Browsing does not require personal information. The site uses Google Analytics 4 for aggregate publication measurement. GA4 may set first-party analytics cookies after applying the preference stored in this browser. Advertising storage, Google Signals, and ad personalization are disabled.
Form submissions
A form sends only the fields shown for that specific request after the user submits it. Dormant forms do not store or route entries. Consumer shortlist intake is currently inactive.
Analytics Choice
Control analytics storage in this browser.
Analytics storage is granted by default so the Research Desk can measure aggregate page use, referral sources, device categories, and engagement. You can deny it below. The setting stays in this browser until local site data is cleared.

What GA4 receives
Standard page and engagement data such as page path, referral source, device and browser category, approximate geography, and campaign tags on REAI-owned links. The builder removes non-campaign query fields from the page location sent to GA4 and does not intentionally send form contents, names, email addresses, or phone numbers.
Safeguards
Google Signals and advertising personalization are disabled. Ad storage, ad user data, and ad personalization consent remain denied. Google states that GA4 does not log or store IP addresses. Review Google's Privacy Policy and Google Analytics privacy controls.

Consumer Control
Follow-up requires permission.
Follow-up is permission-based and includes a practical opt-out path. Ranking placement cannot be purchased, and submitted information is not used to change public scores.
Agent profile claims collect business identity and contact information for verification. Quarterly score or program updates require a separate explicit opt-in; submitting a claim alone is not marketing consent.
Press inquiries collect professional identity, outlet, business email, deadline, and the question asked. A reply requires explicit permission, and the route must not be used for source-confidential files or unrelated sensitive data.
