Cookie Policy

Last Updated: January 26, 2026

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit our website. They help us understand how you use KidPickUp and allow us to improve your experience.

2. How We Use Cookies

KidPickUp uses cookies for the following purposes:

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for our website to function correctly. They enable core functionality such as security, authentication, and session management. You cannot opt out of these cookies.

  • Authentication: Keeps you logged in during your session
  • Security: Protects against cross-site request forgery (CSRF)
  • Session management: Remembers your preferences within a session

Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website. This information helps us improve our services. These cookies collect data in an aggregated, anonymous form.

  • Pages you visit and time spent on each page
  • How you arrived at our website (referral source)
  • General geographic region (country/city level only)
  • Device type and browser information

Preference Cookies

These cookies remember choices you make to improve your experience, such as your preferred language or display settings.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services we use:

  • Payments: Subscriptions are purchased through the Apple App Store or Google Play in the Kid Pickup app, so no payment cookies are set on this website. Historically our web payment processor (Stripe) used cookies to prevent fraud and ensure secure transactions. See Stripe's Cookie Policy.

4. Cookie Duration

Cookies we use fall into two categories based on how long they persist:

  • Session cookies: Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. Used primarily for authentication and security.
  • Persistent cookies: Remain on your device for a set period (up to 12 months) or until you delete them. Used for preferences and analytics.

5. Managing Cookies

You can control and manage cookies in several ways:

Browser Settings

Most browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies through their settings. Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of our website.

Opt-Out of Analytics

If you prefer not to be tracked by analytics, you can use browser extensions such as the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

6. The KidPickUp Mobile App

Our mobile app does not use browser cookies. Instead, we use secure, encrypted local storage on your device to maintain your login session and store preferences. This data is only accessible to the KidPickUp app and is protected by your device's security features.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our practices. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you through our app or by email. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page shows when the policy was most recently revised.
