Cookie Policy
Last Updated: January 24, 2025
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how PageRoast ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at https://pageroast.io (the "Website") or use our services. This policy provides you with clear and comprehensive information about the cookies we use and the purposes for using them.
By continuing to use our Website, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies, you should set your browser settings accordingly or not use our Website. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our Website and the services we are able to offer you.
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, PageRoast) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and when it visits certain other websites.
Cookies can remain on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time. Some cookies are "session cookies," meaning that they exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Other cookies are "persistent cookies," meaning that they survive after your browser is closed. Persistent cookies can be used by websites to recognize your computer when you open your browser and browse the Internet again.
3. Similar Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies on our Website, including:
3.1 Web Beacons (Pixel Tags)
Web beacons (also known as pixel tags, clear GIFs, or tracking pixels) are tiny graphics with unique identifiers that are used to track the online movements of web users. Unlike cookies, which are stored on a user's computer hard drive, web beacons are embedded invisibly on web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. Web beacons may be used to deliver or communicate with cookies, count users who have visited certain pages, and understand usage patterns.
3.2 Local Storage
Local storage (including HTML5 local storage) allows websites and applications to store data in your browser. Local storage is similar to cookies but can store larger amounts of data and the data is stored on your device rather than being sent to a server with every request.
3.3 Session Storage
Session storage is similar to local storage but the data is cleared when the browser session ends (typically when the browser window or tab is closed).
3.4 Device Fingerprinting
Device fingerprinting is a technique that collects information about your device, such as browser type, operating system, screen resolution, and other device characteristics. This information can be used to identify your device without the use of cookies.

The main third-party services we use that may set cookies include:

9. Do Not Track Signals
Some web browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites you visit, indicating that you do not want to be tracked. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how companies should respond to DNT signals.
At this time, we do not respond to DNT signals in browsers because there is no industry-wide consensus on how to interpret these signals. We will continue to monitor developments in this area and update our practices if a standard is established.
Regardless of DNT settings, you can manage your cookie preferences using the methods described in Section 7 above.
10. Global Privacy Control (GPC)
The Global Privacy Control (GPC) is a browser signal that allows users to notify businesses of their privacy preferences, including opting out of the sale or sharing of their personal information.
We honor GPC signals as required by applicable law. When we detect a GPC signal from your browser, we will treat it as a valid opt-out request for the sale or sharing of personal information under applicable US state privacy laws.
To learn more about GPC and how to enable it in your browser, visit: https://globalprivacycontrol.org/

Our Website is not intended for children under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 16, we will take steps to delete such information as soon as possible.
