How 12Hit.com uses cookies

Being rewarded for referrals is one of the great advances that internet commerce has enabled and we believe is far preferable to forcing people to pay for services.

- As well as using cookies for reward purposes, our web site also uses essential and non-essential cookies to remember your preferences, improve your experience on our site and analyse how you use it (full details below).
