Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 2026
1. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. SideKick uses cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage) to operate, secure, and improve the Platform. This policy explains the types we use and your choices.
2. Essential cookies
These cookies are necessary for the Platform to function. They keep you logged in, maintain your session, remember your role and preferences, and help protect against misuse. You cannot use key features such as account access or checkout without these cookies.
3. Analytics & performance cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Platform, such as which pages are viewed, which services and projects attract bids, and where users encounter issues. We use this information to improve performance and features. Analytics data is generally aggregated and does not identify you personally.
4. Functionality & preference cookies
These cookies remember choices you make, such as selected filters or categories, to make your experience more efficient. They are not essential, and the Platform will still work without them, though some convenience features may be unavailable.
5. Third-party cookies
Some features rely on third-party services, such as our payment processor (Stripe) for secure checkout. These providers may set their own cookies to operate their services. We do not control third-party cookies; their use is governed by the relevant provider's privacy policy.
6. Managing & deleting cookies
You can control, block, or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers offer help pages explaining how to do this. Disabling essential cookies will affect Platform functionality, such as logging in and completing bookings. Note that changes to cookie settings on one device or browser do not automatically apply to others.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as the Platform evolves. Changes are effective when posted, with the updated date shown above.
