This Cookie Policy explains how TargetHit ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website and use our services. By continuing to use our website, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners information about how their site is being used.

- Persistent Cookies: Cookies that remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them
- First-Party Cookies: Cookies set by the website you are visiting (TargetHit)
- Third-Party Cookies: Cookies set by external services integrated into the website
2. Cookies We Use
2.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |

2.3 Analytics Cookies
Apart from the first-party sign-up source cookie (th_ft) described in section 2.5, we do not set analytics cookies. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand which pages are viewed; it works without cookies. The advertising and measurement cookies described in section 2.5 are not anonymous.
2.4 Third-Party Cookies
Some third-party services we use may set their own cookies. These cookies are governed by the respective third party's privacy policy.
| Service | Purpose | Privacy Policy |
|---|---|---|
| Stripe | Payment processing | stripe.com/privacy |
| OAuth authentication (Sign in with Google) | policies.google.com/privacy | |
| OpenAI | ChatGPT Ads measurement pixel (ad click attribution, sign-up conversions) | openai.com/policies/privacy-policy |
| Meta | Meta Pixel (ad measurement, sign-up and checkout events) | facebook.com/privacy/policy |
2.5 Advertising and Measurement Cookies
These cookies are set by the OpenAI (ChatGPT Ads) measurement pixel and the Meta Pixel. They recognize your browser and link a visit or sign-up to an ad click, so we can measure which ads work. They are not anonymous. We also set one first-party cookie of our own, th_ft, when you arrive from another website or from a link with campaign tags: it remembers the campaign tags, the page you landed on, the referring website's name and the date, so that if you create an account we know which campaign brought you. It contains no IP address and is not shared with anyone. See section 4.6 of our Privacy Policy for the data these partners receive.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| th_ft | TargetHit (first-party) | Sign-up source: campaign tags, landing page and referring website of your first visit from an ad or another website | 90 days |
| __oppref | OpenAI | ChatGPT ad click attribution (set only when you arrive from a ChatGPT ad) | 30 days |
| __obref | OpenAI | Random browser identifier for ad measurement | 365 days |
| _fbp | Meta | Browser identifier for ad measurement | 90 days |
| _fbc | Meta | Facebook/Instagram ad click attribution (set only when you arrive from a Meta ad) | 90 days |
