Cookie and Tracking Technologies Policy

Last Updated: March 16th, 2026

This Cookie and Tracking Technologies Policy explains how RevOptimal, LLC ("RevOptimal," "we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at www.revoptimal.com (the "Site") and in connection with our audience data and segmentation Services, whether data is collected through the Site or through our platform and partner integrations.

This Cookie and Tracking Technologies Policy supplements our Privacy Policy and should be read alongside our EEA & UK Privacy Notice and US States Privacy Notice, which together govern our overall data practices.

What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your browser or device when you visit a website. They allow websites to recognize your device, remember information about your visit, and collect data about how you interact with the site. Beyond cookies, we and our partners use a range of technologies that serve similar functions:

  • Cookies (First- and Third-Party) — Small data files stored in your browser that persist for a defined period. First-party cookies are set by RevOptimal directly. Third-party cookies are set by our partners and service providers operating on our Site.
  • Web Beacons and Pixel Tags — Invisible image files or lines of code embedded in web pages or emails that signal when content has been viewed or an action has been taken. In the advertising technology industry, pixel tracking is used to confirm ad delivery, measure campaign performance, and support audience segment verification.
  • Device Identifiers — Unique identifiers associated with a device, such as mobile advertising IDs (e.g., IDFA on Apple devices, GAID on Android devices) and connected TV identifiers. These are used in the audience data ecosystem to link activity across devices and environments.
  • Local and Session Storage — Browser-based storage mechanisms that function similarly to cookies but are not transmitted back to servers in the same manner. Used to store session-specific preferences and interaction data.
  • Log Files and Server-Side Tracking — Automatically collected records of server requests that capture IP addresses, browser types, referring URLs, and page interaction data.
  • JavaScript Tags and SDKs — Code deployed within partner environments that collects behavioral and interaction data in support of analytics and audience building.

How Cookies Support Our Business

Because audience segmentation is our business, it is important that we are transparent about the integral role cookies and tracking technologies play in our operations. Unlike companies that use cookies incidentally to support other services, tracking technologies are core to what we do. Specifically, cookies and tracking technologies support our business in the following ways:

  • Audience Segment Creation and Enrichment: We use cookie identifiers, device identifiers, and behavioral signals to build and enrich audience segments on behalf of our customers. This includes linking online behavioral data (pages visited, content consumed, interests demonstrated) with demographic, lifestyle, and other data points to create actionable audience profiles.
  • Identity Resolution: We use cookie-based and device-based identifiers to resolve identity across devices and environments, helping our customers understand how individuals move across channels.
  • Campaign Activation Support: We work with publishing partners, demand-side platforms, and advertising networks to activate audience segments in programmatic advertising environments. This involves the reading and writing of cookie identifiers and device identifiers in those environments.
  • Analytics and Measurement: We use tracking technologies to measure campaign performance, audience reach, and segment accuracy on behalf of our customers.
  • Site Analytics: We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our own website, which informs how we communicate our services and improve our Site experience.

Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies we use on our Site into the following groups, consistent with industry practice among advertising technology and audience data companies:

1. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for our Site to function and cannot be switched off. They do not require your consent and are not used for advertising or tracking purposes. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as logging in or completing a form.

Purpose Example Function Retention
Session management Maintaining your session as you navigate the Site Session
Security and fraud prevention Protecting against unauthorized access Session
Load balancing Distributing traffic across servers Session
Cookie consent preference storage Remembering your cookie choices 12 months
2. Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and understand how visitors interact with our Site. All information collected is aggregated and used to improve Site performance. We ask your consent before placing these cookies.

Cookie / Service Purpose Retention
Google Analytics (_ga, _ga*) Counting page views, understanding traffic sources and user journeys 2 years
Internal analytics Understanding which pages and content are most visited 13 months
Performance monitoring Identifying technical errors and page load issues Session
HubSpot (_hs, hs_*, hubspot-*) Marketing and support 12 months
3. Functional / Preference Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we use on our Site. We ask your consent before placing these cookies.

Purpose Example Function Retention
Language and display preferences Remembering your regional settings 12 months
Form pre-fill Saving information you have previously entered Session
4. Advertising and Audience Data Cookies

These cookies are central to our business as an audience segmentation company. They support the creation, validation, and activation of audience segments. We ask your consent before placing these cookies, and you may opt out at any time.

5. First-Party Advertising Cookies

We set first-party cookies on our Site to collect behavioral signals — such as pages visited and content consumed — that may be incorporated into audience profiles. These signals help us understand the types of professionals and businesses that engage with our Site.

6. Third-Party Advertising and Segmentation Cookies

We work with third-party partners — including identity graph providers, demand-side platforms, data management platforms, and measurement companies — who may deploy cookies on our Site. These partners may independently collect data about your visit in accordance with their own privacy policies.

Third-party advertising cookies on our Site may be used to:

  • Link your browser or device to a pseudonymous audience identifier
  • Validate segment membership and reach estimates
  • Measure advertising effectiveness and attribution
  • Support cross-device identity resolution

Key Third-Party Cookie Partners

We work with partners including, but not limited to:

Partner Category Function Opt-Out
Identity resolution partners Linking pseudonymous identifiers across environments Partner opt-out page
Demand-side platform partners Supporting programmatic audience activation NAI Opt-Out Tool

Cookie Identifier Types in the Advertising Ecosystem

Because RevOptimal operates exclusively in the audience data and advertising technology space, we think it is important to explain the types of identifiers used in our ecosystem beyond traditional browser cookies:

  • Mobile Advertising IDs (MAIDs): Device-level identifiers (Apple IDFA, Google GAID) used to support audience segment activation on mobile devices and matching (on a de-identified basis) data within the marketing and advertising ecosystem. Consumers can reset or opt out of MAID-based tracking through their device settings.
  • Hashed Email Addresses: Where customers provide hashed email addresses as match keys for audience segment activation, these identifiers may be used to match audiences across partner environments without sharing raw personal data.
  • IP-Based Signals: IP addresses are used to infer geographic location and, in some contexts, to support household-level inferences and audience segment assignment. We do not use IP addresses alone to build individual profiles.
  • Universal IDs and Privacy-Preserving Identifiers: The advertising industry is transitioning toward privacy-preserving identifiers, including solutions such as Unified ID 2.0 and similar frameworks. We work with partners that support these emerging standards to the extent they are applicable to our audience segment use cases.

Our Approach to Consent

We obtain your consent before placing any non-essential cookies on your device. Our approach aligns with industry best practices as reflected in the policies of advertising technology and audience data companies operating in our space. When you first visit our Site, a cookie consent banner will appear explaining our cookie practices and allowing you to accept, reject, or customize your cookie preferences.

What constitutes valid consent:

  • Freely given — you can reject non-essential cookies without losing access to our Site
  • Specific — you can accept or reject different categories of cookies independently
  • Informed — this policy and our consent banner explain what each category does
  • Unambiguous — consent requires an active, affirmative action (no pre-ticked boxes)
Global Privacy Control (GPC)

We recognize and honor Global Privacy Control signals from your browser as a valid opt-out of non-essential cookies and tracking in states where GPC is legally recognized, including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, and Texas.

Where a GPC signal is detected, we will not load non-essential third-party cookies. If you have separately and voluntarily consented to specific advertising cookies through our consent interface, those preferences will be respected regardless of GPC unless you update your preferences.
