Last Updated: 7-1-2025

This Cookie Policy explains how bidbld ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website, access our services, or interact with our platform (“Platform”). This policy explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and the choices you have. For more information on how we use, store, and protect personal data, please see our Privacy Policy.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your computer or device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to help websites function efficiently, provide analytical information, personalize user experience, and support marketing efforts.

Cookies set by bidbld are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by third parties—such as analytics services, ad networks, and integration partners—are called “third-party cookies.” These third parties can recognize your device both when it visits our website and other websites or services.

We may also use technologies similar to cookies, including web beacons, pixels, local storage, and SDKs. For the purpose of this policy, we refer to all of these technologies collectively as “cookies.”

Why do we use cookies?

We use both first-party and third-party cookies for various purposes:

How Long Do Cookies Stay on My Device?

The lifespan of a cookie depends on whether it is a "session" or "persistent" cookie. Session cookies expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until deleted. We use both types to improve functionality and analytics.

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary to provide you with services and features you request. They include, for example:

  • Logging you into your account securely
  • Enabling core software functionality (such as saving estimates or creating project bids)
  • Keeping track of items in your cart
  • Remembering user preferences like layout or interface settings
  • Maintaining platform stability and security

Disabling these cookies may prevent you from accessing certain parts of our Platform or impair functionality.

Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how users interact with our Platform. They help us:

  • Understand usage patterns
  • Measure the effectiveness of features and user flows
  • Improve user experience and optimize performance

We may use services like Google Analytics or similar tools to analyze how our platform is used.

Functional Cookies

These enhance the functionality of our Platform by remembering your preferences or settings, such as:

  • Language or region selection
  • Persisting user interface customizations
  • Auto-filling forms with saved information

Targeting and Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to make advertising more relevant to you. They perform functions such as:

  • Tracking user behavior across sites and devices
  • Limiting the number of times you see an ad
  • Ensuring ads are properly displayed
  • Delivering personalized marketing content

We and our advertising partners may use this information to deliver more relevant ads on other platforms and to measure campaign performance. Some anonymized or aggregated data collected through cookies may be shared with our service providers or marketing partners to help optimize campaign performance or enhance our service delivery.

Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit our Platform, you may be presented with a banner requesting your consent to the use of cookies. You can manage your cookie preferences through this banner or within your account settings at any time. If you decline certain categories of cookies, some features of the Platform may not function properly.

How can I control cookies?

Browser Settings

Most browsers let you change your cookie settings. These settings are usually found in the “Options” or “Preferences” menu of your browser. You can choose to:

  • Block all cookies
  • Allow only first-party cookies
  • Delete cookies when you close your browser
  • Clear all existing cookies

Please note that disabling cookies may impact your experience and functionality of our Platform.

Opt-outs are browser- and device-specific. If you clear your cookies or use a different browser/device, you’ll need to opt out again.

We may use third-party tools or Software Development Kits (SDKs) embedded in our platform or mobile application to provide enhanced functionality or analytics. These tools may collect data such as your device information, session activity, and usage metrics. For example, we may use tools like Stripe for payments, HubSpot for CRM integration, or Intercom for customer support.

Mobile Devices

To limit tracking on your mobile device, check your operating system settings for options like “Limit Ad Tracking” (iOS) or “Opt out of Ads Personalization” (Android). You may also install the AppChoices app.

Mobile App Tracking

In addition to browser-based cookies, our mobile application may use local storage, device identifiers, or SDKs to enhance app performance and user analytics. You may control mobile tracking through your device settings or by uninstalling the app.
