Cookie Notice

1. About this notice

This notice concerns cookies and related browser technologies in connection with RelayOneCommunications LLC, operating as RelayOne Communications, and its website at relayonecommunications.net. It explains the distinctions that matter when a visitor uses a website, follows a payment link, or considers a browser permission. Read it together with our Privacy Policy, which addresses personal information beyond cookies.

RelayOneCommunications LLC is owned by Cayden Anthony McCurley. Our business address is 30 North Gould Street, Sheridan, Wyoming 82801, USA. Questions about this notice can be sent to contact@relayonecommunications.net. A description of a technology in this notice does not, by itself, state that every example or category described is deployed on every page of our website.

2. What cookies are

A cookie is a small item of data that a website or service can ask a browser to store and return during later requests. Cookies can support different functions, and their effect depends on their purpose and the information associated with them. A cookie is not necessarily a complete personal profile, but an identifier in a cookie can become connected with other information in a particular system.

The word “cookie” does not identify whether a use is necessary, optional, short-lived, or privacy-sensitive. Those questions require looking at what the technology actually does. A cookie used to maintain an activity requested by a visitor has a different purpose from one used to follow the visitor across unrelated sites for advertising. The label assigned by a provider does not replace that functional assessment.

3. Related storage and identifiers

Web technologies other than cookies can store or retrieve information on a device. Examples include browser local storage, session storage, and certain identifiers used by embedded services. Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, a rule described as a cookie rule may also apply to one of these other technologies. Changing the technical name does not necessarily change the legal treatment.

Browser storage can persist for different periods and can be associated with a particular website origin. Clearing cookies may not remove every other type of stored browser data. If you want to inspect or remove information saved by a site, use the relevant site-data settings for your browser and check which types of data the selected action covers. Avoid assuming that one control always clears every identifier everywhere.

4. Session and persistent storage

Some stored information is associated with a browser session, while other information can remain after the browser is closed. The actual period depends on the technology and configuration. Browser behavior can also be affected by features that restore previous sessions. The words “session” and “persistent” describe aspects of storage behavior, rather than a complete explanation of what information is being used.

A longer lifetime does not automatically establish that a technology is used for advertising, and a short lifetime does not automatically make it necessary. The purpose and circumstances remain important. This notice does not assign invented expiration periods to unidentified cookies. If you have a question about an item observed during an interaction, identify the page and the item without sharing a sensitive cookie value.

5. First-party and external services

A browser can distinguish information associated with the site you visit from information associated with another service involved in the interaction. External content, embedded features, or a payment page can involve a provider with its own systems. Whether information is treated as first-party or third-party also depends on the browser context and the way the feature is delivered.

These technical labels do not, on their own, determine who has legal responsibility for the information. A provider may have its own purposes or act for another business, depending on the activity. Review the notice of an external service when you choose to use it. Our Privacy Policy explains the broader distinction between RelayOne's handling of information and processing performed by an external provider.

6. Necessary functions

Some device storage or access can be necessary to provide a function that a visitor has requested, such as maintaining the state of a transaction or supporting essential security during that transaction. Applicable law determines whether a particular use qualifies for an exemption from consent. A function being useful to a business is not, by itself, the same as being necessary for a visitor's requested service.

The need for a technology should be assessed in context rather than inferred from a category name. Blocking a technology that a requested function relies on can prevent that function from working. That practical effect does not create unlimited permission for unrelated uses of the same information. A necessary purpose and an optional secondary purpose should not be treated as interchangeable.

7. Preferences and convenience features

Some websites can remember choices such as a display preference or information needed for a visitor's selected workflow. Whether a particular preference technology requires consent depends on its purpose and the rules that apply. A choice made within one service should not be assumed to authorize a different provider to reuse the information for a separate purpose.

This notice does not promise that RelayOne offers a particular preference feature. It explains why a visitor should consider the feature actually being used and any notice shown with it. A browser setting that deletes stored preferences may cause a service to ask for the same choice again. That repeated request can reflect the absence of the earlier stored choice rather than an error in the website.

8. Analytics and advertising technologies

Analytics and advertising are different purposes from delivering a consultation or processing a requested payment. Where a technology requires consent under applicable law, that consent must be obtained before the relevant technology operates. Describing a category here is not a statement that RelayOne has enabled an analytics product, an advertising pixel, remarketing, or cross-site profiling.

Do not interpret acceptance of a service contract as consent to every optional tracking purpose. Likewise, continuing to read a page is not automatically a valid consent action where the law requires a specific choice. Any actual optional use must be explained through information relevant to that use, including the provider and purpose where required. A broad policy description cannot supply missing technical detail about a particular deployment.

9. Card payments through Stripe

Stripe processes card payments where that option is offered. Using a Stripe payment interface involves a service separate from the consulting itself. Payment-related technologies can support the transaction and help address security or fraud concerns. The precise information and technologies involved depend on the Stripe service used and the interaction with the payment interface.

Stripe provides its privacy information at https://stripe.com/privacy and its cookie information at https://stripe.com/legal/cookies-policy. Review those materials for Stripe's explanations. A payment-provider link does not mean that every optional Stripe product is enabled for a RelayOne purchase. Do not assume that a feature described on a provider's general website is part of the specific checkout you are using.

