8. Cookies

To make this website work properly, THPay, like many major websites, sometimes uses small information files called Cookies and other tracking technologies to track information about your use of our website and services. We may use third-party service providers to collect this information.

8.1 What Are Cookies? A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It allows the website to remember your actions and preferences, such as login, language, font size, and other display preferences, over a period of time so that you do not have to re-enter them whenever you return to the site.

8.2 How We Use Cookies and Tracking Mechanisms. THPay's website uses the following cookies and tracking mechanisms:

  1. Session Cookies: Temporary cookies stored in the browser's cookie file until the browser is closed. We use session cookies to allow information to be transmitted across our website pages and to avoid resubmitting the same information. Once the browser is closed, the cookie is deleted.
  2. Persistent Cookies: Cookies that remain in the browser's cookie file for a period that depends on the specific cookie. We use persistent cookies so that when you return to our website, they help us recognize you as a unique visitor and monitor your use of our website. If you arrive through paid advertisements on affiliate or partner websites, they may also allow us to link you to one of our partners. The cookie is deleted automatically according to its expiration date.

Web beacons collect limited information, including cookie numbers, the time and date of a page view, and descriptions of the pages on which they are located. These beacons do not contain personally identifiable information and are used to track the effectiveness of specific marketing campaigns.

8.3 How to Control Cookies. You can control and delete cookies as you wish. For details, see aboutcookies.org. You can delete all cookies already on your computer, and most browsers can be set to block cookies. However, if you do so, you may need to manually adjust certain preferences every time you visit the website, and some services and features may not work properly.
