Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit. They help the site remember your actions and preferences (such as login details, language, and display settings) over a period of time, so you don’t have to re-enter them whenever you return to the site or browse from one page to another.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (“first-party cookies”) or by other websites that run content on the page you are viewing (“third-party cookies”). They can be session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

Types of Cookies We Use

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, services like secure login, invoice creation, and payment processing would not work.

Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.

If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

We use targeting cookies to measure the effectiveness of our campaigns aimed at freelancers who work with international clients. For example, we may use cookies to show you information about our payment methods or contract templates after you have visited relevant pages on our site.
