The short version: We use cookies to make our websites and apps work, remember your preferences, and understand how people use our products. We do not use cookies to serve you advertisements or build advertising profiles. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website or use a web-based application. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the site owner.
Cookies can be "session cookies" — which are deleted when you close your browser — or "persistent cookies" — which remain on your device until they expire or you delete them. Cookies can also be "first-party" (set by us) or "third-party" (set by services we use, such as analytics tools).
Similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, and pixel tags may also be used and are covered by this policy.
How We Use Cookies
Novatrax Global LLC uses cookies and similar technologies across our websites and web applications for the following purposes:
- To keep you logged in and maintain your session securely
- To remember your preferences and settings
- To ensure our websites and apps function correctly
- To understand how users interact with our products so we can improve them
- To measure the effectiveness of our content and features
- To protect against fraudulent or unauthorized activity
We do not use cookies to serve targeted advertisements. We do not share cookie data with advertising networks. Our use of cookies is focused entirely on product operation and improvement.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for our websites and applications to function. Without them, services like logging in, maintaining your session, and using core features would not work. These cookies cannot be disabled without breaking the service.
Functional Cookies
These cookies allow us to remember your preferences and provide enhanced, personalized features. For example, they may remember your language setting, your preferred display options, or your last-used location in OutsideSafe. Disabling these may affect your experience but will not prevent basic use of our services.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our websites and applications — which pages are visited, how long users spend on them, and which features are used most. This information is used in aggregate to improve our products. We use privacy-respecting analytics tools and do not use this data for advertising purposes.

Third-Party Cookies
Some of our services use third-party tools that may set their own cookies. These include:
- Payment processors (e.g., Stripe) — Used to securely handle payment transactions. These are essential and cannot be disabled when making a purchase.
- Analytics tools — We use privacy-focused analytics services to understand product usage. These tools are configured to anonymize IP addresses and not share data with advertising networks.
- Content delivery networks (CDNs) — Used to deliver our application assets quickly. These may set performance-related cookies.
We do not embed social media tracking pixels, advertising network tags, or retargeting cookies on our websites or in our products.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Browser Settings
Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these options under your browser's "Privacy" or "Security" settings. Common options include:
- Blocking all cookies (note: this will break most websites including ours)
- Blocking third-party cookies only
- Clearing existing cookies
- Receiving a notification when a cookie is set
For instructions specific to your browser, visit:
- Chrome: chrome://settings/cookies
- Firefox: about:preferences#privacy
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Mobile Devices
For our mobile applications (OutsideSafe, Ru), cookie-equivalent data is stored using your device's local storage. You can clear this data by uninstalling the app or clearing app data through your device settings (iOS: Settings → General → iPhone Storage; Android: Settings → Apps → [App Name] → Storage → Clear Data).
Effect of Disabling Cookies
If you disable essential cookies, you will not be able to log in or use core features of our products. Disabling functional cookies may cause you to lose saved preferences. Disabling analytics cookies will have no effect on your product experience but will limit our ability to improve our services.
Do Not Track
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Because there is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, our websites do not currently respond to DNT signals. However, our commitment remains the same regardless of DNT: we do not use your data for advertising, and we do not sell your data to third parties.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
