Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember information, maintain sessions, improve functionality, understand how visitors use the website, and, where applicable, support advertising and analytics.

Some cookies are essential for the website to function, while others may be used for analytics, preferences, advertising, or embedded third-party services.

To keep registered users signed in and maintain secure sessions. - User preferences:
To remember certain settings or preferences where applicable. - Security:
To help protect accounts, forms, and website functionality from unauthorized activity and abuse. - Performance and analytics:
Where analytics services are enabled, cookies may help us understand how visitors use TaskHike and improve the website. - Advertising:
If advertising services are enabled on TaskHike, advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to measure, personalize, or deliver advertisements. - Third-party content:
Embedded content such as videos, social media content, or other third-party services may set their own cookies.
3. Types of Cookies We May Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for important parts of TaskHike to work. They may be used for authentication, security, session management, and other essential website functions.
For example, because TaskHike provides user accounts, cookies may be used to remember that an authenticated user has logged in.
Disabling essential cookies may prevent certain parts of TaskHike, including account-related features, from functioning correctly.
3.2 Functionality Cookies
These cookies may be used to remember preferences or settings and provide a more convenient experience when you return to TaskHike.
3.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies
If TaskHike uses an analytics service, that service may place cookies or use similar technologies to collect information such as pages visited, approximate usage patterns, browser information, and interactions with the website.
Analytics information may be used to understand website performance, identify problems, and improve TaskHike.
TaskHike will update this policy if the analytics services used on the website change.
3.4 Advertising Cookies
If TaskHike displays advertisements through third-party advertising networks, those providers may use cookies, advertising identifiers, or similar technologies to provide, measure, and personalize advertisements.
Advertising providers may process information according to their own privacy and cookie policies.
3.5 Third-Party and Embedded Content
TaskHike may contain content or services provided by third parties, such as YouTube videos, social media features, analytics tools, advertising services, or other external services.
These third parties may use their own cookies or similar technologies. TaskHike does not control cookies that are independently placed by third-party services.
4. WordPress Cookies
TaskHike is built using WordPress. WordPress may use cookies for authentication, login sessions, security, preferences, and other functionality.
For example, WordPress uses authentication-related cookies to identify logged-in users and maintain their login sessions.
The exact cookies used may depend on the WordPress features, plugins, theme functionality, and services enabled on TaskHike.
5. Account and Login Cookies
If you create a TaskHike account or log in to your account, cookies may be used to maintain your authenticated session.
These cookies allow TaskHike to recognize that you are logged in while you navigate between pages and use account features such as your dashboard, tasks, submissions, notifications, and profile.
6. How Long Do Cookies Remain?
Cookies may be either session cookies or persistent cookies.
- Session cookies generally expire when you close your browser or when the relevant session ends.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until they are deleted.
The actual duration depends on the cookie, the service that sets it, and the configuration of TaskHike and any third-party services.
7. Cookies and Personal Information
Some cookies may contain or be associated with information that can be linked to a particular user or device. Other cookies may contain technical identifiers or information that does not directly identify you.
Where cookies are associated with personal information, that information will be handled according to our Privacy Policy.
8. Managing Cookies
Most modern web browsers allow you to view, block, delete, or manage cookies through their settings.
You can generally configure your browser to reject certain cookies or notify you when cookies are being placed on your device.
However, disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of TaskHike. For example, account login and other authenticated features may not work correctly without the required cookies.
9. Third-Party Cookie Controls
If TaskHike uses third-party analytics, advertising, social media, video, or other services, those services may provide their own controls for managing cookies and personalized advertising.
You should review the privacy and cookie policies of those providers for information about their practices and available controls.
10. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers provide a “Do Not Track” setting or similar privacy signals. Because there is no single universal technical standard for interpreting all such signals, TaskHike may not respond to every browser-based Do Not Track signal.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website, cookies, technologies, services, or legal and regulatory requirements.
When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date shown at the beginning of this page.
