Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences, keep you signed in, and understand how the site is used. Soana uses cookies and similar technologies to provide, secure, and improve our freelance marketplace and related services.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly necessary cookies — Required for the website to function (e.g. authentication, security, load balancing). You cannot turn these off without affecting how the site works.

Functional cookies — Remember your choices (e.g. language, role preference) and improve your experience.

Analytics and performance cookies — Help us understand how visitors use our site (e.g. pages visited, errors). We may use services such as Google Analytics or similar tools that set these cookies.

Marketing cookies — Used to deliver relevant ads or measure ad effectiveness. We may use these only if you have given consent where required by law.

3. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to keep you logged in, remember your settings, protect against abuse, and analyze site traffic. This helps us run the platform reliably and improve it for clients and freelancers. We do not use cookies to track you across unrelated third-party sites for advertising unless you have consented and it is permitted in your jurisdiction.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party services we use, such as analytics providers (e.g. Google Tag Manager, Yandex Metrika) or embedded content. These parties have their own privacy and cookie policies. We recommend reviewing their policies to understand how they use data.

5. Managing Cookies

You can control many cookies through your browser settings. You can block or delete cookies; note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent you from using parts of the site. Where we use non-essential cookies that require consent, you can manage your preferences via our cookie consent banner or settings. For more on how we use your data, see our Privacy Policy.

6. Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in the law. The "Last updated" date at the top will be revised when we make changes. We encourage you to check this page periodically.
