Cookie Policy.

Effective Date: May 18, 2026

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how HandlesX LLC ("we," "us," "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on rarehandle.co (the "Service").

This Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data more broadly.

2. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device and store information about your visit, such as preferences, login state, or browsing behavior.

We also use similar technologies including:

  • Local storage and session storage (browser-based data storage)
  • Pixels and web beacons (small graphics that track interactions)
  • SDKs (in mobile or embedded contexts)

For simplicity, this Policy refers to all of these as "cookies."

3. Types of Cookies We Use

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies (Always Active)

These cookies are essential for the Service to function. They cannot be disabled. Examples: session management, security tokens, cookie consent state, load balancing.

Legal basis (GDPR): Legitimate interest.

3.2 Functional Cookies (Optional)

These cookies enhance your experience by remembering choices (e.g., language, region, display preferences). Legal basis (GDPR): Consent.

3.3 Analytics Cookies (Optional)

Help us understand how visitors interact with the Service. Examples: Google Analytics 4 (_ga, _ga_*), custom analytics events. Legal basis (GDPR): Consent.

3.4 Marketing Cookies (Optional)

5. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party services we use. These providers have their own privacy and cookie policies:

We have no control over third-party cookies. You can manage them through the providers' own opt-out mechanisms or via your browser settings.

6. How to Manage Cookies

6.1 Our Cookie Banner

When you first visit our Service, you will see a cookie banner allowing you to Accept all, Reject all, or Manage preferences. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking "Cookie Settings" in the footer.

6.2 Browser Settings

You can also manage or delete cookies directly through your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the Service from working properly.

6.3 Opt-Out Tools

For advertising cookies specifically: Your Online Choices (EU), Digital Advertising Alliance (US), Network Advertising Initiative (US).

6.4 Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" signal. We currently do not respond to DNT signals due to the absence of an industry standard, but we honor consent choices made through our cookie banner.

7. Consent and Withdrawal

7.1 For EU/UK Users

Under GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive, we obtain your prior consent before placing non-essential cookies. You may withdraw consent at any time via "Cookie Settings" in the footer.

7.2 For California Residents

Under CCPA/CPRA, you have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where technically feasible.

7.3 For Other Users

Where applicable law does not require consent, we rely on legitimate interest for analytics and provide opt-out via the cookie banner as a best practice.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our practices. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent version.
