Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They help the site remember information about your visit — such as your preferred language, login status, or items you've viewed — so the experience feels smoother next time.

Alongside cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as pixel tags (also called web beacons), local storage objects, and session storage. This policy covers all of these collectively when we say "cookies."

First-party vs. third-party cookies

A first-party cookie is set directly by Trusted Buyer Report and can only be read by us. A third-party cookie is set by an external service (such as Google Analytics) that we embed on our pages. Third-party cookies may be read by that external service across multiple sites.

Trusted Buyer Report uses cookies to provide, protect, and improve the services we offer. Specifically, we use them to:

• Keep you signed in — so you don't have to log in every time you visit.
• Remember your preferences — such as saved stores, newsletter subscription status, and cookie consent choices.
• Understand how our site is used — via anonymous analytics so we can improve content and performance.
• Protect security — CSRF tokens prevent cross-site request forgery attacks on forms and authenticated actions.
• Support affiliate tracking — when you click a merchant link, a cookie may record that click so we receive credit for any resulting purchase. This is disclosed in our Affiliate Disclosure.

We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles, sell your data, or track you across unrelated third-party websites for targeted advertising purposes.

We categorize our cookies into four types. Essential cookies are always active. All others can be managed via your preferences below.

• Right to withdraw consent — withdraw cookie consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the services we use, or applicable regulations. When we make a material change, we will:

• Update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
• Post a notice on our homepage for at least 7 days.
• Notify registered users by email if the change materially affects their data rights.

Your continued use of Trusted Buyer Report after a policy change constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
