1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide site operators with useful information about how visitors interact with their pages.

5. Your Cookie Choices

Via Our Cookie Banner

When you first visit RapidFast, you will see a cookie consent banner. You can choose to "Accept All" (which enables analytics and advertising cookies) or "Decline" (which limits us to essential functional cookies only). Your choice is stored for one year.

Via Your Browser Settings

You can configure your browser to block or delete cookies. Here is how to manage cookies in the most common browsers:

Opt Out of Google Advertising

To opt out of Google's use of cookies for personalized advertising across all websites, visit the Google Ads Settings page or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

6. Do Not Track

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for responding to DNT signals, so our website does not currently respond to DNT browser signals. We will update this policy if this changes.

7. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the cookies we use, or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
