Last updated: February 2026

Quick summary

KasPaws uses cookies and similar technologies to keep you logged in, process payments securely, and understand how the platform is used so we can improve it. Some cookies are set by third-party services we rely on (like Supabase for authentication and Stripe for payments).

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how KasPaws uses them, and what choices you have regarding their use. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work properly, improve performance, and provide information to site operators. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services that the website uses ("third-party cookies").

2. How KasPaws Uses Cookies

KasPaws uses cookies and similar technologies to operate the platform, maintain your session, remember your preferences, and improve your experience. Specifically, we may use cookies for the following purposes:

Essential Cookies. Necessary for the platform to function. They enable core features such as authentication, session management, and security protections. Without these cookies, services you have requested cannot be provided. These cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes.

Functional Cookies. Allow the platform to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, display preferences, or recently viewed sitter profiles, to provide a more personalized experience.

Performance and Analytics Cookies. Collect information about how visitors use the platform, such as which pages are visited most often and whether users encounter error messages. This information helps us improve how the platform works and does not identify you personally.

3. Third-Party Services

KasPaws may use third-party services that set their own cookies on your device. These services help us with authentication, payment processing, analytics, and security, and currently include:

  • Supabase — Authentication and session management
  • Stripe — Payment processing
  • Cloudflare — Security and bot protection (Turnstile)
  • Mapbox — Map rendering and location services

Each of these services has its own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review their policies for more information about how they handle data.

4. Local Storage and Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, KasPaws may use browser local storage and session storage to store preferences and temporary data on your device. These technologies work similarly to cookies but may store larger amounts of data, and are used for purposes such as maintaining your login session and storing UI preferences.

5. Your Choices

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically choose to block or delete cookies, or to be notified when a cookie is set. Please note that disabling essential cookies may prevent parts of the platform from functioning correctly.

To manage cookies, consult your browser’s help documentation (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, or Microsoft Edge). Each browser provides its own method for managing cookies.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
