What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your browser to store information. They help websites remember your preferences, understand how you use the site, and deliver relevant advertising. Some cookies are set by the website you visit ("first-party cookies") and others are set by third-party services that appear on the website ("third-party cookies").

How We Use Cookies and Browser Storage

First-Party: No Cookies

Real Talk Surrogacy does not set any first-party cookies. Instead, we use browser storage in two limited ways:

• Local Storage (rt_pid): When you open the qualification quiz, we generate and store a unique profile identifier (UUID) in your browser's local storage. This identifier links your quiz answers to your profile and persists until you clear your browser data.
• Session Storage (rt_quiz_data): After you complete the quiz, your answers and personalization preferences are temporarily stored in session storage so that your results page can display them. This data is automatically cleared when you close your browser tab.

Third-Party Cookies

We use Google Tag Manager to load third-party analytics and advertising tools. These tools may set cookies on your browser, but only after you have provided explicit consent (see "How We Obtain Your Consent" below).

How We Obtain Your Consent

We may use analytics and advertising technologies that load automatically when you visit the Site. Where required by applicable law, we may request consent before enabling certain tracking technologies.

How it works: During the qualification quiz, before certain tracking technologies are activated where required by law, you are presented with a consent prompt that clearly describes the types of cookies and tracking technologies we use and asks you to affirmatively opt in. If you do not consent, all third-party advertising pixels and cookies remain suppressed for your entire visit. No third-party advertising or analytics cookies are loaded on passive page visits — only when you open the quiz and grant consent.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies and local storage, enabling Global Privacy Control (GPC) in your browser, or contacting us at hello@realtalksurrogacy.com.
