Cookie Policy

Last Updated: December 7, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how counter.complexityrd.site ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies, pixels, beacons, and similar technologies (collectively, "Cookies") to recognize you when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners in order 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, counter.complexityrd.site) 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 (e.g., analytics, interactive content, and authentication).

2. Why We Use Cookies

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Website.

Essential Website Cookies:

These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas.

• Local Storage (Preferences): We use browser localStorage to persist your "Dark Mode" setting across sessions. This ensures you don't have to toggle the theme every time you visit.
• Local Storage (History): We store the ID of the last TikTok video you successfully searched for. This allows us to instantly reload that data when you return to the page, improving your user experience.
• Consent Cookie: We store a simple flag to remember that you have accepted this Cookie Policy so we don't annoy you with the banner again.

Performance and Analytics Cookies:

These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our Website for you.

• Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous information about visitor behavior, such as which pages are visited most often. This data tells us what content is most popular and helps us prioritize improvements.

Security Cookies:

• Cloudflare: We use Cloudflare to secure our website. Cloudflare may set a __cf_bm cookie to identify trusted web traffic and separate it from malicious bots. This is essential for preventing DDoS attacks.

3. How Can I Control Cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted (for example, your Dark Mode preference may not save).

4. Subdomain Specificity

Please note that cookies set by this subdomain counter.complexityrd.site are technically distinct from cookies that may be set by the main domain (complexityrd.site) or other subdomains. Managing your preferences on this tool does not automatically change your preferences for the main editorial site.

5. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.

6. Contact Us

If you have any questions about our use of cookies or other technologies, please email us at counter@complexityrd.site.
