Cookie Policy
Last updated: 1 January 2026
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit, such as your login state or preferences.
2. How ServiceLink Uses Cookies & Storage
ServiceLink is a Progressive Web App (PWA) that relies primarily on browser storage mechanisms rather than traditional cookies. Here is what we use and why:
localStorage — User Session
When you log in, your user profile is stored in your browser's localStorage under the key user. This keeps you logged in across page visits without requiring a server-side session. This data is never sent to third parties and is cleared when you log out.
Category: Essential — cannot be disabled
sessionStorage — Form & Navigation State
Temporary data such as the service listing form draft (formDetails) and the currently selected service (selectedServiceId) are stored in sessionStorage. This data is automatically cleared when you close the browser tab.
Category: Essential — cannot be disabled
localStorage — Lead Modal Preference
If you have seen the “List your business” popup, we store a flag (sl_lead_modal_seen) so it is not shown again on future visits.
Category: Functional
Google Sign-In
If you use “Sign in with Google”, Google may set its own cookies as part of the authentication flow. These are governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
Category: Third-party
Stripe
When you visit a Stripe-hosted payment page, Stripe may set cookies for fraud prevention and session management. These are governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy.
Category: Third-party
3. What We Do Not Use
- We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.
- We do not use analytics cookies (e.g. Google Analytics).
- We do not sell or share cookie data with third parties for marketing purposes.
4. Managing Storage & Cookies
You can clear localStorage and sessionStorage at any time through your browser's developer tools or privacy settings. Note that clearing localStorage will log you out of ServiceLink.
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Essential storage is required for the Platform to function correctly.
