Introduction
Ravello Escrow, Inc. (“Ravello Escrow,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at www.ravelloescrow.com (the “Site”). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, what types of cookies we use, how and why we use them, and how you can control your cookie preferences.
This Cookie Policy is incorporated into and should be read together with our Privacy Policy. By using our Site, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy. You may withdraw your consent or manage your preferences at any time as described in Section 7 below.
About Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide reporting and analytics information. They allow a website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to re-enter them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.
2.1 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by Ravello Escrow, Inc. when you visit our Site. Only we can read these cookies.
Third-party cookies are set by third parties such as analytics providers, advertising networks, or embedded content providers. These third parties can access these cookies both on our Site and on other websites, enabling them to track your online activity across multiple sites.
2.2 Session vs. Persistent Cookies
Session cookies are temporary cookies that are erased when you close your browser. They are used to enable basic site functionality during your visit.
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period of time (or until you delete them) and are activated each time you visit the website that created them. They are used to remember your preferences across sessions.
Similar Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies to track your use of our Site, including:
- Web Beacons / Pixel Tags: Small graphic images (often 1×1 pixels) embedded in web pages or emails that signal to a server when the page or email has been viewed. Used to track open rates and engagement.
- Local Storage Objects (LSOs) / HTML5 Storage: Similar to cookies but stored in your browser’s local storage rather than as files. Used for site functionality and analytics.
- Device Fingerprinting: Collection of information about your device (browser type, screen resolution, operating system, etc.) to create a unique identifier for your device for security and fraud prevention purposes.
- Log Files: Server log files that record information about your visit including your IP address, browser type, referring URL, pages visited, and timestamps.
- JavaScript Tags: Scripts embedded on our Site that collect data about user interactions and behavior.
Categories of Cookies We Use
4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for our Site to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, page navigation, and access to secure areas of the website. These cookies do not collect information about you that could be used for marketing purposes or to track your browsing activity on other websites.

They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information may be shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.
Examples include:
- Google Ads / Google Tag Manager: Used to track conversions and serve relevant advertisements to visitors who have previously visited our Site (remarketing).
- Facebook Pixel: If used, tracks actions taken on our Site to deliver relevant Facebook advertisements and measure advertising effectiveness.

You may also use the following industry-wide opt-out tools to limit interest-based advertising:
- NAI (Network Advertising Initiative): optout.networkadvertising.org

Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your browsing activity tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how to respond to DNT signals. Our Site does not currently respond to DNT browser signals. However, we do honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as a valid opt-out request for California residents, where applicable. We will continue to monitor developments in DNT and GPC standards and update our practices accordingly.
