The short version
This site sets no advertising cookies and no cross-site tracking cookies. The only cookies involved are a short-lived security cookie from our hosting provider and the standard Google Analytics cookies listed below. That is the whole list. There is no consent banner because there is nothing to consent to beyond what keeps the site secure.
What cookies and storage are
Cookies are small files a website asks your browser to keep, and "local storage" is your browser's built-in key-value store — both live on your device, and privacy law (the EU ePrivacy rules) treats them the same way, so we disclose both. Nothing on this site reads your other tabs, other sites, or your browsing history.
Cookies this site may set
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
__cf_bm | Cloudflare (our host) | Security — bot detection that keeps the site online and scrapers out. Strictly necessary. | 30 minutes |
cf_clearance | Cloudflare | Only if a security check ever shows: proves you passed it so you aren't asked again. Strictly necessary. | Up to 1 year |
_ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics 4 | Distinguish visits from each other and measure which pages are useful, in aggregate. | Up to 2 years |
Cloudflare Web Analytics — our primary traffic counter — is cookieless: it sets no cookies at all and does not fingerprint visitors. If you block or delete the Google Analytics cookies, nothing on this site breaks; they measure, they don't enable.
Browser storage (localStorage) this site uses
| Key | What it holds | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
pt:saved | The slugs of the platforms you saved to your list. | Until you clear site data or unsave everything |
pt:votes | The slugs of the platforms you upvoted, so you can't vote twice. | Until you clear site data |
pt:uuid | A random anonymous ID generated in your browser — the pseudonymous key your saves and votes are mirrored under. It contains no personal data and is never linked to your identity. | Until you clear site data |
Clearing your browser's site data for paidtaskers.app removes all three and your saved list with them — that is the same thing as "deleting your account" here, because there is no account.
Why there's no consent banner
EU/UK rules require consent for cookies and similar storage that are not strictly necessary. This site only has strictly necessary or functional items: a security cookie from the host, optional analytics you can trivially block, and browser storage that does what you asked for (saving your list). So instead of a pop-up you'd click through, there is this page that tells you everything. If we ever add advertising cookies or third-party tracking, a consent banner will come with them, and this page will change first.
Other sites set their own cookies
When you follow any link off this site — to a survey panel, an AI-training platform, or a tool like our affiliate partners — that site sets its own cookies under its own policy, and some of them are advertising-heavy. We can't see or control what they do. Read their policies before signing up; our scam checker lists the red flags to look for.
Managing cookies and storage
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies and clear site data per-site (look in settings for "Privacy and security", then "Cookies and other site data"). Blocking our storage only costs you your saved-platforms list and vote state — browsing, searching, and the scam checker all work without it. The Google Analytics opt-out add-on disables GA specifically.
Changes
If what we store changes, this page changes with it and the date at the top moves. Questions: kim@paidtaskers.app. See also our Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, and Affiliate Disclosure.
