library_booksControlling your cookie preferences

While most web browsers and mobile applications are set to accept cookies by default, you can manage or disable cookies through your browser or device settings. Adjusting these settings allows you to control how cookies interact with your experience on Trepup.

You may choose to block all cookies on your browser or mobile app. However, doing so may limit your ability to use certain features on Trepup and access interest‑based advertising. For instructions on managing cookies, refer to the help section of your browser or device.

Please note that blocking, disabling, or deleting cookies does not completely prevent third‑party tracking. In certain regions, such as the EU or India, you may also see a cookie preferences prompt when accessing Trepup — allowing you to choose which cookies to enable or disable in accordance with local privacy laws.

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 platforms. These plugins, represented by share icons from platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, let you share content, listings, and media directly from Trepup's mobile app.

When you interact with these plugins, such as by clicking a share button, the social 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 platforms.

Interacting with these plugins may send your data directly to the social 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 each social platform collects, processes, and uses your data — including your rights and privacy settings — we recommend reviewing the privacy policies of the respective platforms.

library_booksWeb beacons and similar technologies

Trepup uses additional tools, including web beacons (also known as clear GIFs or pixel tags), to understand user behavior and improve your experience. Web beacons are tiny, invisible images integrated into platform elements — such as system notifications or performance tracking modules — that monitor actions like saving your preferences or keeping you signed in after refreshing the page. This information helps us optimize content, assess system performance, and refine your interactions with Trepup.

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 sign‑in 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

Trepup does not currently respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals sent by web browsers, as no uniform standard for recognizing or honoring such signals has been established. Regulatory frameworks such as GDPR and CCPA do not currently mandate compliance with DNT signals in their existing form.

We actively monitor developments in global privacy standards and industry specifications. If a widely recognized framework for DNT is adopted, Trepup will update this cookies policy accordingly.
