How Hottop5 uses cookies
Essential
Required for the Site to function — e.g. remembering the mobile menu state, basic security. The Site can’t work properly without these.
Analytics
Help us see which pages, categories and deals are actually useful, so we know what to cover and re-verify first (e.g. Google Analytics).
Affiliate / referral
Set by the destination store or network when you click a code or “Get Deal” link, to attribute a purchase to Hottop5 — usually expires 24h–30 days after your click.
Advertising
If the Site displays ads, ad partners may use cookies to serve relevant ads and measure performance, per their own policies.
Managing cookies
Most browsers let you view, delete and block cookies through their settings. Blocking essential cookies may affect how parts of the Site function. You can also opt out of many third-party advertising cookies via the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes. Check back periodically for the latest version.
