Effective date: 9 August 2026
Last updated: 9 August 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how BRAHMABIT SRL, operating RankBIT, uses cookies and similar technologies on the RankBIT website and Platform.
It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small pieces of information stored on or accessed from a user’s device when interacting with a website or online service.
Similar functionality may also be implemented through technologies such as:
- local storage;
- session storage;
- pixels;
- tags;
- SDKs;
- similar device identifiers.
For purposes of this Policy, we refer collectively to these technologies as “cookies” where appropriate.
2. WHY DOES RANKBIT USE COOKIES?
RankBIT may use cookies for purposes including:
- keeping users logged in;
- maintaining sessions;
- protecting Accounts;
- preventing fraud;
- remembering preferences;
- operating checkout functionality;
- remembering cookie preferences;
- measuring website usage;
- analyzing performance;
- improving user experience;
- attribution;
- advertising and remarketing, where enabled and consented to.
3. LEGAL FRAMEWORK
Romanian Law no. 506/2004 provides that storing information or obtaining access to information stored in terminal equipment generally requires user agreement after relevant prior information has been provided, subject to the statutory exceptions.
The European ePrivacy framework contains corresponding rules concerning terminal-device storage/access, while GDPR applies where information processed through these technologies constitutes personal data. (EUR-Lex)
The EDPB’s consent guidance states that valid GDPR consent must satisfy requirements such as being freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous. (European Data Protection Board)
4. STRICTLY NECESSARY COOKIES
These cookies are required to operate the website or provide functionality explicitly requested by the user.
They may support:
- Account authentication;
- security;
- checkout;
- shopping cart;
- session management;
- fraud prevention;
- load balancing;
- cookie-consent preferences.
Where a cookie qualifies for an applicable strictly necessary exemption, consent may not be required for that cookie.
These cookies should not be disabled through the RankBIT cookie-consent interface where doing so would prevent the requested Service from functioning.
5. FUNCTIONAL COOKIES
Functional cookies may remember preferences such as:
- language;
- display options;
- Account preferences;
- interface settings.
Where legally required, these cookies are activated only after obtaining consent.
6. ANALYTICS COOKIES
Analytics technologies may help us understand:
- page visits;
- traffic sources;
- user navigation;
- website performance;
- device categories;
- interaction patterns;
- conversion performance.
Where consent is required, analytics cookies are not activated until consent has been provided.
7. MARKETING COOKIES
Where enabled, marketing technologies may help:
- measure advertising campaigns;
- attribute conversions;
- create advertising audiences;
- limit repeated advertising;
- perform remarketing;
- understand advertising performance.
Such cookies will be activated only where there is an appropriate legal basis and consent is obtained where required.
8. FIRST-PARTY AND THIRD-PARTY COOKIES
First-party cookies
These are placed by the RankBIT domain.
They may support:
- login;
- security;
- sessions;
- consent preferences;
- checkout;
- functionality.
Third-party cookies
These may be set or accessed by external providers integrated into our website.
Examples of provider categories may include:
- analytics providers;
- payment providers;
- advertising networks;
- video providers;
- customer-support services;
- anti-fraud systems.
The exact technologies deployed may change as the website evolves.
9. SESSION AND PERSISTENT COOKIES
Session cookies
These generally expire when the browser session ends.
Persistent cookies
These remain for a predefined duration or until manually removed.
Retention duration depends on the purpose and provider.
10. CURRENT COOKIE REGISTER
Important: this table should be populated from the actual production website after the final analytics, advertising, payment and consent integrations are installed.
Do not publish invented cookie names.
Use this structure:
| Cookie / Technology | Provider | Purpose | Category | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| [cookie_name] | RankBIT | Authentication/session | Strictly Necessary | [duration] |
| [cookie_name] | RankBIT | Cookie consent preferences | Strictly Necessary | [duration] |
| [cookie_name] | [provider] | Website analytics | Analytics | [duration] |
| [cookie_name] | [provider] | Conversion measurement | Marketing | [duration] |
| [cookie_name] | [payment provider] | Payment/fraud functionality | Strictly Necessary | [duration] |
I would generate this final table automatically from a real cookie scan of the production RankBIT domain, rather than guessing it.
11. COOKIE CONSENT
When legally required, RankBIT requests consent before placing non-essential cookies.
Users should be able to select categories such as:
Necessary
Always active.
Analytics
Optional.
Functional
Optional where consent is required.
Marketing
Optional.
The EDPB has specifically addressed problematic cookie-banner practices and emphasized that cookies requiring consent should not be set before consent is obtained. (European Data Protection Board)
12. WITHDRAWING OR CHANGING CONSENT
Consent can be withdrawn or changed at any time through:
Cookie Settings
The website should therefore include a persistent Cookie Settings link, preferably in the footer.
Withdrawal should be as accessible as giving consent.
13. BROWSER CONTROLS
Users may also delete or block cookies through browser settings.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent certain functionality from operating correctly, including:
- login;
- checkout;
- security;
- saved preferences.
14. DO NOT TRACK AND SIMILAR SIGNALS
Browser privacy controls continue to evolve.
Where RankBIT implements support for recognized browser-level consent or privacy signals, this Policy may be updated accordingly.
15. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
Third-party providers used for analytics or other technologies may process information outside the EEA.
Where GDPR applies, such transfers are subject to appropriate Chapter V safeguards where required. (EUR-Lex)
Further information is available in the Privacy Policy.
16. CHANGES TO THIS COOKIE POLICY
We may update this Policy if:
- cookies change;
- providers change;
- technologies change;
- legal requirements change;
- functionality changes.
The date at the top identifies the latest revision.
