Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on our website. By using our website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the website owners.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems.
- Performance Cookies: These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site.
- Functional Cookies: These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization.
- Targeting Cookies: These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners to build a profile of your interests.
Referral reward cookies
If you take part in the invitation reward programme, RemoveVideoBG sets two additional cookies. They are not set unless you open an invitation link or use a reward feature.
| Cookie | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|
reward_referral | Remembers which invitation link brought you here, so the reward can be credited to the person who invited you. Contains only the 8-character invitation code and an expiry, signed so it cannot be altered. Set only when you open an invitation link while signed out. | 30 days |
_reward_did | A random identifier for this browser, signed by our server. It is used only to apply the fairness limits of the reward programme — for example, to stop one browser from collecting the same daily reward on many accounts. It contains no information about you or your device, and is not used for advertising, analytics or cross-site tracking. | 1 year |
Both are HttpOnly (not readable by page scripts) and signed by our server, so their contents cannot be modified. Deleting reward_referral means we can no longer tell who invited you, so the invitation reward cannot be credited. Deleting _reward_did does not stop you using RemoveVideoBG.
The reward system does not calculate a browser fingerprint from hardware or browser characteristics. _reward_did is instead a random value our server issues and signs. Clearing it gives the browser a new random value, but does not erase account- or network-based reward limits.
