1. What cookies and browser storage are
Cookies are small text files a website places in your browser. Browser storage (localStorage) works in a similar way and keeps small amounts of data on your device.
2. What this site uses
123 Tenders itself sets no advertising, analytics or tracking cookies. It uses the browser storage items below. Most are essential or remember a choice you made. 123t_first_touch records only how you first arrived. It is used only to understand which channels bring visitors so we can improve the service, is never shared with anyone else, holds no identifier and is saved to your account only if you sign up. You can object at any time with "Don't record how I arrived" in the table below. You can clear any of them in your browser settings.
