This Cookie Policy explains how Reach Security, Inc. ("Reach Security," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at reaochsecurity.org (the "Site"). This policy describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and the rights you have to control their use.
By continuing to use our Site after reviewing this Cookie Policy, you consent to our use of cookies as described here. You can change your cookie preferences at any time using the methods described in this policy. Please also review our Privacy Policy for information about how we collect and use personal information more broadly.
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide better functionality, and to give website owners information about how their sites are being used.
Cookies are created by the web server that hosts the website and sent to your browser. Your browser stores the cookie file and sends it back to the same server on future visits. The cookie contains a unique identifier that allows the server to recognize your browser and remember information about your visit — for example, your preferred language, your login status, or items you added to a shopping cart.
Cookies set by the website owner — in this case, Reach Security — are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as analytics, advertising, and live chat.
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar tracking technologies on our Site:
For simplicity, we refer to all these technologies collectively as "cookies" throughout this policy unless a distinction is specifically relevant.
We use cookies and similar technologies for several important purposes:
Some cookies are strictly necessary for our Site to function correctly. These essential cookies enable core functionality such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and maintaining your logged-in state. The Site cannot function properly without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled without significantly impairing your ability to use the Site. Essential cookies do not require your consent because they are strictly necessary to provide a service you have requested.
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our Site. This information helps us improve the Site's design, content, and navigation to provide a better experience. Analytics cookies collect information in aggregate or pseudonymous form, so they do not directly identify individual visitors.
Functionality cookies allow our Site to remember choices you make — such as your language preference or whether you have dismissed the cookie consent banner — and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our Site.
Marketing cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies track your browsing activity across websites and are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission.

We use several third-party services on our Site that may set their own cookies. We do not have direct control over the cookies set by these third parties. The following is a summary of the third-party services that may set cookies on our Site:
We use Google Analytics to analyze Site usage and generate statistical reports. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about how visitors use our Site, including pages visited, time on site, and referral sources. The information generated by these cookies is transmitted to and stored on Google's servers. We have enabled IP anonymization in Google Analytics, which means the last part of your IP address is masked before storage. Google's privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy. To opt out of Google Analytics, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
We use HubSpot for marketing automation, including tracking form submissions, email marketing, and attribution of marketing campaigns. HubSpot places cookies to track visitor identity and behavior for marketing and sales purposes. HubSpot's privacy policy is available at legal.hubspot.com/privacy-policy.
We use Intercom to provide customer support chat functionality on the Platform. Intercom places cookies to identify returning users and maintain chat session continuity. Intercom's privacy policy is available at intercom.com/legal/privacy.
We may use the LinkedIn Insight Tag to enable conversion tracking, retargeting, and analytics for our LinkedIn advertising campaigns. The Insight Tag places cookies that allow LinkedIn to identify visitors to our Site who are LinkedIn members. LinkedIn's privacy policy is available at linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy. You can opt out of LinkedIn's interest-based advertising at linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls.
You have several options for controlling how cookies are used on our Site:
When you first visit our Site, you will see a cookie consent banner that gives you the choice to accept all cookies or manage your preferences. Your choice is stored in your browser's localStorage and respected on future visits. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage or by contacting us.
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. You can configure your browser to refuse all cookies, to alert you when a cookie is being sent, or to delete cookies after each browsing session. Instructions for managing cookies in the most common browsers:
Please note that restricting cookies may impact the functionality of our Site. In particular, blocking essential cookies will prevent you from logging in to the Platform and may cause other Site features to malfunction.
You can opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies through the following industry opt-out mechanisms:
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that they not track your browsing activity. Currently, there is no industry standard for responding to DNT signals, and our Site does not currently respond differently to DNT signals. However, you can use the other methods described in this section to control tracking.
If you are a customer using the Reach Security security platform (not just the marketing website), the Platform uses additional cookies and session tokens specifically for security and operational purposes. These include authentication tokens that maintain your logged-in state, session management cookies that provide security against session hijacking, CSRF tokens that protect against cross-site request forgery attacks, and application state cookies that maintain your working context within the Platform. These platform-specific cookies are strictly necessary for the Platform to function and for your account security, and cannot be disabled without preventing you from using the Platform.
Cookies on our Site have varying retention periods depending on their purpose:
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in applicable law, or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to revisit this policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies. If you continue to use our Site after any updates to this policy, you are consenting to our use of cookies as described in the updated policy.
