Cookie Notice
Last Updated: August 7, 2026
CST Group Inc., doing business as Holy Estimate ("Holy Estimate," "we," "us," or "our"), provides this Cookie Notice to explain how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit holyestimate.com or use the Holy Estimate estimating software and related services (collectively, the "Services"). This Cookie Notice should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains more broadly how we collect, use, and protect your information. If this Cookie Notice conflicts with the Privacy Policy on the specific subject of cookies, this Cookie Notice controls.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They allow a site to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences and actions. We also use related technologies — including web beacons, pixels, local storage, and SDK-based tracking within our applications — which this notice refers to collectively as "cookies" unless stated otherwise.
2. Your Consent
By visiting holyestimate.com or using the Services, you acknowledge this Cookie Notice. We do not currently use analytics, advertising, or other non-essential cookies that require consent under applicable law. If that changes, we will update this notice and, where required by law, request your consent before placing such cookies.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies. Not every category will apply to every visitor, and the specific tools we use may change as the Services evolve.
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: required for core functionality, such as signing in, navigating between pages, maintaining a secure session, and load-balancing traffic. These cannot be switched off in our systems.
- Functional Cookies: remember choices you make, such as display settings, saved estimate templates, or login preferences, so the Services feel more personalized on your next visit.
- Performance and Analytics Cookies: we do not currently use cookies to track site usage or analyze visitor behavior. If we begin using an analytics tool in the future, we will update this notice to describe it.
- Advertising and Targeting Cookies: we do not currently use advertising or targeting cookies. If that changes, we will update this notice and, where required by law, obtain your consent first.
4. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by holyestimate.com to support login, preferences, and core site functionality.
Third-party cookies are set by service providers who help us operate the Services. We currently use Stripe to process subscription payments, which sets the cookies described in the table below. Our website and application are hosted on infrastructure provided by Vercel Inc.; Vercel's hosting infrastructure itself does not set tracking cookies in your browser. Each third party's use of cookies or similar technologies is governed by its own privacy policy, and we encourage you to review those policies.
| Cookie / Technology | Purpose | Provider | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id (example) | Maintains your login session and keeps the application secure | Holy Estimate (first-party) | Session (deleted when browser closes) |
| __stripe_mid | Fraud prevention and risk assessment for subscription payments | Stripe, Inc. | 1 year |
| __stripe_sid | Fraud prevention and risk assessment during a checkout session | Stripe, Inc. | 30 minutes |
5. Cookies Used Within the Software Application
When you log in to and use the Holy Estimate application (as opposed to just browsing our marketing website), we use strictly necessary and functional cookies or equivalent technologies to keep you signed in, protect your account, remember your workspace preferences, and support features you rely on to build and manage estimates. We do not use advertising or targeting cookies within the logged-in application.
6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Most web browsers let you control cookies through their settings, including blocking cookies entirely, deleting existing cookies, or being notified before a cookie is set. Because the steps differ by browser (for example, Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge each handle this differently), please refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions. If you block or delete cookies, some parts of holyestimate.com or the Services may not function properly.
7. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
We currently do not respond to "Do Not Track" browser signals. Where required by applicable law, we will treat a validly transmitted Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, to the extent such rights apply.
8. Children's Privacy
Holy Estimate is a business-to-business tool intended for construction and remodeling professionals and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect information via cookies from individuals under the age of 16.
9. Updates to This Cookie Notice
We may update this Cookie Notice from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies and technologies we use or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. We will update the "Last Updated" date above when we do, and where changes are material we will take reasonable steps to notify you. Your continued use of holyestimate.com or the Services after an update constitutes your acknowledgment of the revised notice.
