Essential session and security cookies
We use first-party session cookies for secure login, CSRF protection and account navigation. For account abuse checks, we also set an essential, random first-party tb_device cookie for up to 180 days; we record only a keyed hash of its value in security event logs. This does not read fingerprinting hardware or collect canvas signatures.
Optional analytics, advertising tags, and third-party cookies
Google Analytics 4 and publisher advertising scripts are optional and require a positive consent choice before loading. Network providers may set cookies, log IP/device identifiers and serve personalized or contextual promotions subject to their policies. External offerwall providers you open have their own notices.
Your choices
Reject optional analytics in the banner or change it via Cookie preferences in the footer. We store the choice locally in your browser. Blocking essential session cookies may affect login. Do not launch an offerwall if you do not accept its terms.
Your optional-services choice
Google Analytics 4 and externally hosted publisher ad scripts are disabled until you choose Accept optional in our privacy banner. Rejecting the choice prevents new optional tags from loading. A site operator may still need an approved regional consent-management platform and provider-specific compliance steps.
