Cookie Policy
Last updated: 26 August 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Ridgepath Analytics Co., Ltd. ("Ridgepath Analytics") uses cookies and similar technologies on system-ridgepath.click. For broader data handling, see our Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember preferences or understand how pages are used.
2. How we use cookies
We use a minimal set of cookies. None are used for advertising or cross-site tracking.
3. Cookie table
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| ridgepath-analytics-cookie-consent | Stores your Accept or Reject choice for optional analytics cookies | 1 year | Ridgepath Analytics (localStorage) |
| _ga | Distinguishes visitors for anonymised analytics (only if you Accept) | 2 years | Google Analytics (third party, if enabled) |
| _ga_* | Maintains analytics session state (only if you Accept) | 2 years | Google Analytics (third party, if enabled) |
4. Essential vs analytics
Essential: The consent preference key is required to remember your cookie choice and prevent the banner from reappearing every visit. Rejecting analytics does not block site functionality.
Analytics (optional): If you click Accept, we may load privacy-respecting analytics to understand which field journal articles and report pages visitors read. If you click Reject, analytics cookies are not set.
5. Managing cookies
You can change your choice at any time by clearing site data in your browser and revisiting the site — the consent banner will appear again. You may also block cookies through browser settings. Note that blocking all local storage may reset your consent preference on each visit.
6. Third-party cookies
Analytics cookies, when enabled, are set by the analytics provider's domain. We do not control third-party cookie policies directly; refer to the provider's documentation for additional opt-out tools.
7. Impact of disabling cookies
Disabling essential consent storage will not prevent you from reading the site but will show the cookie banner on each visit. Disabling analytics cookies has no effect on contacting us or reading our content.
