What This Policy Covers
This Cookie Policy explains how RMVFinder (rmvfinder.com and app.rmvfinder.com) uses cookies and similar browser storage technologies. This policy supplements our Privacy Policy.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. Similar technologies include browser local storage and session storage, which store data directly in your browser rather than as a separate file.
What We Use
RMVFinder uses first-party cookies and browser local storage for the Service to work, plus analytics tools (PostHog and Microsoft Clarity) that may set cookies. We do not currently use advertising cookies.
Essential / Functional Storage
These are necessary for the Service to work. They cannot be turned off without breaking core functionality.
| What is stored | Purpose | Where | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| RMV Scheduling URL | Retain your URL between page loads | Browser local storage | Until you clear it or disconnect |
| ZIP code | Remember your location for distance sorting | Browser local storage | Until you clear it |
| Selected service centers | Remember your chosen locations | Browser local storage | Until you clear it |
| Date and time preferences | Remember your monitoring window | Browser local storage | Until you clear it |
| Notification settings | Remember your chosen alert method | Browser local storage | Until you clear it |
| Push notification token | Deliver browser push notifications | Browser storage / our server | Active session |
Session Cookies
We may set a session cookie to maintain your connection state while using the web app. This cookie expires when you close your browser.
Analytics
We use PostHog, a product analytics platform, to understand how the Service is used and to improve it. PostHog may set cookies or use local storage to track anonymous usage data such as page views, feature interactions, and session information. PostHog does not sell your data and is used solely for our internal analytics purposes.
You can learn more about PostHog's privacy practices at posthog.com/privacy.
On rmvfinder.com we also use Microsoft Clarity for session heatmaps and recordings so we can see how the marketing site is used. Clarity may set cookies and send usage data to Microsoft. It is not used for advertising on our site.
You can learn more about Microsoft's privacy practices at microsoft.com/privacy.
What We Do Not Use (Currently)
- Advertising cookies — We do not use Google AdSense, Facebook Pixel, or any other advertising or behavioral tracking cookies at this time.
- Cross-site tracking — We do not track you across other websites.
Future Changes
We may introduce advertising in the future, which may involve third-party cookies. This policy will be updated and you will be notified before any such cookies are introduced. At that point, we will implement a cookie consent mechanism allowing you to accept or decline non-essential cookies.
How to Control Cookies and Local Storage
You can manage or clear cookies and local storage through your browser settings at any time.
Common browser instructions:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Clear browsing data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Clear Data
- Safari: Settings → Safari → Clear History and Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Privacy, Search and Services → Clear browsing data
Note: Clearing local storage will reset all your saved RMVFinder preferences (RMV URL, ZIP code, locations, date/time settings). You will need to re-enter them the next time you use the Service.
Disabling cookies in your browser may affect some functionality of the Service.
Changes to This Policy
We will update this Cookie Policy when we introduce new technologies or third-party services. The “Last Updated” date at the top will reflect any changes.
