Users should also review our Privacy Policy: https://filipinocontractors.com/terms-of-use

FilipinoContractors.com uses two necessary cookies:

• XSRF-TOKEN - This cookie is written to help with site security in preventing Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks.
• Botble_session - This cookie is used to maintain a user session on the website, ensuring that user interactions are recognized during a session. It is essential for the functionality of the website, allowing seamless navigation and use of its features.

The XSRF-TOKEN cookies is obviously important because we want to protect our website and our Users, like you. The Botble_session cookie allows the User to login and stay logged in. (We use the Botble CMS as part of our tech stack.) Both cookies expire two hours after you initiate a session on our platform.

Some useful cookie information:

• Our cookies are essential. They are necessary for the website to function.
• Our cookies are persistent. They don’t expire as soon as you leave the website. They expire two hours after you first open our website in your browser.
• Our cookies are first-party cookies. They are session cookies that are only for our website. We don’t sell ads or use other third-party services, so we don’t have any third-party cookies. That means we are not tracking your usage to serve up ads. We don’t subscribe to services like Google Analytics to track our website statistics. However, we do need to know if you logged in as a contractor or a company because those are two very different roles on the site.
• If you need or want to turn off the cookies on our site, the site won’t work as intended, but that is your call. You can either reject the cookies or, if you already accepted the cookies, open your browser’s cookie settings and turn off the cookies from FilipinoContractors.com.
• If you have any questions or concerns about our cookies, please fill out the contact form on the website: https://filipinocontractors.com/contact. We will reply within five business days. If you prefer to send your questions or comments via paper mail, our address is:

• We have a cookie policy to be transparent about our data collection and use. A cookie policy also keeps us compliant with the Philippines PDPA (aka The Republic Act 10173), California’s Consumer Privacy Act, Europe’s GDPR, Brazil’s LGPD, South Africa’s POPIA, and other less restrictive privacy laws. Although our website is intended to be used by Filipino Contractors and Companies/Individuals in the United States of America, it is possible that people from other countries might find and browse our site. Best to be compliant with their laws…
• Our platform is intended to be used by people who are 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly allow cookie approval or data collection from anyone who is not at least 18 years old. If you are the parent or legal guardian of a User that is not yet 18 years old, please contact us immediately so that we may remove their information from our platform.

We are just as disappointed as you are that these cookies are not warm, homemade treats that should be served with a glass of cold milk (or the beverage of your choosing). We are also disappointed that when we meet with tech-minded folks, no one asks us what our favorite type of cookie is. (And, when did people stop asking which dinosaur is our favorite?)
