Last updated: 3 October 2026
At Rank Me On First, we believe in being clear and open about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy provides detailed information about how and when we use cookies on our website.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text 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, Rank Me On First) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies".
2. Why Do 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.
3. Cookies We Use
Our website uses essential first-party cookies, and optional third-party cookies for analytics.
- PHPSESSID (essential): a session cookie that keeps our contact, proposal, audit and newsletter forms secure and remembers form errors so you don't lose what you typed. It contains no personal information and is deleted when you close your browser.
- Google Analytics / Tag Manager (optional): we use Google services to understand how visitors interact with our website. These cookies collect information anonymously and report website trends. They are only placed on your device if you accept cookies via our cookie banner.
You can manage your consent preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies, which will prompt our cookie banner to appear again.
4. How Can I Control Cookies?
Most web browsers let you view, block and delete cookies through their settings. Blocking the essential session cookie may stop our forms from working. To learn more about cookies, visit allaboutcookies.org.
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 revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
