Cookie policy

Last verified against a live session: 12 September 2026

1. ScopeWebsite

This policy covers turbobulls.com, the public website, and the Turbobulls Community at community.turbobulls.com, described in section 6. The application at app.turbobulls.com is governed separately and is described in section 5.

2. What applies whatever you chooseAlways on

We record that a visit took place, anonymously. Nothing identifies you, and one visit cannot be connected to the next. Counting a visit is distinct from storing information on your device, and it is the second of those that consent governs.

Two items are held on your device irrespective of your choice, a third once you pick a theme, and a fourth while you are signed in to the app. All four are listed below rather than summarised.

Stored irrespective of your choice
NameStored asSet byPurposeRetention
cookie-consentLocal storageTurbobullsRecords the choice you made on the banner, so that you are not asked again on every page.Until cleared
cookie-consent-dateLocal storageTurbobullsRecords when that choice was made, so a consent that has aged can be distinguished from a current one.Until cleared
turbobulls-themeLocal storageTurbobullsThe theme you picked with the switch in the header or footer: light, dark or system. Nothing is stored until you pick one.Until cleared
tb_signed_inCookieTurbobulls, set by the appPresent only while you are signed in to the app, so this site can show "Open app" instead of "Try for free" as soon as a page loads. It holds the value 1 and nothing else: no name, no account details and no login, and the app removes it once it sees you signed out.30 days, renewed while you stay signed in
tb_campaignSession storageTurbobullsThe advertisement or link that brought you to the site, so that a signup can be attributed to it. It describes the advertisement, not you.Until the tab is closed

3. What accepting addsOn consent

Accepting the banner adds three things, and nothing beyond them.

  1. A cookie, so that a returning visitor can be distinguished from a new one.
  2. A recording of how pages are used, replaying clicks and scrolling on our own pages. Text you type is masked and does not reach us.
  3. Advertising. We measure whether an advertisement brought somebody to the site, and Google may subsequently show you Turbobulls advertisements on other sites. Choosing it in the banner also chooses the first two, which share one switch, because the Google Analytics cookie (_ga) that lets us credit an account to an advertisement is only set once that switch is on.
Stored only after you accept

_gcl_lsLocal storageGoogle AdsThe same connection, held where a cookie may not persist.Until cleared

4. Withdrawing consentYour choice

Use the control, which also appears in the footer of every page under the same name. Withdrawing reloads the page: a script the browser has already executed cannot be unloaded by any other means, and we would rather reload than report that something has stopped when it has not.

Declining costs you nothing. No part of this site is withheld from visitors who decline.

5. Inside the applicationApp

One item crosses between the two. If you accept advertising on this website and then create an account, Google’s identifier for that visit is stored against your profile, so that a subscription taken out weeks later can be attributed to the advertisement that produced it. When a payment is made we send Google that identifier, the amount and the currency, and nothing else: not your name, not your email address, and nothing about what you hold. It is never joined to anything inside your account, and as stated at the top of this page, the contents of your account are not readable by us in any case.

6. The communityCommunity

The Turbobulls Community loads no analytics or advertising script and sets no cookie to measure you. Its page views are counted on our server without cookies, and the banner on this website does not apply there.

The items below are everything it keeps on your device. A reader who is not signed in gets the first one, and the theme once they pick one. The cookies, the editor items and the bull buddy switch are for members.

Stored by the community
NameStored asSet byPurposeRetention
tbc:auto-sign-inLocal storageTurbobullsWhen the community last asked app.turbobulls.com whether you are signed in there, and whether it then started a sign-in, so that it asks at most once every ten minutes and tries at most once an hour. It holds a time, nothing about you.Until cleared
turbobulls-themeLocal storageTurbobullsThe theme you picked in the community, with the switch in the header or in the account menu. Nothing is stored until you pick one.Until cleared
__Host-tbc-authCookieTurbobullsKeeps a member signed in to the community. A large session is split into numbered parts (.0, .1).30 days
__Host-tbc_handoffCookieTurbobullsA one-time value that secures signing in with your Turbobulls account. Deleted as soon as the sign-in finishes or fails.15 minutes
tbc:composer-modeLocal storageTurbobullsWhether you write posts in the rich editor or in Markdown. Stored once you switch.Until cleared
tbc:draft:v1:…Session storageTurbobullsA thread or reply you have started but not posted, so that a reload does not lose it. Never sent to us, and cleared when you sign out.Until the tab is closed, at most 24 hours
tbc:bull-buddyLocal storageTurbobullsPresent only while you have bull buddy, the pixel bull, switched on in the account menu, and removed when you switch it off. It holds the value on and nothing else.Until cleared
