Cookie Policy
What cookies and similar tracking technologies we set on your device when you visit readtomato.com, why we set them, and how you can control or remove them. Plain English, no surprises.
ReadTomato is a DBA of Real Estate Tomato, LLC, a limited liability company formed in the State of California, United States. We provide AI-assisted content production, website optimization, and digital marketing services for professionals and businesses.
We value your privacy very highly. Please read this Cookie Policy carefully before using readtomato.com (the “Website”), and read our Privacy Policy alongside it for the full picture of how we handle your data.
A cookie is a small piece of data sent from a website and stored on your device by your browser. Cookies serve a range of functions, from keeping you logged in to remembering your preferences to helping site owners understand how their site is used.
This Cookie Policy also covers similar tracking technologies that may be used alongside cookies, including pixel tags, local storage, and session storage. For simplicity we refer to all of these collectively as “cookies”.
Plain English: Cookies are tiny text files your browser stores so a site can recognize you on your next visit. Some are required for the site to work. Others are optional and used for analytics or marketing. You can refuse the optional ones.
We group the cookies we set into three categories, in order of how important they are to the basic operation of the Website:
The sections below list exactly which cookies in each category we set on readtomato.com.
Essential cookies are required for you to browse the Website and use its core features — for example, maintaining security, authenticating users, and preventing fraudulent actions. They are enabled by default. Without them, the Website may not be fully functional.
| Service | Purpose | Provider | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Usercentrics Consent Management Platform | Consent storage; compliance with legal obligations around cookie consent | Usercentrics GmbH (Third Party) | Perpetual |
The Usercentrics consent record is essential because it remembers what you chose the last time you visited the consent banner. Without it, you would see the consent prompt on every page load.
Functional cookies allow a website to remember choices you have made in the past and how you use it — for example, your preferred language, which pages you clicked on, or your login state, so you do not have to repeat actions on every visit.
Currently in use: None. The Website does not currently set any functional cookies.
Marketing cookies track your activity across websites to help advertisers deliver more relevant advertisements or to limit how many times you see an advertisement.
Currently in use: None. The Website does not currently set any marketing cookies on the public-facing readtomato.com pages.
If this changes — for example, if we add ad retargeting or affiliate tracking in the future — we will update this Policy, list the cookies here, and surface them through the consent tool so you can refuse them before they are placed.
The Website may include embedded content or services from third parties (for example, Cloudflare for content delivery and security, Google Fonts for typography, and YouTube or Vimeo for embedded video). These third parties may set their own cookies when you interact with their content, governed by their own privacy and cookie policies.
We do not control these third-party cookies. To learn more about how a specific third party uses cookies, visit that provider’s privacy policy directly.
For details on the third-party services we rely on in our content production pipeline (which is separate from cookies set by the Website itself), see Section 07 of our Privacy Policy.
You have control over the optional cookies on your device. You can:
Plain English: If you do not want functional or marketing cookies, refuse them in the consent tool. The Website will still work. Essential cookies cannot be refused without breaking the consent record itself.
All major browsers let you control cookies through their settings. You can typically:
These controls are usually under “Settings”, “Privacy”, or “Help” in your browser. To learn more about cookie controls and opting out, you can visit aboutcookies.org, an independent resource that explains cookie controls for every major browser.
Note that blocking all cookies in your browser may cause unexpected behavior on the Website, including the consent banner reappearing on every visit.
