Cookie Policy
Last updated: 11 November 2026
Bidkoo, operated by Tankar Solutions Private Limited, does not use advertising cookies or analytics cookies. It sets one strictly necessary cookie, an HttpOnly sign-in cookie set by our API. Everything else it needs is kept in your browser's local storage and session storage, which are similar to cookies but are never sent to our servers automatically. This page lists all of it.

All of this is essential to the features you use, so there is nothing to opt into or out of.
Third-Party Services
- Razorpay processes payments. When you open the checkout, Razorpay's own checkout may set cookies it needs to process the payment and prevent fraud. These are governed by Razorpay's privacy policy.
- OpenStreetMap serves the background map of the KML and KMZ viewer, one of our free tools. While that background is switched on, your browser requests map pictures from OpenStreetMap's servers, which receive your IP address and the area you are looking at. It sets no cookies on this website, and the file you open is not sent to it.
Managing This Data
Signing out removes your sign-in tokens and account details from the browser. You can remove everything else by clearing this site's data in your browser's settings; you will then need to sign in again, and your display preferences will reset.
Changes to This Policy
If we start using cookies or browser storage for anything else, such as analytics, we will update this page before we do. For how we handle your personal data more broadly, see our Privacy Policy.
