Cookie Policy
1. About This Policy
Routeharvest, Inc. ("the Company," "we," "us," or "our") operates routeharvest.com (the "Site"). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar storage technologies we deploy on the Site, why we use them, and how you can control them.
Routeharvest is a demand forecasting platform for mid-market manufacturers and distributors. The Site includes a public marketing presence and a customer-facing platform login. This Policy covers the public Site. Data processed within the authenticated platform is governed by your service agreement.
2. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognize your device on subsequent visits and store preferences or session identifiers. Similar technologies include localStorage (used on this Site for banner dismissal), sessionStorage, and browser-side caching via service workers.
3. Cookies We Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary
These cookies are required for basic site operation. They cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality.
| Name / Key | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Session cookie (auth) | Maintains your login session in the Routeharvest platform. | Session |
| csrf_token | Prevents cross-site request forgery on form submissions. | Session |
3.2 Functional
These store preferences to improve your experience. They are set only after you interact with the relevant feature.
| Name / Key | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| cookie-banner-dismissed-ts (localStorage) | Records when you dismissed the cookie notice so we do not show it again for six months. | 6 months (localStorage, cleared on browser data clear) |
3.3 Analytics
We use a first-party analytics setup to measure aggregate page views, referral sources, and session counts. We do not use third-party advertising networks or cross-site tracking technologies. Analytics are active under our notice-only consent model unless your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, in which case analytics are disabled.
| Name / Key | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _rhvt_a (first-party) | Aggregate page-view and session analytics. No cross-site tracking or advertising. | Up to 13 months |
3.4 We Do Not Use
We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, social media tracking pixels, or any third-party cross-site behavioral analytics. We do not sell data collected via cookies to third parties.
4. Consent Model
routeharvest.com operates on a notice-only consent model for US visitors. Strictly necessary and functional cookies are active by default. Analytics are also active by default under the notice model but are disabled when your browser signals Global Privacy Control (GPC). We display a notice banner so you are aware cookies are in use; dismissing it records the dismissal timestamp in localStorage.
If you are visiting from a jurisdiction that requires prior opt-in consent (such as the EU), additional consent controls may be shown to you based on your location. This Policy covers the US notice-only model.
5. Your Choices
- Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Blocking strictly-necessary cookies will break site login functionality. Instructions for managing cookies are available in your browser's help documentation.
- Global Privacy Control (GPC): If you enable GPC in a supporting browser or extension, routeharvest.com will detect the signal and disable analytics cookies automatically on your next visit.
- Cookie notice: You can re-open the cookie notice at any time via the "Cookie preferences" link in the site footer, which resets the dismissal state.
- Opt out of marketing email: Unsubscribe links are included in all marketing emails; this is separate from cookie preferences.
6. Data Processed via Cookies
Cookies and similar technologies on this Site may process: your IP address (to derive approximate city/region, not stored at individual level), browser type and version, operating system, pages visited on routeharvest.com, referring URL, and the date and time of your visit. This information is used solely for site analytics and platform operation. It is not combined with personally identifiable information to create advertising profiles.
7. Third-Party Services
The Site loads font resources from Google Fonts and icon resources from Font Awesome CDN. These requests may result in those services logging your IP address as part of serving the asset. This is common CDN behavior and is subject to those services' own privacy policies. We do not load advertising or social media tracking scripts.
8. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our cookie usage changes. Material updates will be reflected in a new "Last updated" date. We recommend reviewing this Policy periodically.
