This Policy explains how Rahoto uses cookies and similar technologies on this marketing website. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy; where we process personal data on your behalf, theData Processing Agreement governs that processing.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a site stores on your device. Afirst-party cookie is set by Rahoto; athird-party cookie is set by another domain. We also treat equivalent technologies such as localStorage the same way for consent purposes. We group cookies into four categories below.
2. What we use today
We keep this site deliberately lean. Fonts are self-hosted, and we run no advertising or third-party tracking. We set onlystrictly-necessary cookies (the cookies the site cannot function without), including the application's authentication and session cookies and the consent-preference cookie this banner creates, plus onefunctional convenience flag set by the application after sign-in (see section 4). If you opt into Analytics, the site sends anonymous page-view and CTA events to Rahoto without setting an analytics cookie or loading a third-party script. Marketing technology remains unused.
3. Strictly necessary
Always active. These are required to sign you in, keep your session secure, and remember your cookie choice. Because they are essential, they are not subject to consent, but we list them for transparency.
| Cookie | Purpose | Party | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
rahoto_cookie_consent | Stores your cookie choices so we don't ask again and so non-essential scripts stay gated. | First-party | 6 months |
| Authentication / session | Signs you in to the Rahoto application and keeps the session secure (set when you use the app). | First-party | Session to short-lived; refresh tokens per plan |
| Security / anti-forgery | Protects forms and authenticated requests against cross-site request forgery. | First-party | Session |
4. Functional / preferences
Cookies that remember non-essential choices to improve your experience. This marketing site has no theme switch or other stored preference beyond your consent choice (covered under strictly necessary). One functional cookie is visible here today:
| Cookie | Purpose | Party | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
rahoto_session_hint | A yes/no convenience flag the Rahoto application sets after you sign in (and clears on sign-out) so this site can show "Open app" instead of "Sign in". It is not set by this marketing site. Contains no token, identifier, or personal data — its value is always the constant 1, and the site works identically without it. | First-party (set by the application) | 30 days, or until sign-out |
5. Analytics
If you opt in through the Analytics toggle, Rahoto records aggregate page views and selected CTA destinations so we can measure which discovery pages help readers. The event contains the pathname, the page type, and—after a relevant link is selected—a controlled destination label such assignup or documentation. It contains no query string, form content, session identifier, user ID, organisation ID, IP address, user agent, or referrer. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals cause the backend to discard the event. Nothing fires before consent, and withdrawing consent stops future events.
| Cookie | Purpose | Party | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| No analytics cookie | Consent-gated anonymous page-view and CTA events. | First-party Rahoto endpoint | Up to 12 months; no cross-visit identifier is stored |
6. Marketing
Cookies that would support advertising or campaign measurement.None are used today, and we have no plans to track you across sites. If we ever add anything in this category, it would load only after you opt in via the Marketing toggle and would be disclosed here first.
7. Managing and withdrawing consent
On your first visit you can Accept all, Reject non-essential, or Manage preferences to choose categories individually. Analytics and Marketing default to off — we never pre-tick them. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time:
- Select Cookie settings in the site footer to re-open the preference center.
- Withdrawing consent stops the relevant non-essential cookies from loading going forward. You can also clear cookies in your browser settings.
- Strictly-necessary cookies cannot be switched off, as the site would not work without them.
Your choice is stored in the first-party rahoto_cookie_consentcookie described above. Because non-essential scripts are gated behind your consent, no analytics or marketing technology runs until you opt in.
