Cookie Policy
Effective Date: April 9, 2026 · Last Updated: April 9, 2026
This Cookie Policy (“Policy”) explains how BuildWorkPro LLC (“BuildWorkPro,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar client-side storage technologies on the BuildWorkPro platform and marketing website (collectively, the “Platform”). This Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) by a website when you visit it. Cookies enable the website to recognize your device, maintain session state, and store your preferences. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, function more efficiently, and provide information to site operators.
In addition to traditional cookies, this Policy also covers the use of browser local storage (localStorage) and session storage (sessionStorage), which serve similar purposes but have different technical characteristics.
2. Cookies We Use
BuildWorkPro employs a minimal, privacy-respecting approach to cookies. We categorize our cookies as follows:
2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Platform to function and cannot be disabled without rendering core features inoperable. Under applicable privacy laws, including the EU ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC as amended) and the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), no consent is required for strictly necessary cookies.
| Cookie / Storage | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
connect.sid | Session authentication — maintains your logged-in state as you navigate the Platform. Contains a cryptographically signed session identifier; does not contain your password or personal data in plaintext. | Expires after 24 hours of inactivity or 30 days maximum. |
| CSRF token | Cross-site request forgery protection — ensures that form submissions and API requests originate from the BuildWorkPro application and not from a malicious third-party site. | Per session. |
| Tenant context | Identifies the organization you are currently operating within in our multi-tenant environment, ensuring that data requests are scoped to your organization. | Per session. |
2.2 Functional / Preference Cookies
These cookies and local storage entries remember your settings and interface choices to provide a more consistent user experience. They are set under the lawful basis of legitimate interest and do not track you across other websites.
| Cookie / Storage | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Theme preference | Stores your light or dark mode selection. | Persistent (localStorage). |
| Language / locale | Stores your preferred language and date/number format settings. | Persistent (localStorage). |
| UI state | Remembers interface preferences such as sidebar collapsed/expanded state, table column visibility, and sort order. | Persistent (localStorage). |
bwp-cookies-accepted | Records that you have acknowledged the cookie consent banner on the marketing site. | Persistent (localStorage). |
2.3 Cookies We Do Not Use
BuildWorkPro is committed to a minimal data collection approach. We do not deploy and have never deployed any of the following:
- Analytics or performance cookies: We do not use Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Hotjar, Heap, Amplitude, or any similar third-party analytics or session recording tool.
- Advertising or retargeting cookies: We do not run advertisements on the Platform and do not use advertising pixels, retargeting tags, or conversion tracking cookies from any advertising network (e.g., Google Ads, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag).
- Social media cookies: We do not embed social media widgets, share buttons, or login plugins that set third-party tracking cookies.
- Cross-site tracking cookies: We do not engage in cross-site tracking of any kind. No third-party cookie on the Platform tracks your activity across other websites.
3. Third-Party Cookies
The BuildWorkPro marketing site loads typefaces from Google Fonts via a preconnect directive. When your browser requests font files from Google’s servers, Google may receive your IP address and set cookies in accordance with its own privacy practices. For details, see Google’s Privacy Policy.
No other third-party services deployed on the Platform set cookies in your browser. We do not use advertising networks, social media embeds, or third-party analytics services.
4. Legal Basis for Cookie Use
Our use of cookies is grounded in the following legal bases:
- Strictly necessary cookies (Section 2.1): Exempt from consent requirements under the EU ePrivacy Directive, UK PECR, and analogous legislation, as they are essential for the provision of the service you have explicitly requested.
- Functional cookies (Section 2.2): Set under the lawful basis of legitimate interest (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)), as they serve the purpose of improving your user experience without processing data in a manner that overrides your fundamental rights. You may disable these by clearing your browser’s local storage at any time.
5. How to Manage Cookies
You may view, manage, and delete cookies through your browser’s privacy or security settings. Most modern browsers offer the following controls:
- View and delete individual cookies and local storage entries;
- Block all cookies or cookies from specific domains;
- Distinguish between first-party and third-party cookies;
- Automatically clear cookies and site data when you close the browser.
Important: Disabling strictly necessary cookies (Section 2.1) will prevent you from authenticating and using the BuildWorkPro application. Clearing functional cookies (Section 2.2) will reset your preferences to defaults but will not affect your ability to log in.
