What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help sites remember preferences, keep you signed in, and understand how features are used. We may also use similar technologies such as local storage.
Essential cookies
These cookies are required for core functionality — such as security, load balancing, and basic site operation. The service may not work correctly without them.
Authentication and session cookies
When you sign in, we use session cookies or tokens stored in your browser to keep you authenticated as you navigate the app. These expire when you log out or after a period of inactivity.
Preference cookies
Preference cookies remember choices such as UI settings, dismissed banners, or selected plan views so your experience stays consistent across visits.
Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors and users interact with Freelance OS — which pages are visited, where errors occur, and how features perform. Specific analytics providers depend on what is configured for your deployment.
Third-party cookies
Third parties may set cookies when you use integrated services, such as:
- Payment checkout flows (Paystack, PayPal, Creem, Polar, Cryptomus, etc.)
- Google OAuth sign-in
- Embedded content or analytics tools when enabled
These providers have their own cookie policies. See our Subprocessors page for categories of vendors we may use.
How to manage cookies
You can control cookies in several ways:
- Adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies
- Use private or incognito browsing modes
- Sign out to clear session-related cookies
- Disable third-party cookies in browser privacy settings
Blocking essential or authentication cookies may prevent you from signing in or using key features.
