Cookie policy

Last updated: 22 October 2026

This policy explains which cookies and similar technologies (local storage, session storage) kissmyskills.com and our apps use, and how you control them. The controller is Dzmitry Pliachko KREAL (KissMySkills); see our Privacy policy.

Your choice

When you first visit, our banner lets you Accept all, Reject all or choose categories under Preferences. "Reject all" is as easy as "Accept all". Only strictly necessary cookies are set before you choose. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time with Cookie preferences in the footer; withdrawing does not affect processing before it. Your choice is stored in your browser for 6 months; after that, or when this list changes materially, we ask again.

We use Google Consent Mode: until you accept analytics, Google tags on our website store no cookies.

Advertising (only with your consent)

We currently use no advertising cookies or pixels. If we add any, they will be listed here and set only after you accept the "Marketing" category.

Local and session storage

The Receptionist chat widget keeps the conversation only in your browser tab's session storage and sets no cookies. Some tools keep your drafts in your browser's local storage; they never leave your device unless you submit them.

Third-party pages

Checkout and the customer portal run on Stripe's own pages (checkout.stripe.com, billing.stripe.com). Stripe sets its own cookies there, for example for fraud prevention, under the Stripe Cookie Policy.
