Cookie Policy
When you visit TipHero, we send one or more cookies (small files containing a string of characters) to your computer that uniquely identify your browser. We use cookies to improve the quality of our service by storing user preferences and tracking user trends, such as how people search. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but you can reset your browser to not accept cookies or to alert you when a cookie is being sent (consult the ‘Help’ section of your browser or take a look at AllAboutCookies.org website for more information). If you have cookies disabled, however, some TipHero features and services may not function properly.
Types of cookies
There are two main types of cookies:
- Session cookies. These are temporary, and will expire at the end of your browsing session once you close your web browser. They allow website operators to link the actions of a user during a browser session.
- Persistent cookies. They have a set expiry date and will be stored on your computer until either this date is reached, or you delete your cookies using your browser settings. They are activated each time that you revisit TipHero.
