Mode v2 parameters:

Consent ParameterPurposeDefault State
security_storageEnables storage related to security and storing user consent choices.granted
analytics_storageEnables storage (such as _ga cookies) related to visit duration and analytics.denied (until accepted)
functionality_storageEnables storage that supports non-essential site functionality and UI preferences.denied (until accepted)

ad_storageEnables storage related to advertising. (redmon.biz does not serve ads.)denied
ad_user_dataControls whether user data may be sent to Google for advertising purposes.denied
ad_personalizationControls whether personalized advertising may be enabled.denied

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

Analytics & Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and IP-anonymized.

Advertising & Marketing Cookies

We do not run third-party advertising networks or sell personal data.

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

  • Cookie Preferences Modal: Click Manage Cookie Preferences here, in the Legal sidebar, or in the website footer at any time to toggle specific cookie categories on or off.

5. Managing Cookies via Browser Settings

In addition to our on-site Cookie Preferences tool, most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. You can configure your browser to block all cookies, delete existing cookies, or notify you before a cookie is placed.

For instructions on managing cookies in popular browsers, please refer to the official documentation below:

  • Google Chrome
  • Apple Safari (macOS) and Apple Safari (iOS/iPadOS)
  • Mozilla Firefox

You may also opt out of Google Analytics globally across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
