Cookie policy
Last updated 12 Nov 2026
Cookies are small files a website saves in your browser. Trade-Link-UK only uses the cookies and browser storage it needs to work. We don't use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies, so there is nothing to opt in or out of.
What we use
| Name | Type | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
sb-…-auth-token | Cookie, strictly necessary | Keeps you logged in and lets the site check who you are on each page. It may be split into parts ending .0, .1 | Until you log out, or up to 400 days |
tl-assistant:… | Session storage in your browser | Remembers your help assistant chat while the tab is open | Until you close the tab |
tl-job-draft:… | Session storage in your browser | Holds a job post the help assistant drafted for you until you open it in the job form | Until you close the tab |
tl-contract-terms-later, tl-bank-details-later | Session storage in your browser | Remembers that you chose "later" on a reminder, so it doesn't keep popping up | Until you close the tab |
tl-cookie-notice | Local storage in your browser | Remembers that you've seen the cookie notice, so it isn't shown again | Until you clear your browser data |
tl-static-… | App cache in your browser | Keeps the site's icons and an offline page so the app opens quickly and works when you lose signal. It holds no personal information | Until the next site update |
Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), storage that is strictly necessary for a service you ask for doesn't need your consent, so we tell you about it rather than asking. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but you won't be able to log in without the login cookie.
Other services
The site loads its fonts from Google Fonts, and the map loads its map images from OpenStreetMap. Both receive your IP address, as any website you load from does, but neither sets cookies through our site.
When you pay an invoice, set up payouts or take out a plan, you go to Stripe's own pages, which use their own cookies under Stripe's cookie policy. See section 7 of our privacy policy for the services that handle your information.
Changes
If we ever add analytics or other optional cookies, we'll update this page and ask for your consent with a clear choice to accept or refuse before setting them. Refusing will be as easy as accepting, and you'll be able to change your mind at any time.
