Radiate Validator LLC – Cookie & Preferences Policy
Effective Date: March 28, 2026
Radiate Validator LLC (“Radiate,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to operate, secure, and improve our websites and services, including radiatestudio.ai and radiatevalidator.com.
This Cookie & Preferences Policy explains what cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function properly, remember your preferences, and provide insights into how the site is used.
We may also use similar technologies such as local storage, SDKs, and pixels.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
2.1 Essential Cookies (Always Active)
These cookies are necessary for the website and services to function and cannot be disabled. They include cookies used for:
- Authentication and account access
- Security and fraud prevention
- Load balancing and infrastructure reliability
Legal basis: Legitimate interests / performance of a contract
2.2 Preference Cookies
These cookies remember your settings and preferences, such as:
- Language
- Theme or display preferences
Legal basis: Consent where required by applicable law. Where preference cookies are strictly necessary to store user-requested settings, processing is based on performance of a contract or legitimate interests, as permitted by law.
2.3 Analytics and Application Monitoring (Optional)
We use optional analytics technologies with consent where required by law for client-side cookies/SDK/local-storage tracking. Where permitted by law, we may also process limited server-side operational telemetry that does not rely on browser storage for security, fraud prevention, and service reliability. Optional analytics technologies may include, where deployed on the relevant surface, Firebase Analytics/Performance, PostHog, Hotjar, and Google Analytics. Depending on the tool and context, these technologies may use cookies, SDKs, local storage, or similar mechanisms. We also use Sentry for security, error logging, and service reliability monitoring as a strictly necessary operational service; it is not used for advertising profiling.
2.4 Cookie and Local-Storage Inventory
| Technology | Provider | Purpose | Identifier Type | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics | Website analytics | Cookies / identifiers | Up to 14 months | |
| Firebase Analytics / Performance | App analytics / performance | SDK / device identifiers | Up to 14 months | |
| PostHog | PostHog | Product analytics | Cookies / local storage / device identifiers | Up to 12 months |
| Hotjar | Hotjar | Session replay / UX analytics | Cookies / local storage | Up to 12 months |
| Sentry | Sentry | Error / performance monitoring | Event / diagnostic identifiers | Up to 90 days |
| cookie_consent | Radiate | Stores cookie preference | Local storage | Until changed / deleted |
| analytics_consent | Radiate | Stores analytics preference | Local storage | Until changed / deleted |
3. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Where required by law, we provide a cookie or tracking notice that allows you to manage non-essential cookies on supported surfaces. You can update your preferences at any time via (i) “Cookie Preferences” in the website footer where available, (ii) in-app preference controls where available, and/or (iii) your browser settings. You can withdraw consent to optional technologies at any time through available in-app or website controls. Withdrawal does not affect essential technologies required to operate the Services.
Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.
4. International Data Transfers
Some cookies and analytics tools may involve processing data in the United States or other jurisdictions. Where required, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses and other valid transfer mechanisms recognized under applicable law. If we later certify under an approved data-transfer framework (such as the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework), we will update this Policy accordingly.
5. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie & Preferences Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the effective date and provide notice where required.
