Cookie Policy | Your Tax Base

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently and to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Your Tax Base) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., analytics, advertising, or interactive content).

4. Other Tracking Technologies

4.1 Web Beacons (Pixel Tags)

Local storage allows websites to store data locally within your browser. We may use local storage to save your preferences and improve your user experience. Unlike cookies, local storage data does not expire automatically.

4.3 Session Storage

Session storage is similar to local storage but is cleared when you close your browser tab. We use session storage for temporary data during your browsing session.

6. How to Control Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences through the following methods:

For advertising cookies specifically, the vendor and industry opt-out tools listed in section 6.3 let you opt out across sites.

7. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activities tracked. Currently, there is no industry standard for recognizing or responding to DNT signals. At this time, our website does not respond to DNT signals.
