7. Managing Cookies and Consent

You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block cookies, delete cookies, receive warnings before cookies are stored, or limit certain types of tracking.

If ReadyScores.com displays a cookie consent banner or consent management tool, you may use that tool to accept, reject, or manage non-essential cookies where required by law.

Visitors from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland may be asked to provide consent before certain cookies, local storage, advertising identifiers, personalized advertising features, analytics tools, or similar technologies are used where legally required.
