1. What this covers
This policy explains the cookies and similar browser storage (local storage, session storage and IndexedDB) used by the TipOffly website at tipoffly.com. It adds detail to section 12 of our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data in general.
The website does not use cookies at all today. Everything it keeps sits in your browser's own storage and is never sent to us, except your cookie choice (see below).
2. The four kinds
These are the same choices you see in the cookie banner.
| Kind | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Keeps the site secure and working, and remembers your theme, motion setting and cookie choice. | Always on |
| Sign-in (essential) | Keeps you signed in on the website for this browser tab only. | Only if you sign in |
| Analytics | Would count visits and page views so we can improve the site. We don't run any analytics tool today. | Off until you allow it |
| Marketing | Would measure whether our advertising works. We don't run any marketing tool today. | Off until you allow it |
If we add an analytics or marketing tool, it will stay switched off until you allow that kind, and we'll name it in the list below first. If your browser sends the Global Privacy Control signal, marketing stays off even if you allowed it before.
3. Everything we store
| Name | Kind | Where | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| tpf-cookies | Essential | Local storage | Your cookie choice and when you made it. | 12 months, then we ask again |
| tpf-palette | Essential | Local storage | The colour theme you picked. | Until you clear it |
| tpf-motion | Essential | Local storage | Whether you turned on Reduce motion. | Until you clear it |
| tpf-daynight | Essential | Local storage | Day, night or automatic background videos. | Until you clear it |
| tpf-aud | Essential | Local storage | Whether the home page should show Safety, Parents or Elders first. | Until you clear it |
| Sign-in session | Sign-in | Session storage | Keeps you signed in while this tab is open. | Until you close the tab or sign out |
| Sign-in key | Sign-in | IndexedDB | Lets your session be renewed safely. It's made so it can't be copied out of the browser. | Until you sign out |
| tpf-last-order | Sign-in | Session storage | Remembers the plan you just paid for, so the next page can confirm it. | Until the payment is confirmed or the tab is closed |
Proof of your choice. When you choose in the cookie banner, the site sends us a record of the choice, the banner version and a scrambled code made from part of your network address, so we can show we asked properly. We never keep your IP address with it.
4. Other companies
- Razorpay, our payment gateway, loads only on the checkout page and only after you press Pay. Razorpay may set its own cookies and collect device data to process the payment and prevent fraud, under the Razorpay Privacy Policy. TipOffly never sees your card details or UPI PIN.
- Mixkit hosts the background videos and some pictures on our pages. Your browser fetches them from assets.mixkit.co, which sees your IP address as any website does. We don't ask Mixkit to set cookies or track you.
- Fonts are served from tipoffly.com itself, so no font company sees your visit.
5. Changing your choice
Use , also at the bottom of every page, to change your choice at any time. Withdrawing is as easy as agreeing. You can also clear this site's data in your browser settings; the banner will then ask you again.
6. The TipOffly app
The TipOffly app does not use cookies for tracking or advertising identifiers. What the app keeps on your phone is described in the Privacy Policy.
