Cookie Policy
Last updated April 27, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how RaiseAppraisal.com (Malama Funding LLC) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
Why We're Conservative About Tracking
We operate in the mortgage and appraisal industry, where customer data is sensitive and regulated. We've intentionally avoided the typical SaaS marketing-tech stack of behavioral retargeting cookies because:
- It creates conflict with our “we don't sell or share your data for advertising” commitment
- It increases compliance burden under California CPRA and similar laws
- It often doesn't materially improve conversion in B2B SaaS
Your Choices
Browser Controls
Most browsers let you:
- See what cookies are stored
- Delete cookies
- Block cookies from specific sites
- Block all cookies (will break login/checkout)
Browser-specific instructions:
Opting Out of Analytics
- Google Analytics: Install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On or send a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal — we honor GPC.
- PostHog: Email privacy@raiseappraisal.com to opt out of product analytics.
Global Privacy Control (GPC)
We honor the Global Privacy Control signal. If your browser sends a GPC signal (most modern privacy-focused browsers do, automatically), we treat it as an opt-out request for analytics tracking.
Do Not Track (DNT)
Most browsers have a “Do Not Track” setting that signals websites you don't want to be tracked. There is currently no industry consensus on how to interpret DNT signals, but we honor GPC (above) which is the modern equivalent.
Email Tracking
Our transactional emails (subscription confirmations, renewal reminders, dunning notices) include open-tracking pixels for delivery confirmation and security purposes. Marketing emails (which require your double opt-in to receive) include open and click tracking. You can disable image loading in your email client to block open tracking.