10. Your choices and consent

Where applicable law requires consent for a particular use, the choice must be meaningful and based on appropriate information. Refusing an optional purpose should be distinguished from refusing a technology genuinely needed for a function you request. The existence of this notice is not itself evidence that you agreed to an optional use.

Where a consent or preference control is presented for a feature you use, review the choices it actually provides. A choice can be limited to that browser, device, site, or purpose. It should not be assumed to apply to every service you have ever used. If you cannot identify how to change a relevant choice, contact us with the page and interaction concerned rather than sending the contents of your browser storage.

11. Browser controls

Browsers generally provide settings for viewing, blocking, or removing some types of site data, although the names and effects of the controls vary. Consult the browser's own help information for the version you use. A setting that blocks all storage can affect more functions than a setting limited to some external cookies, and an exception for one site may not apply to a separate payment provider.

Changing browser settings is a useful personal control but does not replace a website's obligation to obtain consent where required. Similarly, the fact that a browser permits a cookie does not prove that the user has given legally valid consent for its purpose. Technical permission and a valid legal basis are separate questions.

12. Removing stored information

You can use browser settings to remove stored site information where the browser supports that action. Consider the scope of the deletion you select. Removing data for one site may leave data associated with another service in place. Deleting all browsing data may also remove useful preferences or interrupt activities on unrelated sites.

Removing local storage does not automatically erase transaction records, emails, or other information held outside the browser. A request to delete personal information held by RelayOne should be made through the process described in our Privacy Policy. A request about information held independently by an external provider may also need to be directed to that provider.

13. Different devices and shared browsers

A choice made on one device may not be present on another device, even when the same person uses both. Different browsers on the same device can also maintain separate storage. Private browsing sessions may handle saved information differently from ordinary sessions. These differences can explain why a preference is requested again or why a service behaves differently across devices.

If several people share a browser, stored choices can reflect another person's earlier action. Consider the effect of shared access before using a browser for a payment or confidential business interaction. Close the relevant session when appropriate and do not save payment or account details on a shared device without considering who else can access them.

14. Effects on service use

Restricting browser technologies can affect a particular online feature. If a payment interface or another requested function does not work, identify which page and action are affected. You do not need to disable every privacy protection simply because a function encountered an error. Review the specific service's instructions and consider the limited change, if any, relevant to the problem.

Contact RelayOne at contact@relayonecommunications.net if a website issue prevents you from making a service inquiry. Do not send payment card details in an attempt to bypass a checkout problem. An alternative way to communicate about a service is not necessarily an alternative payment method, and any payment arrangement must remain clear and appropriate for the transaction.

15. Browser privacy signals

Some browsers or extensions can send privacy-related signals or apply automated restrictions. The meaning and legal effect of a signal can depend on its specification, the activity involved, and applicable law. A browser feature's name does not necessarily show which processing it affects or whether it communicates a legally recognized request in every jurisdiction.

This notice does not claim a particular technical integration for every available privacy signal. Where a law requires a recognized signal to be honored, that obligation remains applicable. If you are asking about a particular signal, identify it and the interaction concerned. Avoid assuming that a blocked visual element means that all information processing associated with a page has stopped.

16. Personal information and retention

A cookie identifier or related technical record can be personal information when it identifies a person or can reasonably be connected with one. Privacy obligations can therefore apply alongside rules about accessing a device. The Privacy Policy explains matters such as purposes, rights requests, international handling, and retention criteria beyond the storage behavior of an individual browser item.

The lifetime of a cookie and the retention of associated records are not always identical. Deleting a browser identifier does not necessarily delete records already lawfully held for a transaction or security purpose. Conversely, the existence of a transaction record does not justify retaining every unrelated browser identifier indefinitely. The relevant purpose and applicable legal requirements determine the appropriate handling.

17. Questions about an observed item

If you want to ask about a cookie or similar item, describe where you saw it, the approximate time, and the action you were taking. The item name and associated domain can be useful, but do not send its full value if it could contain a session token or other sensitive identifier. A screenshot should be checked for unrelated private information before it is shared.

Also distinguish a page on relayonecommunications.net from an external provider page opened through a link. That context helps identify which service may be responsible for the item. A browser extension can itself affect what is displayed or stored, so an observed item should not automatically be attributed to RelayOne without considering the actual interaction.

18. Changes to this notice

Website features and external services can change. Where a change affects device access or personal information, the applicable notice and consent requirements must be considered before the new use is relied on. Publishing revised explanatory text does not retroactively create consent for an activity that required an earlier choice.

You can keep a copy of this notice for your records. If your question concerns an earlier interaction, identify the approximate date and the service used. This helps distinguish a historical question from a question about a current feature. No statement in this notice removes a right you have under applicable privacy or electronic-communications law.

19. Contact details

Direct questions about this notice to contact@relayonecommunications.net. Identify your message as a cookie or browser-privacy inquiry and explain the relevant page or feature. For a broader request about personal information, refer to the Privacy Policy so that the nature of the request is clear. A cookie question is not an instruction to cancel a purchase or reverse a payment.
