What are cookies and local storage

Cookies are small text files that get stored on your computer when you visit certain web pages. Local storage is an industry standard technology that allows us to store and retrieve small amounts of data on your computer, mobile phone or other device. At RatedPeople.com we use cookies and local storage to remember you when you return to our site and to optimise your experience when landing on RatedPeople.com.

We don’t store personally identifiable information such as credit card details in cookies we create, but we do use encrypted information gathered from them to help improve your experience of the RatedPeople.com site.  For example, they help us to identify and resolve errors that may occur on the website.

From time to time we may have relationships with carefully-selected and monitored partners who may set cookies during your visit to be used for remarketing purposes; this means to show you products and services that you appear to be interested in (see the ‘third party cookie policy’ tab). If you’d like to opt out, please go to the Network Advertising Initiative website (opens in a new window – please note that we’re not responsible for the content of external websites).

We’re giving you this information as part of our initiative to comply with recent legislation, and to make sure we’re honest and clear about your privacy when using our website. We know you’d expect this from us, and please be assured that we’re working on a number of other privacy and cookie-related improvements to the website.
