Which cookies our website uses, why, and how you can accept, decline or change your choice at any time.
Last updated:
This Cookie Policy explains how TLS Helper (“we”, “our”, or “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website https://tlshelper.net.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. Cookies help websites function properly, improve user experience, and provide analytical information.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use a small number of cookies to keep our website secure, to remember your cookie choice and, only if you agree, to measure how our website is used with Google Analytics.
We do not use cookies to:
- Show you advertising or build advertising or marketing profiles
- Sell or share your browsing data
- Collect sensitive personal information
Like any website, our hosting provider may keep basic server logs (such as IP address, browser type and the pages requested) for security purposes. These logs do not rely on cookies. See our Privacy Policy for details.
3. Cookies We Use
3.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are needed for the website to work and to stay secure, so they do not require your consent.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
tlsh_consent | TLS Helper | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics cookies | 180 days |
hcdn | Hostinger (our hosting provider) | Protects the website against abuse and automated attacks | Session |
3.2 Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics 4, provided by Google, to understand how visitors use our website, such as how many people visit, which pages they view and how long they stay. This helps us improve our pages. These cookies are only set if you click “Accept” in our cookie banner.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes one visitor from another | 2 years |
_ga_<ID> | Google Analytics | Keeps track of your current visit | 2 years |
We use Google Consent Mode. If you decline, or before you make a choice, no analytics cookies are stored on your device. Google may still receive basic, cookieless signals (for example, that a page was loaded and your consent choice) which it uses in aggregated form. You can read how Google uses this information in How Google uses information from sites that use its services.
3.3 Advertising and Functional Cookies
We do not use advertising cookies, and we do not currently use functional cookies.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Apart from Google Analytics (only with your consent), we do not use third-party services that place cookies on your device through our website.
If you follow a link from our website to a third-party website (for example, the TLS platform or an official visa portal), that website may set its own cookies. TLS Helper does not control third-party cookies. We recommend reviewing the privacy and cookie policies of third-party services you use.
5. Managing Cookies
You can accept or decline analytics cookies in the cookie banner when you first visit our website, and change your choice at any time with the “Cookie settings” link in the footer of every page.
You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time.
Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some websites.
6. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we change the cookies or tools we use. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
