library_booksUse of cookies and plugins by third parties
Third parties, such as analytics providers and advertising networks, may use cookies on Trepup to collect information about your activities. These cookies are typically used to build anonymous profiles based on your interactions with Trepup and other websites you visit. While Trepup may partner with such third parties, their cookies and data practices are governed by their respective privacy policies. We encourage you to review these policies to understand how your data is collected and used. Trepup does not control third-party cookies or the information they collect.
In addition, Trepup integrates third-party plugins to enhance your experience and enable seamless content sharing across social media platforms. These plugins, represented by share icons from networks such as YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, allow you to share blog posts, products, and multimedia directly from Trepup.
When you interact with these plugins, such as by clicking a share button, the social media platform may collect data about your action, even if you are not logged in or do not have an account with that platform. This data may include your IP address, browser details, and other information as outlined in the privacy policies of the respective social media platforms.
Please note that the use of these plugins may result in your data being transferred directly to the social media platform's servers, where it may be processed or stored. Trepup does not access or control the cookies or data collected through these plugins. For more details on how these platforms collect, process, and use your data, as well as your rights and privacy settings, we recommend reviewing the privacy policies of each respective platform.
library_booksWeb beacons and similar technologies
Trepup uses additional tools, such as web beacons (also known as clear GIFs or pixel tags), to understand user behavior and improve your experience. Web beacons are tiny, invisible images embedded in emails or web pages that track actions, such as whether you’ve opened an email, clicked a link, or shared content. This information helps us assess email performance, optimize content, and analyze user behavior to enhance your overall experience.
Similarly, local storage—a browser-based technology—saves small pieces of data on your device to enable specific platform features, such as saving your preferences or maintaining login states. These tools work together to deliver a seamless and personalized experience while respecting your privacy.
While you cannot opt out of web beacons directly, you can limit their functionality by disabling cookies they interact with through your browser settings. Likewise, local storage can be cleared by adjusting your browser’s settings.
These technologies support Trepup’s compliance with its terms of service and legal policies, while enabling features that enhance platform functionality and security.
library_booksDo not track signals
Currently, no industry standard for Do Not Track (DNT) technology has been finalized by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). As a result, Trepup does not respond to web browser DNT signals. However, we remain committed to monitoring developments in this area. If a standardized framework is adopted, Trepup will review its practices to ensure compliance and update this section of the cookies policy to reflect the new standard.
