1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, tags and device identifiers. They may support essential functions, remember choices or, with consent, help us understand Website use.
First-party cookies are set by this R3 Website; third-party cookies are set by another provider. With your consent, formal public pages may enable R3 first-party analytics and the optional third-party service provider Baidu Analytics. R3 uses the resulting analytics to measure content performance, traffic sources and Website use; R3 does not use them to build cross-site advertising profiles. Baidu Analytics' independent processing follows its applicable policy.
2. Cookies we use
Necessary cookies support core operation and remember privacy choices. Analytics cookies are off by default and are set only after you choose. Refusing analytics cookies does not prevent you from reading core content or submitting a form.
| Name | Category | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| r3_cookie_consent | Necessary | Remembers whether you selected necessary cookies only or consented to analytics. | 6 months |
| r3_vid | Analytics (optional) | A random visitor identifier used after consent to measure unique visits, first source and Website use. It does not contain your name or email. | Up to 12 months |
| r3_sid | Analytics (optional) | A random session identifier that groups page views and interactions during one visit. | 30 minutes |
| Baidu Analytics identifiers (for example, Hm_lvt_<Site ID> and Hm_lpvt_<Site ID>) | Analytics (optional, third-party) | After consent, R3 uses the related analytics to measure content performance, traffic sources and Website use; R3 does not use them for cross-site advertising profiling. | R3’s actual Baidu Analytics account configuration and applicable terms |
3. Analytics information
After consent, R3 first-party analytics may combine random visitor and session identifiers with page path, referrer and UTM parameters, device and browser type, language and time zone, screen and viewport size, approximate country/region, an irreversibly hashed IP where configured, and events such as views, scrolling, navigation, downloads and conversions. Only after you consent do formal public pages request and load Baidu Analytics; it may process page URL, referrer and UTM parameters, device and browser type, approximate region, and page or button interactions. When its script and related services are requested, Baidu Analytics may receive network request logs including IP address, browser and language, device and operating system, network operator, and request time; Baidu Analytics' access to the IP address is separate from R3 first-party analytics' configured use of an irreversibly hashed IP.
R3 uses this information to measure content performance, traffic sources and Website use and to improve pages and content; R3 does not use it to build cross-site advertising profiles or sell it to advertisers. Baidu Analytics data retention and handling follow R3’s actual Baidu Analytics account configuration and applicable terms, and its independent processing follows the applicable Baidu Analytics policy.
4. Managing your choices
On your first visit you can choose “Allow analytics” or “Necessary only”. You can change the choice at any time through “Cookie settings” in the footer. Withdrawing consent stops future analytics script loading and cookie access, and clears only related browser identifiers accessible to this Website. It does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal. R3 cannot clear provider-domain cookies that are inaccessible to this Website; you can manage them through browser or provider controls.
You can also view, delete or block cookies through your browser. Blocking every cookie may affect some functions. Please consult your browser help for instructions.
5. Third-party service providers and outbound links
Baidu Analytics is an optional third-party service provider embedded in this Website and loaded on formal public pages only after you consent; LinkedIn, WeChat and other platforms are outbound links, and use cookies under their own policies only after you actively follow a link and leave this Website. R3 does not control cookies independently set by third parties.
6. Updates
We will update the list and effective date if cookies, similar technologies or providers change. We will obtain the relevant choice or consent before setting a new non-essential category.
