Cookie Policy

Last updated: April 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how SolidQuote ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website and application at solidquote.co.uk. We comply with the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK GDPR.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to site owners. Similar technologies include localStorage and sessionStorage, which store data locally in your browser.

2. How We Use Cookies and Local Storage

SolidQuote uses a minimal set of cookies and local storage — only what is strictly necessary to operate the application. We do not use any advertising, tracking, or analytics cookies.

Name	Type	Purpose	Duration
`sq_token`	localStorage	Keeps you signed in to your account. Contains an authentication token — not your password.	Until you sign out
`sq_user`	localStorage	Stores your username for display in the app interface.	Until you sign out
`sq_company`	localStorage	Stores your company name, role, and invite code for the app interface.	Until you sign out
`sq_bio_cred`	localStorage	Stores a biometric credential identifier if you enable fingerprint/face login. Does not contain biometric data itself.	Until you disable biometric login or sign out

3. Third-Party Cookies

When you interact with our payment system, Stripe may set cookies for fraud prevention and payment processing purposes. These cookies are governed by Stripe's Cookie Policy.

We do not use any third-party analytics, advertising, or social media cookies.

4. Strictly Necessary Classification

All cookies and local storage items used by SolidQuote are classified as strictly necessary under PECR. They are essential for the application to function (authentication, session management). As strictly necessary cookies, they do not require consent under UK regulations. However, we believe in full transparency, which is why we detail them here.

5. Managing Cookies

Since we only use strictly necessary storage, disabling it would prevent the application from functioning. However, you can manage cookies and local storage through your browser settings:

Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

You can also clear all SolidQuote data by signing out of the application, which removes all locally stored items.

6. Changes to This Policy

If we introduce new cookies or change how we use existing ones, we will update this policy and note the date of change. If we ever introduce non-essential cookies, we will implement a consent mechanism before setting them.
