Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Baxter Research Group (“BRC,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the TrueStanding platform (the “Service”). This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give site owners useful information about how their site is being used.

Cookies can be “persistent” (they remain on your device until they expire or you delete them) or “session” cookies (they are deleted when you close your browser). Cookies can also be “first-party” (set by the website you are visiting) or “third-party” (set by a different domain than the one you are visiting).

2. How We Use Cookies

TrueStanding uses cookies for the following purposes:

2.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the Service to function properly. Without these cookies, core features like signing in, navigating between pages, and maintaining your session would not work. You cannot opt out of essential cookies because they are required for the Service to operate.

• Session Token: Maintains your authenticated session so you remain signed in as you navigate between pages. Expires when you sign out, or automatically after 30 days.
• Preview Access: A short-lived cookie set only if you have been given early access to a page that is not yet public. It records nothing about you.

2.2 Non-Essential Cookies

TrueStanding does not set any analytics, preference, advertising, or tracking cookies. If we ever introduce non-essential cookies, we will update this policy and, where required by law, ask for your consent before setting them.

3. Third-Party Cookies

We use a limited number of third-party services that may set their own cookies:

• Stripe: Our payment processor uses cookies to process payments securely and prevent fraud. These cookies are governed by Stripe's own cookie policy.

We do not use advertising cookies or allow third-party advertising networks to set cookies on TrueStanding.

4. Managing Cookies

You have several options for managing cookies:

• Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically set your browser to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or alert you when a cookie is being set. Consult your browser's help documentation for specific instructions.
• Essential Cookies: Please note that disabling essential cookies will prevent TrueStanding from functioning properly. You will not be able to sign in or use the Service if essential cookies are blocked.
• No consent banner needed: Because TrueStanding sets only essential cookies, there are no non-essential cookies to opt out of. If that ever changes, we will update this policy and ask for your consent first.

5. Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies:

• Local and session storage: TrueStanding does not currently use browser local storage or session storage. If we begin using them, we will update this policy.

6. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in applicable law. When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
