This Cookie Policy explains how Ridiculousness ("we", "our", or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website and use our services (collectively, the "Service").
This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data.
If we provide translations of this Cookie Policy in other languages, the English version will control if there is any conflict. Translations are provided for convenience only.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to:
- Make websites work or work more efficiently;
- Remember your preferences and settings;
- Help website owners understand how their sites are used;
- Support security, payments, and other core features.
Cookies may be set by the site you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third parties such as analytics or payment providers ("third-party cookies").
Similar technologies (such as local storage, session storage, and pixels) may also be used for similar purposes. In this policy, we refer to all of these collectively as "cookies".
2. How We Use Cookies on Ridiculousness
We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
- Strictly necessary cookies
To enable core functionality such as logging in, keeping your session active, and processing payments.
These cookies are essential for the Service to work and cannot be disabled without affecting basic functionality. - Functional cookies
To remember your preferences, such as language and basic UI settings.
These cookies help provide a smoother and more personalized experience. - Analytics and performance cookies
To understand how visitors use the Service, which pages are visited, and where errors occur.
This helps us improve performance, usability, and the overall product.
We do not use cookies to show personalized third-party advertising on Ridiculousness at this time.
If that changes in the future, we will update this policy and, where required, request your consent.
3. Cookies We May Use
The exact cookies set in your browser can depend on which features you use, your location, and whether you are logged in.

If we use additional tools (for example, Microsoft Clarity or similar), they may set their own cookies to support session replay, heatmaps, or analytics.
We aim to use these tools in a way that minimizes the amount of personal data processed and, where required, we will ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies.
4. Your Choices and How to Manage Cookies
You have several options for controlling or limiting how cookies are used:
- Browser settings
Most web browsers allow you to:
- View which cookies are stored on your device;
- Delete cookies;
- Block cookies from specific sites; or
- Block all cookies.
Please refer to your browser's help documentation for details.
If you block all cookies, some parts of the Service (such as logging in or completing a purchase) may not work properly. - In-product settings (if available)
If we provide cookie banners or in-product controls for certain categories of cookies (such as analytics), you can use those controls to adjust your preferences. - Opting out of analytics
Some analytics providers offer their own opt-out mechanisms (for example, browser add-ons).
Please refer to their documentation for more information.
5. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example when we:
- Add or remove cookies;
- Change providers or technologies; or
- Need to reflect new legal requirements.
When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top and, where required, provide additional notice (for example via a banner or in-product message).
If you continue to use the Service after the new Cookie Policy takes effect, you are deemed to have accepted the updated policy.
