COOKIE POLICY: GOOGLE ANALYTICS DISCLOSURE

Last updated: March 3, 2026

1. How We Use Google Analytics

RatioReady uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how users interact with our image-processing dashboard and API documentation. This data helps us optimize server performance, improve the user interface, and identify which features (like specific aspect ratios) are most popular.

2. Data Collected

Google Analytics collects information such as:

  • Approximate Location: City and country level (IP addresses are anonymized/masked).
  • Device Data: Browser type, operating system, and screen resolution.
  • Behavioral Data: Pages visited, time spent on the dashboard, and button clicks.
  • Acquisition: How you found RatioReady (e.g., via an Etsy forum or Google search).

3. Specific Cookies Used

We use first-party cookies to track this data. Unlike third-party cookies, these are set directly by the ratioready.com domain.

_ga 2 Years Primary ID used to distinguish unique users. Analytics
_ga_<ID> 2 Years Used to persist and maintain session state. Analytics

4. Your Controls &amp; Consent

5. Data Transfers &amp; Safety

We use Google Consent Mode v2 to ensure that if you reject cookies, Google only receives "anonymous pings" without personal identifiers, allowing us to maintain basic site health metrics without violating your privacy.
