Privacy
Cookie policy
Exactly what Reward Hours stores in your browser, and why.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website saves in your browser. Similar tools, such as local storage, save information on your device in the same way. In this policy we call them all "cookies".
2. The short version
- We only use cookies that the site needs to work, plus your own saved display settings.
- We do not use advertising cookies, and no other company sets cookies through our site.
- Optional analytics or marketing cookies are off until you say yes, and we honour Global Privacy Control signals.
3. Strictly necessary cookies
These keep the site secure and let you log in. They cannot be switched off, because the site would not work without them. They are never used for advertising.

|---|---|---|
rh_session | Keeps you logged in after you sign in. | 30 days if you choose "Keep me logged in", otherwise until you close the browser |
rh_csrf | Security token that protects forms from being sent by other websites. | Until you close the browser |
rh_flash | Shows a one-time message, such as "You are logged out". | 2 minutes |
rh_old | Keeps what you typed in the sign-up form if there was a mistake, so you do not have to start again. | 10 minutes |
rh_d | A random number that recognises this browser, so we can spot one person running several accounts and keep rewards fair. Never used for advertising. | 400 days |
4. Saved on your device
These are kept in your browser's local storage. They never leave your device and are not sent to us.
| Name | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
rh-prefs | Remembers your display and accessibility settings, such as dark mode, text size, contrast and reduced motion. | Until you clear it or change the settings |
rh-consent | Remembers your cookie choices, so we do not ask again on every page. | Until you clear it or change your choices |
5. Optional analytics and marketing cookies
With your permission we use Google Analytics 4 to count visits and learn which pages are useful. It only runs after you turn on analytics in cookie settings. Google signals and advertising features are switched off, and Google Analytics does not store full IP addresses.
| Name | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics: tells visits from different browsers apart, without identifying you. | 2 years |
_ga_MRQTW9QF58 | Google Analytics: keeps track of the current visit. | 2 years |
Google Analytics is provided by Google Ireland Limited and Google LLC, acting for us. If you turn analytics off later, these cookies are deleted on your next page view. We do not use marketing cookies. If we add them, they will only run after you agree, we will list each one here first, and they stay off when your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal.
6. Other companies
Our fonts and images are served from our own website, so no other company can set cookies when you visit. The only exception is Google Analytics, and only if you allow analytics cookies. If you click a link to another website, such as our social media pages, that website's own cookie policy applies.
7. How to control cookies
- Change your choices at any time with , also linked in the footer of every page.
- Your browser settings let you see and delete cookies, and block them. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will stop log in from working.
- To reset your display settings, use the accessibility button on any page or clear this site's data in your browser.
