Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how TapIfLost may use cookies, local storage, pixels, analytics tools, and similar technologies across the platform and related services.
Effective Date: March 11, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how TAPIFLOST LLC (“TAPIFLOST,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) may use cookies, pixels, local storage, scripts, SDKs, and similar technologies when you visit or interact with tapiflost.com and related TAPIFLOST-controlled services, interfaces, dashboards, and recovery experiences (collectively, the “Services”).
This Cookie Policy should be read together with the TapIfLost Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meanings set out in those documents.
1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your browser or device when you visit a website. Similar technologies may include local storage objects, pixels, tags, scripts, SDKs, session identifiers, and device-based storage mechanisms that help websites and services recognize devices, remember preferences, improve performance, measure activity, and support security functions.
Some technologies operate only for the duration of your browsing session, while others remain on your device for a longer period until they expire or are deleted.
2. Why TapIfLost Uses These Technologies
TAPIFLOST and its service providers may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
- to authenticate users and maintain secure sessions
- to remember settings, preferences, and interface choices
- to enable account login and dashboard functionality
- to support recovery workflows and service continuity
- to understand site traffic, feature use, and performance
- to detect abuse, fraud, malicious activity, bots, and account compromise risks
- to troubleshoot errors and maintain service reliability
- to measure the effectiveness of pages, content, and communications
- to support limited marketing, remarketing, or analytics activity where used and permitted by law
3. Types of Cookies and Technologies We May Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are necessary for core site operation and cannot be disabled in all cases without impairing functionality. They may be used for session management, authentication, security, traffic routing, consent state retention, load balancing, and similar essential purposes.
3.2 Functional Cookies
These technologies help remember user preferences and improve convenience, such as retaining language settings, form progress, interface preferences, or previously selected options.
3.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies
These technologies help us understand how visitors interact with the Services, such as which pages are visited, how long users remain on pages, whether errors occur, and how features perform. They may be used to improve usability, stability, content organization, and operational performance.
3.4 Security and Fraud-Prevention Technologies
These technologies may be used to detect suspicious behavior, enforce rate limits, reduce abuse, identify bots, protect account access, support fraud review, and maintain service integrity.
3.5 Advertising or Remarketing Technologies
Where used, and where permitted by applicable law, TAPIFLOST or its providers may use certain technologies to better understand marketing effectiveness, avoid repeated promotion to the same user, or support limited remarketing or audience measurement. TapIfLost does not use these technologies to change the core privacy commitments stated in the Privacy Policy.
4. First-Party and Third-Party Technologies
Some cookies and similar technologies may be set directly by TAPIFLOST. Others may be set by third-party service providers acting on our behalf, such as analytics providers, fraud-prevention vendors, communications vendors, hosting providers, or embedded service providers.
Third-party providers may collect information according to their own policies and contractual relationships with TAPIFLOST. TapIfLost does not control every aspect of third-party browser or device behavior.
5. Information Collected Through These Technologies
Depending on the technology and implementation, the information collected may include:
- IP address
- browser type and version
- device type
- operating system
- language and regional settings
- referring page or URL
- pages visited and page timing data
- session identifiers
- authentication or login state
- interaction events
- error or crash information
- security or abuse-detection signals
For more detail on how information is handled once collected, please review the TapIfLost Privacy Policy.
6. Your Choices
You may be able to manage cookies and similar technologies through browser settings, device settings, privacy controls, consent banners, or third-party opt-out mechanisms, depending on the context.
For example, many browsers allow you to:
- view stored cookies
- delete cookies
- block some or all cookies
- receive alerts before cookies are placed
- clear browsing storage or local storage data
Please note that blocking or deleting certain technologies may affect the availability, security, performance, or functionality of some parts of the Services, including login persistence, account access, dashboard use, or other interactive features.
7. Consent and Region-Specific Controls
Where required by applicable law, TAPIFLOST will seek consent before placing certain non-essential cookies or similar technologies. In jurisdictions where such consent is not required for certain technologies, those technologies may still be used as permitted by law for essential operations, security, fraud prevention, and other legitimate purposes.
If a consent management tool or cookie banner is made available on the Services, your selections may be stored to honor your preferences.
8. Do Not Track and Similar Browser Signals
Because there is not yet a universally accepted standard for browser-based “Do Not Track” signals across all technologies and jurisdictions, the Services may not respond uniformly to every such signal unless required by law or enabled through a specific technical control implemented by TAPIFLOST.
9. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, technology, business practices, service providers, or the Services themselves. The Effective Date above indicates when this version became effective.
If we make material changes, we may provide additional notice through the Services or by other reasonable means where required by law.
