Cookie Policy
Last updated: May 2, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Turtle Rewards Limited (“we,” “our,” or “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use our platform. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences and keep you signed in. We also use similar technologies such as local storage (browser-based storage) and JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) for authentication.
2. Cookies and Technologies We Use
We use only strictly necessary cookies and technologies required for the platform to function. We do not use advertising cookies, third-party tracking pixels, analytics cookies (such as Google Analytics), or social media cookies.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| refresh_token | HttpOnly Cookie | Keeps you signed in by securely storing a refresh token. Cannot be read by JavaScript. Used to issue new access tokens when your session expires. | 7 days |
| user_role | Cookie | Stores your account type (customer or business) so the website shows you the correct pages. Contains no personal information. | 7 days |
| admin_session | HttpOnly Cookie | Used during admin impersonation sessions only. Stores the admin's authentication token securely. Cannot be read by JavaScript. | 30 minutes |
| access_token | Local Storage | Your authentication token (JWT) used to make API requests. Stored in browser local storage, not as a cookie. | 4 hours (auto-refreshes) |
| user | Local Storage | Stores your basic profile information (name, role) so the interface can display it without making additional server requests. | Until logout |
| UI preferences | Local Storage | Stores non-personal preferences such as dismissed tooltips, setup checklist progress, and theme settings. | Persistent |
3. What We Do NOT Use
To be clear, we do not use:
- Google Analytics or any third-party analytics service
- Facebook Pixel, Google Ads, or any advertising tracker
- Social media cookies or share buttons that track you
- Cross-site tracking cookies
- Fingerprinting or canvas tracking technologies
- Any cookie that shares your data with advertisers
4. Managing Cookies
Because all our cookies are strictly necessary for the platform to function, we do not display a cookie consent banner. If you disable cookies in your browser settings:
- Disabling cookies entirely: You will not be able to stay signed in. You will need to log in on every visit.
- Clearing local storage: You will be logged out and will need to sign in again. UI preferences (dismissed tips, checklist progress) will reset.
- Private/Incognito mode: The platform works normally in private browsing mode. Cookies and local storage are cleared when you close the window.
Most browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. Consult your browser's help documentation for instructions specific to your browser.
5. Changes to This Policy
If we introduce new types of cookies (for example, if we add analytics in the future), we will update this policy and notify you. If we ever introduce non-essential cookies, we will implement a cookie consent mechanism so you can choose which cookies to accept.
