Cookies Policy

Effective date: December 8, 2025

This Cookies Policy explains how Ellwood Bristol (“Ellwood Bristol”, “we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on the websites, web applications, and related services for Reactivid (the “Services”). Read this together with our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.

Ellwood Bristol is based in Ontario, Canada. We provide this notice in a way that is intended to be compatible with global requirements (for example, Canada’s PIPEDA, EU/UK ePrivacy and GDPR/UK GDPR, and U.S. CCPA/CPRA), but your specific obligations may vary by jurisdiction.

1) What Are Cookies & Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device that store information to help sites and apps work and to remember your preferences. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, web beacons/pixels, SDKs, and device identifiers.

First-party cookies: Set by Reactivid / Ellwood Bristol.
Third-party cookies: Set by providers whose services we integrate (for example, analytics, support, or infrastructure providers).
Session cookies: Expire when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies: Remain until their set expiration or until you delete them.

2) Why We Use These Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies in connection with Reactivid to:

Operate the Services: Authentication, maintaining logged-in sessions, routing, fraud prevention, load balancing, and security.
Remember preferences: Theme (light/dark), language/locale, cookie consents, and UI preferences for the scripting, voiceover, storyboard, and export surfaces.
Analyze performance: Understand how features are used (for example, which pipelines are most active) and improve reliability and usability.
Communicate: Provide support, contact flows, and in-product status messages.
Optional personalization: With consent where required, tailor certain views or messages (for example, showing relevant product updates). This is not required to use the core Services.

3) Cookie Categories We Use

Category	Purpose	Examples	Consent Required?
Strictly Necessary	Core functionality (login sessions, routing, CSRF, security).	`session_id`, `csrf_token`, `lb_route`	No (cannot be disabled)
Preferences	Remember choices such as theme and locale.	`theme` (light/dark), `locale`	May require consent in some regions
Analytics	Measure usage in aggregate to improve stability and feature design.	Analytics SDK / browser tag	Yes (opt-in in EU/UK; opt-out elsewhere where applicable)
Performance	Diagnostics, crash reporting, and telemetry.	Telemetry / diagnostics tokens	Often consent-based in EU/UK
Support & Communication	Enable help widgets or in-product messaging.	Support widget/session cookies	Yes (varies by provider & region)
Advertising (if used)	Measure campaign performance and avoid repeatedly serving irrelevant ads.	Ad network tags / IDs	Yes (opt-in in EU/UK; opt-out / “Do Not Sell or Share” right under CPRA)

Note on Advertising

Ellwood Bristol does not sell personal information for money. If we ever use ad technologies that constitute “sharing” under the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), you will be provided an opt-out option (for example, Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information), and we will honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where legally required.

4) Specific Cookies & Retention

Exact cookies and lifetimes can vary by release and by which parts of Reactivid you use. Representative examples are listed below. Replace placeholders with your live configuration when deploying.

Name	Provider	Purpose	Type	Expiration
`session_id`	Ellwood Bristol / Reactivid	Maintain logged-in session	First-party HTTP (strictly necessary)	Session
`csrf_token`	Ellwood Bristol / Reactivid	Prevent cross-site request forgery	First-party HTTP (strictly necessary)	Session
`theme`	Ellwood Bristol / Reactivid	Store light/dark preference	Local storage (preferences)	Persistent (until cleared)
`analytics_id`	Analytics Provider	Aggregated usage analytics	Third-party cookie / storage (analytics)	Up to 13 months (EU/UK best practice)
`support_widget`	Support Provider	Enable support chat/session	Third-party cookie (support)	As set by provider

We aim to minimize persistent identifiers, respect regional retention norms (such as limiting analytics ID lifetimes in the EU/UK), and favor privacy-preserving defaults where feasible.

5) Legal Bases & Regional Disclosures

Canada (PIPEDA): We obtain meaningful consent for non-essential cookies, identify purposes, and limit collection to what is reasonably required.
EU/UK (GDPR + ePrivacy): We obtain prior consent for non-essential cookies and allow withdrawal at any time, typically through a banner or settings panel.
U.S. (CCPA/CPRA): We provide notice of categories used, honor opt-out of “sale”/“sharing” where applicable, and support rights described in our Privacy Policy.

6) Your Choices & Managing Cookies

You can manage cookies and similar technologies via:

In-product controls: A cookie banner or settings panel (where shown) to accept, reject, or fine-tune categories beyond strictly necessary cookies.
Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies via privacy controls (for example, “Settings → Privacy → Cookies”).
Do Not Track / Global Privacy Control: We recognize legally required GPC signals where applicable, particularly in relation to “sale”/“sharing” under CPRA.
Provider opt-outs: Some analytics or advertising providers offer their own add-ons or opt-out pages.

How to clear or block cookies (common browsers)

Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
Safari (macOS/iOS): Preferences/Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

Steps vary by version and device. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may impair or prevent core functionality of Reactivid.

7) Global Privacy Control (GPC) & Do Not Track

If we engage in activities that qualify as “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under CPRA, we will treat a valid GPC signal as an opt-out request for the browser that sends it. Where legally required, we will also configure analytics and advertising categories to respect such signals.

Traditional “Do Not Track” (DNT) browser signals are not yet consistently interpreted by industry. Where applicable law requires us to honor such signals, we will do so; otherwise, please use our in-product controls or browser settings.

8) Children & Teens

The Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly place non-essential cookies in connection with users we know to be under 13. Parents or guardians may contact us to request deletion of a child’s information or to inquire about our practices, as described in our Privacy Policy.

9) Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time (for example, when we add or remove vendors, technologies, or categories). If changes are material, we will provide appropriate notice (for example, via banner, in-product message, or email where appropriate) and update the effective date at the top of this page.
