Cookie Policy

1. About This Policy

This policy explains how ReplayCore, a product of ForgeVector Software Limited, uses cookies and similar technologies on replaycore.com. Please read it together with our Privacy Policy.

Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. We also use your browser's local storage, which works in a similar way, for example to remember your cookie choice.

2. Your Choice

When you first visit, a banner asks whether you accept optional cookies. "Accept all" and "Reject all" are equally easy to choose, and "Choose" lets you turn Analytics and Advertising on or off separately. Nothing optional is pre-selected.

We remember your choice for 12 months, then ask again. You can change it at any time from Cookie settings in the site footer or the dashboard menu. If you reject advertising cookies, we delete the partner referral cookie.

If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a refusal of advertising cookies everywhere. In the UK, the EEA and Switzerland, we treat it as a refusal of all optional cookies.

3. Necessary Cookies

These are needed for the site and your account to work, so they do not need consent. They are first-party unless stated otherwise:

• a sign-in cookie, which lasts for your browser session, or 30 days if you choose to stay signed in;

• short-lived cookies that protect sign-up and sign-in, lasting from 10 minutes to 24 hours;

• cookies that stop the same request being sent repeatedly, lasting a few seconds;

• a language preference cookie;

• a short-lived security cookie (for example __cf_bm) that our security provider may set to filter automated traffic.

We also keep your cookie choice in local storage for 12 months, and a note of which analytics events have already been sent once, so they are not counted twice.

4. Analytics Cookies (with your consent)

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors find and use the site and dashboard, so we can improve ReplayCore. If you accept analytics cookies, Google sets:

• _ga, which tells visits from different browsers apart and lasts 2 years;

• _ga_KNK3KQPKWV, which keeps track of your session and lasts 2 years.

We do not send Google your name, email address or account identifiers.

We use Google Consent Mode. Google Analytics sets no cookies until you accept. Until then it receives only basic signals without cookies, such as the page, the time and your browser type, which Google uses to estimate total visitor numbers.

Google Analytics does not run on our admin pages, in replay players embedded on other websites, or on customers' own portal domains.

5. Advertising Cookies (with your consent)

If you arrive through a partner or affiliate link, we set rc_ref. This first-party cookie stores only the partner's referral code, for up to 30 days, so the partner is credited and any agreed discount is applied when you buy. It is not used to track you on other websites.

If you accept advertising cookies, we load the Reddit Pixel, an advertising measurement tool provided by Reddit, Inc. Reddit sets its own cookies (such as _rdt_uuid) to tell us when a visitor from a Reddit ad views a page, signs up, adds a server or buys a plan. It never loads before you accept, and never on admin pages, embedded players or customer portals. Reddit handles this data under its own privacy policy.

When you sign up, we record which link or campaign brought you (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_content, the Reddit click id rdt_cid and the page you arrived on) with your account, to measure our marketing. This doesn't use cookies: the details travel in the page address and the page's memory until you sign up.

The Advertising setting also controls whether Google may use analytics data to measure advertising.

6. Managing Cookies in Your Browser

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block necessary cookies, parts of the Service, such as signing in, will not work. For more guidance, see the ICO's website at ico.org.uk.

7. Changes and Contact

We update this policy when the cookies we use change, and the date at the top shows the latest version. If we add a new kind of optional cookie, we will ask for your consent again.
