Cookie Policy
On this page7 sections
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. This page also covers similar technologies such as local storage and advertising identifiers. For everything else about personal information, see the Privacy Policy.
1. Strictly necessary
These make the site work or remember a privacy choice you made. They do not track you across other sites.
| Name | Set by | Type | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
tpb_us_optout | This site | Local storage | Remembers that you opted out of sale or sharing on the Do Not Sell or Share page | Until you opt back in or clear site data |
| Consent record | Our consent management platform, when active | Cookie or local storage on this site | Stores the advertising choices you make in the consent message (EEA, UK and Switzerland) | As stated in the consent message |
tpb_business_details | This site, only if you tick “Remember my business details on this device” | Local storage | Fills in your own business name, address, phone, email and default terms on the next estimate or invoice | Until you press “Forget my details” or clear site data |
tpb_price_book | This site, only if you tick “Save in this browser” in the price book builder | Local storage | Keeps the price book you built (trade, rate, settings, task names, hours, parts costs, notes and the business name you typed) so it is there next time | Until you untick the box or clear site data |
tpb_rate_handoff | This site, only when you follow “Price your tasks at … an hour” under the labor rate result | Session storage (this tab only) | Carries two numbers, your hourly rate and the rate rounded up, to the price book builder | Deleted as soon as the price book builder reads it, or when you close the tab |
| Security cookies | Cloudflare, our content delivery network | Cookie | Set only when Cloudflare needs to tell people from automated traffic | Minutes to hours |
__Host-as_csrf | account.tradepricebook.com, only when you ask for a sign-in code | Cookie (HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax) | Protects the sign-in and My Saved forms from being sent by another site | Up to 90 days |
__Host-as_login | account.tradepricebook.com, only when you ask for a sign-in code | Cookie (HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax) | Connects this browser to the code you asked for | 10 minutes, or until you sign in |
__Host-as_sid | account.tradepricebook.com, only after you enter your sign-in code | Cookie (HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax) | Keeps you signed in on this device so you can list and open what you saved | Until you sign out, after 30 days without use, and at most 90 days |
tpb_open_saved | This site, only when you open a saved item from My Saved | Session storage (this tab only) | Carries that saved item to its calculator | Deleted as soon as the calculator reads it, or when you close the tab |
Apart from the optional business details and price book, the one-time rate hand-off and, if you sign in, the sign-in cookies above, the tools store nothing. The numbers, customer details and line items you type are not saved in cookies or local storage, and are gone when you close or reload the page, unless you press Save (see section 7).
2. Statistics
None. We don't use Google Analytics or any other analytics service. If we add one, this page will be updated first, and where the law requires it, statistics cookies will load only after you agree.
3. Advertising
The site is funded by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies and advertising identifiers, set on Google's own domains and sometimes on this site, to show ads, limit how often you see the same ad, measure performance and prevent fraud. With your permission, or where the law allows it, they can also use them to personalize ads based on your visits to this and other sites. Google describes these cookies in How Google uses cookies and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
We do not set, read, change or delete cookies that belong to Google's domains.
4. When advertising scripts load
No advertising script loads before the choice required for you has been recorded:
- Visitors in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland: ads load only after you choose in a Google-certified consent management platform that uses the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework. If you decline, no personalized ads are shown. Until such a platform is active on this site, no ads load for these visitors at all.
- Visitors in the United States and elsewhere: before ads load, the site reads your saved opt-out choice and any Global Privacy Control signal. If you have opted out, ads are requested in Google’s restricted data processing mode, which means non-personalized ads only.
- Pages without ads, such as Contact, Search and the legal pages, never load advertising scripts.
5. How to control cookies
- Opt out of sale or sharing on this browser: Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information.
- Personalized Google ads: Google Ads Settings.
- Other participating ad companies: www.aboutads.info and, in Europe, www.youronlinechoices.eu.
- Your browser's settings let you block or delete cookies and site data. Blocking strictly necessary storage means the site can't remember your opt-out choice.
6. Questions
Email hello@tradepricebook.com.
7. Optional accounts
- Without an account the tools work as described above and set no cookie of their own.
- With an account the strictly necessary cookies in the table above are set by account.tradepricebook.com when you ask for a sign-in code and after you enter it. They protect and identify your sign-in only. The sign-in cookie is removed when you sign out, and none of them is used for advertising or analytics. Because they are strictly necessary for a service you asked for, they are set without a consent banner.
- Marketing consent is stored in your account record (time, source, wording version), not in a cookie.
