1. What a cookie is, in a sentence
A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to remember, so it can recognise you on the next page or visit. Most live for a single visit and disappear when you close the tab; a few live longer.
2. Cookies we consider essential
These are the pieces that make the site work. They don't follow you anywhere and they don't tell anyone anything about you. They're set whether or not you accept the banner, because the site can't really do without them.
- session — keeps your form half-typed if you click away to check the TV model. Expires when you close the tab.
- csrf — a short token that proves a form submission came from your browser, not from a malicious page. Expires after thirty minutes of inactivity.
- cookie-consent — remembers your answer to the cookie banner so we don't ask again every visit. Expires after twelve months.
3. Cookies for honest analytics
We use one privacy-friendly analytics tool to understand which pages people actually use and which we should rewrite. It does not set advertising cookies, does not follow you across other websites, and does not collect personal information.
- _pa — a rolling daily identifier used only to count unique daily visitors. It does not identify you and is reset every twenty-four hours.
If you'd rather not be counted, you can refuse the analytics cookie from the banner and we'll respect that for twelve months. Refusing it does not change anything about how the site behaves for you.
4. Cookies we do not set
Because we don't sell advertising, retarget visitors, or run social pixels, we do not set:
- Advertising or marketing cookies.
- Social network tracking cookies.
- Cross-site identifiers that follow you elsewhere.
If you visit tvmountingnow.online and then see an TVMountingNow advert somewhere else on the web later — that isn't us. Let us know; it would be a fault in our setup we'd want to fix.
5. How to turn cookies off
You can refuse non-essential cookies from the banner the first time you visit. You can also clear or block cookies in your browser settings — every browser explains how on its own help pages. Refusing the essential cookies will break parts of the site (the form especially).
6. Changes to this list
If we add a cookie, this list is updated and the "last reviewed" date at the top of the page changes. We will never quietly add a tracker between reviews.
7. Asking us about a cookie
If you'd like to know more about any cookie on the site, or you've spotted something you don't recognise, write to hello@tvmountingnow.online. We answer in plain language.
