Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit our website. They help us recognize your browser and capture certain information about your preferences and usage patterns. Local storage and session storage are similar technologies that store data in your browser to enhance functionality.

We also use pixels, beacons, and tags to collect information about how you interact with our platform. These technologies help us understand which features are most useful, track user journeys, and identify technical issues that may affect your experience.

Some cookies are essential for basic platform functionality, while others help us provide personalized experiences, remember your preferences, and improve our services. We classify our cookies based on their purpose and duration to help you understand their role.

Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the platform to function and cannot be switched off. They include authentication tokens to keep you logged in, session identifiers to maintain your state across pages, and security tokens to protect against unauthorized access. Without these cookies, core features like proposal editing and tender management would not work.

Functional Cookies: These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your language preferences, search filters, and dashboard layout customizations. They help us provide a more tailored experience by storing your settings and preferences between sessions.

Analytics Cookies: We use these cookies to collect aggregated information about how visitors use our platform, including page views, feature usage, and performance metrics. This data helps us identify popular features, optimize user flows, and detect technical issues that need improvement.

Performance Cookies: These cookies help us monitor and improve platform performance by tracking loading times, error rates, and system responsiveness. They enable us to identify bottlenecks and optimize the user experience across different devices and browsers.

We use cookies to maintain your login session and ensure secure access to your account and organization data. Session cookies keep you authenticated as you navigate between pages and features, while persistent cookies remember your login status for future visits if you choose to stay logged in.

Cookies help us personalize your experience by remembering your tender search preferences, AI generation settings, and dashboard configurations. This allows us to show you the most relevant tenders and maintain your preferred workflow settings across sessions.

We analyze cookie data to understand user behavior patterns, identify popular features, and detect usability issues. This information guides our product development decisions and helps us prioritize improvements that benefit our users most.

Some cookies support our AI-powered features by tracking which tender analyses and proposal outlines are most helpful, enabling us to improve our algorithms and provide better recommendations over time.

We work with trusted third-party service providers who may place cookies on your device to help us deliver our services. These include cloud hosting providers for infrastructure services, AI providers like OpenAI for proposal generation, and analytics services for platform monitoring.

Authentication services may use cookies to facilitate secure login processes, including single sign-on integrations and multi-factor authentication. These cookies are essential for maintaining the security and integrity of your account access.

Error monitoring and performance tracking services use cookies to help us identify and resolve technical issues quickly. These services collect anonymized data about platform performance and user interactions to improve reliability and user experience.

All third-party cookie usage is governed by contracts that require these providers to protect your privacy and use data only for specified purposes. We regularly review our third-party integrations to ensure they meet our privacy and security standards.

Session Cookies: These temporary cookies are deleted when you close your browser or end your session. They include authentication tokens, temporary preferences, and workflow state information needed only during your current visit to the platform.

Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them manually. They include login preferences (if you choose "remember me"), dashboard customizations, and settings that enhance your experience across multiple visits.

Most of our functional cookies expire after 30-90 days, while essential security cookies may last up to one year to maintain account security. Analytics cookies typically expire after 2 years, providing long-term insights into platform usage trends.

You can view and manage cookie duration through your browser settings, where you can see which cookies are stored and set preferences for automatic deletion. We also provide options within your account settings to control certain cookie preferences.

You can control cookies through your browser settings, where you can view, delete, and block cookies from specific websites. Most browsers allow you to set preferences for accepting or rejecting cookies, and some offer granular controls for different types of cookies.

Browser Controls: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge all provide cookie management tools in their privacy settings. You can clear existing cookies, block future cookies, or set exceptions for specific websites. Some browsers also offer private browsing modes that don't store cookies permanently.

Platform Settings: Within your Sunday Roast account, you can control certain cookie preferences related to analytics and performance tracking. While essential cookies cannot be disabled without affecting functionality, you can opt out of non-essential tracking through your privacy settings.

Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect your ability to use some features of our platform. Essential cookies are required for login, security, and basic functionality, so blocking them may prevent you from accessing your account or using core features.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our technology, legal requirements, or business practices. When we make significant changes, we will notify you through the platform and provide the updated policy with a new effective date.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies and similar technologies. Continued use of our platform after policy updates constitutes acceptance of the revised terms, though we will seek explicit consent for any material changes affecting your privacy choices.

For significant changes that affect your privacy rights or cookie preferences, we may require you to review and accept the updated policy before continuing to use the platform. This ensures you remain informed about our data practices and maintain control over your privacy settings.

If you have questions about our use of cookies, need help managing your cookie preferences, or want to report concerns about tracking technologies, please contact us through the support channels available in your Sunday Roast account.

Our privacy team can provide additional information about specific cookies, help you understand their purpose, and assist with privacy settings. We are committed to transparency about our data practices and will respond to cookie-related inquiries promptly.
