4. How Total Processing Uses Cookies 

Cookies play an important role in helping us provide effective and safe Services. Below is a description of the commonly used cookie types and the purposes that apply to them. Each section references TP’s Cookies.

Strictly Necessary Cookies 

Some cookies are essential to the operation of our Site and Services and make it usable and secure by enabling basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas of the Site. We use those cookies in a number of different ways, including:

• Authentication. To remember your login state so you don’t have to log in as you navigate through our Site and dashboard.
• Fraud Prevention and Detection. Cookies and similar technologies that we deploy through our Site help us learn things about computers and web browsers used to access the Services. This information helps us monitor for and detect potentially harmful or illegal use of our Services. For example, in order to process payment transactions for our Users, it is necessary for TP to collect information about the transaction and the Customer. To help secure these transactions and minimise fraud, we collect additional information through the use of cookies and other technologies in helping to identify bad actors and prevent them from making fraudulent transactions. Customers should check our Users’ sites for more information about the use of TP cookies for fraud detection.
• Security. To protect user data from unauthorised access.
• Functionality. To keep our Site and Services working correctly, like showing you the right information for your selected location.

Preference Cookies

Preference Cookies are designed to help the user experience without tracking behaviour or personal data.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies are used to enhance the performance of websites as without them certain functions of the website may not be available. Functional cookies help to provide TP services that a user requests. However, they are not vital for the TP website to run. They are anonymous and don’t track users’ browsing activity across other websites.

Targeting Cookies

We and our service providers will use cookies and similar technologies on TotalProcessing.com to direct TP ads to you through targeted advertisements for TP Services on other sites you visit and to measure your engagement with those ads.

5. Can I opt-out? 

Yes. You can opt out of cookies, with the exception of those cookies that are necessary to provide you with our Services. Your web browser may allow you to manage your cookie preferences, including to delete and disable TP cookies.
