What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information to the owners of the site. Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Survival Ready) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies."

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we use, the information we collect using cookies, how that information is used, and how to control your cookie preferences.

How to Manage Cookies

However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, since it will no longer be personalized to you. You may also be unable to save customized settings like your dark mode preference or checklist progress.
