The short version
TriedCodes doesn't set any cookies when you browse it. When you click through to a store, the store's affiliate network sets its own tracking cookie so the store knows the order came from us. When we add ads from Google AdSense, we'll list their cookies here and ask for your consent where the law requires it.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website saves in your browser. Some are needed for a site to work or stay secure. Others remember you across visits or across different websites, for example to measure clicks or show ads.
We don't use tracking pixels or browser fingerprinting to follow you either. The only thing the site keeps in your browser's local storage is the date you closed the "Get the app" bar on Android phones, so it stays closed for 30 days. It never leaves your device.
Cookies we set
None. You can use every part of TriedCodes, including codes, sales and the contact form, without getting a cookie from us.
Security cookies from Cloudflare
Cloudflare protects the site from bots and attacks. It may set short-lived cookies that are needed for security, not for tracking, so they can't be switched off.
| Cookie | What it's for | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
| __cf_bm | Tells real visitors apart from bots | 30 minutes |
| cf_clearance | Remembers that you passed a security check, so you don't see it again | Usually 30 minutes |
| _cfuvid | Applies fair limits on how often a visitor can load pages | Until you close your browser |
Affiliate tracking cookies
When a store's affiliate program has approved us, clicking "Show code", "Shop the sale" or "Go to store" sends you through a short redirect (/go/…) and the affiliate network's website on the way to the store. The network sets its own cookie on its own website, with a random click ID, so the store knows the order came from us and can pay our commission. It doesn't change your price or whether a code works.
How long the cookie lasts is set by each store's program, usually between 1 and 45 days. The network's own cookie policy explains exactly what it stores.
These are the affiliate networks we currently have approved programs with. The list updates automatically.
- Awin30 store programs
- CJ Affiliate87 store programs
Once you're on the store's website, the store's own cookie and privacy policies apply.
Ads from Google AdSense
We plan to show ads from Google AdSense. These ads aren't live yet, and we'll update this section before they are. When they go live:
- Google and other third-party vendors will use cookies to show ads based on your previous visits to TriedCodes or other websites.
- Google's advertising cookies let it and its partners show you ads based on your visits to our site and other sites on the internet.
- You'll be able to turn off personalized ads in Google's Ads Settings, or opt out of some other vendors' personalized ads at aboutads.info.
- How Google uses information from sites that use its services explains more.
We'll ask for your consent before these cookies are set where the law requires it, and you'll be able to change your choice at any time.
In the Android app
The app doesn't use cookies. It keeps your settings, the stores you follow and your saved offers on your phone. Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google) delivers its notifications, and Firebase Crashlytics (Google) sends crash reports, as our privacy policy explains. There are no ads in the app today. If we add Google AdMob ads, the app will ask for your consent first where the law requires it, and we'll list what AdMob stores here.
How to control cookies
Every browser lets you see, block and delete cookies:
Blocking cookies won't stop codes from working or change your price. If you block affiliate cookies, the store may not know the order came from us, and we won't earn a commission, which is fine.
Global Privacy Control
If your browser sends the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as a request to opt out of any sale or sharing of your personal information, including for targeted ads. See Do Not Sell or Share in our privacy policy.
Changes to this notice
When we add or change a cookie, we'll update this page and the date at the top first.
