Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Kidlinka LLC uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use our website, mobile applications, software, and related services (the "Platform"). This Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. By using the Platform, you consent to the use of cookies and similar technologies as described in this Policy, except where applicable law requires additional consent.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website or use an online service. Cookies help websites recognize users, remember preferences, improve performance, enhance security, and provide a better user experience. Cookies may be stored temporarily during a browsing session or remain on a device for a longer period.

Kidlinka may use the following categories of cookies:

• Essential Cookies
• Authentication Cookies
• Security Cookies
• Functional Cookies
• Performance Cookies
• Analytics Cookies
• Advertising Cookies
• Social Media Cookies
• Preference Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the operation of the Platform and generally cannot be disabled without affecting service availability. They may be used to maintain user sessions, enable login functionality, process requests, prevent fraud, protect account security, operate Platform features, and complete transactions.

Authentication cookies help identify users and maintain login sessions. They may be used to keep users logged in, verify account ownership, protect accounts from unauthorized access, support multi-factor authentication, and manage account security.

Security cookies help protect users and the Platform by detecting suspicious activity, preventing fraud and account abuse, protecting payment transactions, identifying security threats, and supporting risk monitoring.

Functional cookies help remember user preferences, including language preferences, account settings, notification preferences, display preferences, and Platform customization settings.

Kidlinka may use analytics technologies to understand how users interact with the Platform. Analytics cookies may collect information regarding pages visited, time spent on pages, user interactions, feature usage, device and browser information, traffic sources, and general usage trends. This information helps improve Platform functionality and user experience.

Kidlinka may use advertising cookies to measure advertising effectiveness, deliver relevant advertisements, limit repeated advertisements, and understand campaign performance. Advertising partners may also use cookies according to their own privacy policies.

Kidlinka may integrate with third-party social media services, including Facebook, Instagram, Google, LinkedIn, and other platforms. These providers may place cookies or similar technologies on user devices when their services are used through the Platform.

Kidlinka may also use third-party service providers — such as Stripe, Clerk, Meta, Google, analytics providers, hosting providers, security providers, and customer support providers — that use cookies or similar technologies. Third-party services operate under their own privacy and cookie policies. Kidlinka does not control the cookie practices of independent payment or third-party providers.

Kidlinka may use cookie-related information to operate the Platform, improve user experience, enhance security, prevent fraud, analyze performance, improve services, maintain account functionality, support customer service, and improve marketing efforts.

Most browsers allow users to manage cookies — including deleting, blocking, or restricting cookies and configuring browser settings to receive cookie notifications. Disabling certain cookies may affect Platform functionality. Some browsers provide "Do Not Track" signals. Because there is currently no universally accepted standard for responding to such signals, Kidlinka may not respond to all Do Not Track requests.

Cookie information may be retained for varying periods depending on the purpose of the cookie, security needs, legal obligations, fraud prevention requirements, and operational requirements.

Users accessing the Platform from outside the United States acknowledge that information collected through cookies may be processed and stored in the United States or other locations where Kidlinka or its service providers operate. Kidlinka's services are intended for parents, guardians, childcare providers, and adults. Kidlinka does not knowingly use cookies to collect personal information directly from children without appropriate legal authorization.

Kidlinka may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Material changes may be communicated through the Platform, email, or other reasonable means. Continued use of the Platform after updates become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
