Cookie Policy
Effective Date: January 1, 2024 | Last Updated: January 1, 2024
This Cookie Policy explains how Reviews Company ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit reviewscompany.com. By continuing to use our website, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy. You may withdraw consent at any time through your browser settings or our cookie preference center.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit — such as your login status, preferences, and items in a shopping cart — so you do not need to re-enter information every time you return. Cookies also allow us to analyze how our website is used so we can continually improve the user experience.
In addition to cookies, we may use similar tracking technologies such as web beacons (also called tracking pixels), local storage, and session storage. This policy applies to all such technologies.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as logging in, placing an order, or filling in a form. Without these cookies, services you have asked for — such as secure login areas and shopping cart functionality — cannot be provided.
- Session Cookie: Maintains your login session and keeps you authenticated as you navigate the site.
- CSRF Token Cookie: A security cookie that protects form submissions from cross-site request forgery attacks.
- Cart Cookie: Remembers items you have added to your cart during your session.
Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website. This information is collected in aggregated, anonymized form and helps us improve our website structure, content, and user experience.
- Google Analytics (_ga, _gid, _gat): Collects data on page views, session duration, bounce rates, and traffic sources. Data is anonymized before being sent to Google. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we use on our pages.
- Language/Region Preference: Remembers your preferred language or regional settings.
- Chat Widget Cookies: Set by our live chat provider to maintain chat session continuity.
Marketing & Targeting Cookies
These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They track your browsing activity across websites to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements. If you disable these cookies, you will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to you.
- Facebook Pixel: Used to measure the effectiveness of our Facebook advertising campaigns and to retarget visitors who have shown interest in our services.
- Google Ads (Google Tag Manager): Used to track conversions from Google Ads campaigns and serve relevant ads across the Google Display Network.
Affiliate Tracking Cookies
If you arrive at our website through an affiliate partner link, we set a cookie to record the referral. This allows us to credit our affiliate partners for any orders they generate. This cookie contains no personally identifiable information and is retained for 30 days.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control these cookies, and they are subject to the respective third parties' own privacy policies. Third-party services on our site that may set cookies include Google (Analytics, Ads, Fonts, Maps), Facebook, Stripe (payment processing), and our live chat provider.
4. How Long Do Cookies Last?
Cookies can be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (remain on your device for a set period or until manually deleted). Our essential session cookies expire at session end. Analytics cookies typically last 1–2 years. Marketing cookies vary by provider but typically last 30–90 days.
5. How to Manage Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can control cookies through:
- Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to view, manage, block, and delete cookies. Visit your browser's help documentation for specific instructions. Note: blocking all cookies may break certain website functionality.
- Opt-Out Links: For Google Analytics, use the GA Opt-out Add-on. For interest-based advertising, visit Your Online Choices (EU) or the NAI opt-out page (US).
Please be aware that restricting cookies may impact the functionality of our website. Essential cookies cannot be disabled without affecting core site functions such as login, checkout, and security.

When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.
