COOKIE POLICY

Last updated: 28th July 2026

1. What Is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a web server when you visit a website. Cookies allow the website to recognize your device on return visits and remember information about your preferences and activity.

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as web beacons and session tokens to support platform functionality and understand how the Services are used. These technologies operate in the same way as cookies for the purposes of this Policy.

2. How Pitstop Uses Cookies

Pitstop uses cookies to:

  • Maintain your session as you navigate the platform
  • Remember your login state and account preferences
  • Understand how users interact with the platform so we can improve it
  • Monitor platform security and detect unauthorized activity
  • Measure how our LinkedIn advertising performs and show our ads to people who have already visited our site

We do not sell your personal data, and we use no advertising or tracking network other than the LinkedIn Insight Tag described below.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the platform to function. They enable core features such as authentication, session management, and security. The platform cannot operate properly without them. No consent is required to place essential cookies.

Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the platform, which pages are visited most frequently, and where errors occur. The data collected is aggregated and does not identify individual users. We use this information to improve platform performance and user experience.

Advertising Cookies

We run the LinkedIn Insight Tag on our website. It lets us see how many visitors arrive from our LinkedIn campaigns, record when a visitor completes an action such as requesting a demo, and show our ads on LinkedIn to people who have already visited our site. The cookies involved are set by LinkedIn as a third party, and LinkedIn can read them on other websites that run the same tag. The tag is active on our public website only.

The advertising cookies above are placed and controlled by LinkedIn, not by Pitstop, so the exact set can change. LinkedIn publishes the current list in its own cookie table.

Note: This list reflects cookies currently in use. It is updated when cookies are added, modified, or removed. If you have questions about a specific cookie not listed here, please contact us at support@takeapitstop.com.

6. Cookie Consent

When you first visit the Pitstop platform, you will be presented with a cookie consent notice. Essential cookies are placed without consent as they are strictly necessary for the Services to function. Analytics cookies are placed only with your consent. You may withdraw or update your cookie preferences at any time via the cookie settings link in the platform footer.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The updated Policy will be posted with a revised date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
