1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners.
2. How We Use Cookies
TIN Validate uses cookies to provide essential functionality, protect forms and checkout flows, manage authenticated sessions, and enforce guest validation quotas. We also use analytics to understand traffic, interactions, session replay behaviour, and improve the Service.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the Service to function properly. They include:
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| tv_session | User authentication and session management | 14 days |
| csrftoken | Cross-site request forgery protection | Browser session |
| guest_id | Guest validation quota tracking and abuse prevention | 7 days |
Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services. Some may set cookies. PostHog may set first-party analytics cookies or use similar browser storage when analytics are enabled.
4. Managing Cookies
With your consent, the OpenAI Ads pixel uses the first-party __oppref cookie
to attribute registrations and purchases to ChatGPT ads. We store your accept or decline
choice in browser storage as tv_ads_consent until you change it or clear
browser storage. The prompt appears on ChatGPT campaign landing pages. The pixel loads
only after acceptance, on campaign landings and subsequent visits with its referral cookie.
Ignoring the prompt does not save campaign attribution. Use Advertising preferences in
the footer to change your choice; declining stops future measurement events.
You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
- Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings
- Browser Extensions: Privacy-focused browser extensions can help manage cookies
Please note that disabling essential cookies may prevent you from using certain features of our Service, such as logging in to your account.
