What if you don’t want to have cookies on your device?

If you want to remove existing cookies from your device, you can do this by using your browser options. For more information on how to manage your cookies, see All About Cookies – Manage Cookies. However, please note that blocking and deleting cookies, if available, will impact your user experience as parts of the specific website or application(s) may no longer work properly.

“Do Not Track”: Some newer browsers have incorporated Do Not Track features, and when turned on, they send a signal to the websites you visit, telling the website that you do not want to be tracked while browsing. Websites differ in how they respond to these signals, as there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret the Do Not Track signal. As such, the RANKUNO Website does not respond to such signals. Currently, the RANKUNO Website, RANKUNO non-public websites and software platforms do not recognize “Do Not Track” initiatives.

What types of cookies are there, and which ones does the site use?
