Cookie Policy
Last Updated: June 13, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how RacewayIQ uses cookies and similar technologies.
1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include pixels, local storage, session storage, IndexedDB, browser storage, SDKs, tracking tags, web beacons, and other technologies that store or retrieve information on your device or browser.
2. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Operate and secure the Service.
- Authenticate users and maintain login sessions.
- Remember preferences and settings.
- Improve performance and reliability.
- Analyze website usage and feature adoption.
- Detect fraud, abuse, automated scraping, and malicious activity.
- Measure marketing effectiveness and referral sources.
- Improve usability and troubleshoot technical issues.
- Personalize certain aspects of the user experience where applicable.
3. Types of Cookies
Essential Cookies
Required for security and core site functionality. These cookies are necessary for the Service to function properly and generally cannot be disabled without affecting core functionality.
Authentication Cookies
Used to keep account users signed in, protect account pages, manage secure sessions, prevent unauthorized access, and support account authentication providers such as Supabase or future authentication services. Guest users may use calculators without creating an account, but saved calculation history and PDF export functionality require authentication.
Security Cookies
Security-related cookies may be used to detect suspicious activity, prevent fraud, mitigate automated attacks, enforce rate limits, protect user accounts, and maintain platform integrity.
Functional Cookies
May remember unit preferences, theme settings, calculator defaults, recent calculator selections, saved interface preferences, and other user customization settings.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Service, including which calculators are used, which buttons are clicked, navigation paths, feature adoption, export activity, session duration, and areas where users experience friction. Analytics are configured, where reasonably possible, to avoid intentionally collecting raw calculation inputs, project names, prepared-by names, notes, or other user-entered engineering content.
Session Replay and Heatmap Technologies
Session replay and heatmap technologies may record clicks, scrolling behavior, mouse movement, page interactions, and navigation patterns to improve usability and identify interface issues. These tools should be configured to mask or avoid intentionally collecting sensitive project information, free-text fields, calculation inputs, passwords, or authentication credentials.
Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies may be used to measure advertising campaigns, referral sources, conversions, remarketing effectiveness, affiliate performance, and visitor acquisition channels. They may also help limit repeated advertisements and evaluate campaign success.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Third-party providers may place cookies or similar technologies on the Service, including authentication providers, hosting providers, cloud infrastructure providers, analytics providers, customer support tools, payment processors, content delivery networks (CDNs), marketing platforms, and embedded services.
RacewayIQ does not control third-party cookie policies, and users should review the privacy practices of those providers separately.
5. Managing Cookies
You may manage or disable cookies through your browser settings or through any cookie consent tools provided on the website. Blocking certain cookies may impair functionality, prevent account login, disable saved preferences, or limit access to portions of the Service.
Existing cookies may remain stored on your device until manually removed or automatically expired according to your browser settings.
6. Cookie Banner
Where required by applicable law, RacewayIQ will provide a cookie banner or consent management platform allowing users to accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookies. Essential cookies required for operation and security may continue to function regardless of consent choices where permitted by law.
7. Browser Storage
In addition to cookies, RacewayIQ may use browser local storage, session storage, IndexedDB, or similar technologies to temporarily store calculator preferences, unit settings, interface state, authentication information, or other functionality necessary for operation. These technologies may persist until manually cleared or automatically removed by the browser.
8. Future Technologies
RacewayIQ may adopt additional storage or tracking technologies in the future that perform functions substantially similar to cookies. References to cookies in this Policy should be interpreted to include such technologies where applicable.
9. Do Not Track Signals
At this time, RacewayIQ does not respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals or similar mechanisms unless required by applicable law.
10. International Compliance
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have additional rights regarding cookies and tracking technologies under applicable privacy laws. RacewayIQ will seek consent or provide choices where required by law.
11. Updates
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or Service functionality. Continued use of the Service following updates constitutes acceptance of the revised Cookie Policy to the extent permitted by applicable law.
