Your Choices

Cookie banner: When you first visit Rhumby, you can accept or decline analytics cookies. You can change this preference at any time in your Privacy Settings.
Global Privacy Control (GPC): If your browser or extension sends the Sec-GPC: 1 header, we automatically disable analytics tracking without requiring you to interact with the cookie banner.
Browser settings: You can configure your browser to block or delete all cookies. Note that blocking essential cookies will prevent login and payment functionality.

Essential vs. Optional Cookies

Essential cookies are required for the platform to function — authentication, session management, and payment fraud prevention. These cannot be disabled without breaking core features.

Analytics cookies (Vercel Analytics) are optional and are only set after you consent, or if no GPC signal is detected. We do not use advertising or behavioral tracking cookies.
