A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit. It lets a site remember things, so that you do not have to sign in again or re-pick your settings on every page. This policy is part of Buy Me a Coffee's Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
Cookies on Buy Me a Coffee
In short, we use cookies and similar technologies to run Buy Me a Coffee. Some are essential and the site will not work without them. The rest are optional, and they make the product better or help us understand and improve it. If you delete or block cookies, some features may stop working as intended.
This policy covers cookies, local storage, pixels and the SDKs in our mobile apps. We call them all cookies here.
Essential cookies. Needed for the site to work: signing you in, keeping your account secure, completing payments safely, preventing fraud, and protecting the integrity of the service.
Functional cookies. Needed for optional features to work properly, such as remembering your language, your display currency, and other settings and preferences.
Analytics cookies. Help us learn, measure and improve how Buy Me a Coffee is used and how well it performs, including understanding usage patterns in aggregate.
Marketing cookies. Help us market Buy Me a Coffee to creators and supporters, including measuring how our own campaigns perform and reaching audiences similar to you, as controlled by your marketing preferences. We do not show other companies' ads on Buy Me a Coffee.
Some of these are set by companies that run parts of our service, such as our payment processor and our analytics provider. They use the data only for the job we hired them for. Creator pages can also include embedded content, such as a video or music player, and those services set their own cookies.
How to manage cookies
We have a cookie preference tool where you can see and change your cookie preferences for this browser at any time. If you are in the EU, UK or Switzerland, we ask for your consent before setting anything other than essential cookies.
You can also set your browser to decline cookies, delete them, or warn you when a site tries to set one. Your browser's own help pages explain how. In our mobile apps, limit tracking in your device settings instead.
