Cookie & Tracking Policy
This page lists the cookies and browser storage AestheticBid actually uses. We reviewed the application to produce it and it contains no hypothetical entries.
AestheticBid uses no advertising cookies, no analytics or measurement scripts, no social media pixels, no session-recording tools and no cross-site tracking. We do not sell or share browsing data.
Last updated 15 September 2026. This document describes how AestheticBid actually operates today. It is a working document prepared without professional legal review and does not constitute legal advice.
What is actually set
Cookies and browser storage in use
All first-party. Nothing below is used for advertising or profiling.
Authentication session
- Type
- First-party browser storage (and, when set by our authentication provider, a first-party cookie)
- Purpose
- Keeps a business owner signed in between page loads so the owner area and paid actions work. Set only after you sign in.
- Category
- Strictly necessary for a function you requested
- Duration
- Until you sign out or the session expires
Selected business
- Type
- First-party session storage
- Purpose
- Remembers which business you last selected in the owner area so the correct business is shown as you navigate.
- Category
- Strictly necessary for a function you requested
- Duration
- Cleared when you close the browser tab
Interface preference
- Type
- First-party cookie
- Purpose
- Stores whether a collapsible navigation panel is open, so the interface stays as you left it.
- Category
- Preference
- Duration
- Up to 7 days
Necessary versus optional
- The authentication session and the selected-business entry exist only to deliver functions you have explicitly asked for: signing in and managing a business. Without them the owner area cannot work.
- The interface preference is a convenience only, and losing it has no effect other than a panel reverting to its default state.
- Browsing the public ranking, profiles, search and comparison pages requires none of these.
Third-party payment pages
Card payments are handled by Stripe inside its own payment interface. Stripe may set its own cookies or storage for payment functionality and fraud prevention, governed by Stripe’s own policies rather than this one. Stripe technologies are only involved when you start a payment.
Consent status
Not yet finalised
Whether consent is legally required for any of the items listed above, and for which audiences, has not yet been assessed by a lawyer. We are not stating that consent is or is not required, and we are not implementing a consent mechanism on that basis in this version. This will be revisited before any analytics or tracking technology is introduced.Controlling storage and contact
You can delete cookies and site storage in your browser settings at any time, or block them entirely. Doing so signs you out of any owner session and may prevent the owner area from working. For related information see the Privacy Policy.
