Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how ScopeDue may use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working, remember your choices, support account and approval-link security, and understand aggregate product usage when optional analytics are enabled.
Last reviewed: May 26, 2026 · Applies to ScopeDue public pages, account pages, and client-facing approval workflows where cookies or similar technologies are used.
Use this page when cookies or analytics are active
Publish this Cookie Policy when ScopeDue uses cookies, local storage, pixels, analytics scripts, or similar technologies. If optional analytics, product analytics, or third-party tools change, update this page before or at the same time those tools go live.
Plain-language summary
What this policy covers
Cookies are small files or browser-based technologies that help a site remember useful information. For ScopeDue, they may support things like staying signed in, keeping cookie preferences, protecting approval links, preventing abuse, and measuring aggregate site usage.
ScopeDue is a client change approval and payment proof workspace. Because freelancers may send client approval links, track payment status history, confirm receipt, or export a Proof Pack, cookie use should stay practical and limited to the product experience. This page does not create legal, tax, or accounting advice.
Cookie categories
Types of cookies ScopeDue may use
Actual cookie names, vendors, and retention periods should match the tools ScopeDue uses in production. The categories below explain the intended purpose of each cookie type without overstating any vendor-specific claim.
| Category | Purpose | Examples of use | Choice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential cookies | Keep the site and product workflows functioning safely. | Login sessions, CSRF protection, rate limiting, cookie preference storage, secure approval-link access, and basic form behavior. | Usually required for the service to work and not disabled through optional cookie settings. |
| Preference cookies | Remember choices that make ScopeDue easier to use. | Cookie settings, interface preferences, workspace display choices, or other non-sensitive convenience settings. | May be optional depending on the feature and browser settings. |
| Analytics cookies | Help ScopeDue understand aggregate usage and improve pages or workflows. | Page visits, CTA clicks, tool usage, template interactions, and high-level product funnel events, where analytics are enabled. | Optional where required or where ScopeDue offers an analytics opt-out. |
| Security and abuse-prevention technologies | Protect accounts, forms, approval links, uploads, and payment-status workflows. | Detect repeated failed actions, preserve session integrity, reduce spam, and support audit or access controls. | Often essential because they protect ScopeDue, freelancers, and clients. |
| Support or communication technologies | Support help, contact, onboarding, or product messaging if those tools are enabled. | Remember whether a help message was dismissed or support widget preferences. | May be optional depending on the tool and settings offered. |
ScopeDue context
Why cookies matter in an approval and payment proof workspace
Approval links
A client approval link should be simple for the client, but still careful about access, session continuity, and abuse prevention. Essential cookies or similar technologies may help support that experience.
Payment status history
When a client marked paid, uploaded proof, or asked a question, ScopeDue needs the workflow to stay consistent until the freelancer confirms received.
Proof Pack records
Cookies do not replace the product record. ScopeDue’s value is the clear record of approvals, payment events, handoff status, and Proof Pack timelines saved in the workspace.
Retention and access
How long cookies may stay on your device
Session cookies
Some cookies may last only while your browser session is active. These can help with login, forms, and secure browsing during a visit.
Persistent cookies
Some cookies may remain longer to remember cookie preferences, reduce repeated prompts, support security controls, or help measure aggregate usage over time.
Exact retention should be reviewed against the actual cookie inventory used in production. ScopeDue should keep optional cookie use aligned with the purpose described in this policy and the Privacy Policy.
Service providers
Third-party tools and similar technologies
ScopeDue may use service providers for hosting, security, analytics, support, file handling, email delivery, or product operations. If those services use cookies or similar technologies, their use should support the ScopeDue service and the categories described on this page.
No unsupported vendor claims
This policy does not list specific analytics, advertising, payment, or security vendors unless those vendors are actually used and reviewed. Add a vendor list only when the production cookie inventory is confirmed.
Private workflow safety
Public pages and private approval workflows are different
Public pages like this Cookie Policy, the Security page, and the Help Center may use cookies for site and preference purposes. Private workspace pages, client approval links, payment proof uploads, and generated Proof Packs should be treated as private or access-controlled product areas, not public SEO content.
- Client marked paid: a client may say payment was sent or upload proof, but the freelancer confirms payment received.
- Approved but unpaid: approval does not automatically mean the work is ready to start when payment is required first.
- Handoff locked: final handoff or source file release can depend on freelancer-confirmed payment.
- Proof Pack: a Proof Pack is a business record of approvals, payment events, and handoff decisions, not a legal guarantee.
Review your cookie and privacy choices before continuing
ScopeDue is built around clear records. Cookie choices should be clear too. Manage optional cookies where controls are available, then review the privacy, terms, disclaimer, and security pages for the full trust picture.
