This Cookie Policy explains how RiverCatch.info ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at https://rivercatch.info (the "Site"). It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control their use.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader information about how we handle your personal information.
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to provide information to the website owner.
Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device until they expire or are deleted) or "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser). They can also be "first-party" cookies (set by the website you are visiting) or "third-party" cookies (set by a domain other than the one you are visiting).
These cookies are essential for the Site to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. You cannot opt out of these cookies as the Site cannot function without them.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| rc_cookie_consent | Stores your cookie consent preference so we don't show the banner on every page visit | 1 year | First-party (localStorage) |
These cookies collect information about how visitors use the Site, such as which pages are visited most often and whether visitors receive error messages. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymous. We use this data to improve how the Site works.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics — used to distinguish users and track page views | 2 years | Third-party |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics — used to persist session state | 2 years | Third-party |
| _gid | Google Analytics — used to distinguish users | 24 hours | Third-party |
These cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make (such as your cookie preferences) and provide enhanced, more personalised features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.

When you first visit the Site, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser's local storage and cookies and revisiting the Site.
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these settings in the "Options", "Preferences", or "Settings" menu of your browser. The following links provide information on how to manage cookies in popular browsers:
Please note that restricting cookies may impact the functionality of the Site. If you disable strictly necessary cookies, some features of the Site may not work as intended.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
In addition to cookies, we use the browser's localStorage to store your cookie consent preference (the rc_cookie_consent key). This is a form of web storage that functions similarly to cookies but stores data locally on your device. You can clear localStorage through your browser's developer tools or privacy settings.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the updated policy on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
