Real examples
This policy reflects actual browser-storage examples in the product, including _session, XSRF-TOKEN, and platform preference keys.
03
Preference memory
HandyPro remembers settings such as theme mode, admin sidebar state, and some map-style preferences so repeat visits feel consistent.
04

Section 01
1. What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files that websites and applications place in your browser or device to remember information between requests or visits. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, browser tokens, and other client-side data stores that help a service function reliably.
In this Cookie Policy, we use the term “cookies” broadly to include those related browser technologies unless a section specifically distinguishes between them.
This policy applies to HandyPro public pages, customer flows, provider tools, business dashboards, administrative screens, and support experiences that rely on browser-side storage to work properly.
Section 02
2. Essential cookies and security storage HandyPro uses
Session continuity
HandyPro uses a first-party session cookie whose name typically ends in _session. It helps maintain authenticated sessions, preserves secure navigation between requests, and supports account continuity across protected pages.
Request protection
HandyPro uses an XSRF-TOKEN style cookie to help verify that form submissions and authenticated actions are genuine and to protect against cross-site request forgery.
Admin navigation state
The first-party cookie admin_sidebar_collapsed stores whether the main admin navigation is collapsed so dashboard usage remains consistent between page loads.
Settings navigation state
The first-party cookie admin_settings_sidebar_collapsed stores whether the admin settings sidebar is collapsed inside settings and management flows.
These storage items are essential to authentication, session security, or core interface behavior. If they are blocked or removed, some parts of HandyPro may stop working correctly, may sign you out unexpectedly, or may fail to submit forms safely.
Section 03
3. Local storage and preference technologies we use
Theme preference
The local-storage key handypro-theme remembers whether you selected light mode or dark mode so the visual theme remains stable across visits.
Admin layout preferences
The local-storage keys adminSidebarCollapsed and adminSettingsSidebarCollapsed remember expanded and collapsed states for internal dashboard navigation patterns.
Map display preferences
The local-storage keys regions-map-theme and region-details-map-theme remember preferred map styles for admin region-management screens.
Why preference storage exists
These settings improve continuity and reduce repetitive setup. They are used to restore the interface you chose rather than to decide pricing, eligibility, or enforcement outcomes.
Section 04
4. Third-party infrastructure and technical requests
Some HandyPro pages may request technical resources from trusted infrastructure providers, such as hosting, content delivery, fonts, mapping layers, or other operational services. When those requests happen, the provider may receive standard technical request data such as IP address, browser type, device information, and the page making the request so the asset can be delivered.
We do not describe these technical requests as permission for unrelated advertising or data resale. If HandyPro later enables optional analytics, marketing cookies, or similar non-essential tracking where consent is required, we will update this policy and the relevant consent controls.
Operational purpose
Infrastructure requests support rendering, security, content delivery, and normal product functionality.
Consent changes
If the nature of browser tracking changes materially, HandyPro should update both this page and any user-facing consent experience.
Section 05
5. How long cookies and stored preferences last
Session cookies generally last until you log out, the session expires, or the browser session ends, depending on the relevant security controls and device behavior. Preference cookies and local-storage entries may remain longer so your interface settings continue across future visits.
Retention can also change based on browser settings, manual deletion, platform configuration updates, session rotation, security events, or other steps we take to protect accounts and platform integrity.
Section 06
6. Your choices and browser controls
Browser and device controls
You can usually manage cookies through browser settings, privacy tools, or device controls. You can also clear local storage and related site data manually.
What may break
If you block essential cookies or erase preference keys, you may be signed out, lose saved theme or layout choices, or experience broken forms, payment steps, and dashboard actions.
Some security controls cannot function correctly without essential storage. For that reason, disabling all browser storage may reduce security and limit parts of the HandyPro experience.
Section 07
