COOKIES POLICY

Last updated: January 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Spendbase Inc (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website. This policy provides you with clear and comprehensive information about the cookies we use and the purposes for which we use them.

By continuing to use our website, you consent to the placement of cookies on your device as described in this Cookie Policy. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time using the methods described in Section 7 below.

This Cookie Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, which provides detailed information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal data.

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, enhance the user experience, and provide information to website owners.

Cookies allow a website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, settings, and browsing history. This enables the website to provide you with a more personalized experience and helps website owners understand how visitors interact with their site.

Cookies may be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies. A persistent cookie consists of a text file sent by a web server to a web browser, which will be stored by the browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date (unless deleted by the user before the expiry date). A session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.

We use both persistent and sessional cookies, for example:

• Forms-related cookies

When you submit data to us through a form such as those found on contact pages or demo request forms, cookies may be set to remember your user details for future correspondence.

• Site preferences cookies

In order to provide you with a great experience on this Website we provide the functionality to set your preferences for how this Website runs when you use it. In order to remember your preferences we need to set cookies so that this information can be called whenever you interact with a page that is affected by your preferences.

• Cookie consent cookies

We use Cookiebot to manage cookie consent on our Website. When you make choices about cookies, a cookie is set to remember your preferences so we can respect your choices on future visits.

• Analytics cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our Website. These cookies help us measure the number of visitors, see which pages are most popular, and understand how users navigate through the site. This information helps us improve the Website and provide a better user experience.

• Marketing cookies

We use marketing cookies to track visitors across websites. These cookies are used to display advertisements that are relevant and engaging for you, and to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.

• Third-party cookies

When you visit our Website, third-party cookies may collect various types of data. These cookies track information such as your interests, browsing behavior, and how you arrived at our Website, so that we and our partners can provide you with more relevant content and advertisements.

Cookies Currently in Use

Note: Additional cookies from Google Analytics, Google Ads, LinkedIn, and Meta may be set after you provide consent for marketing and analytics cookies

Cookies do not contain any information that personally identifies you, but personal information that we store about you may be linked, by us, to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. The cookies used on this Website include those which are strictly necessary cookies for access and navigation, cookies that track usage (performance cookies), remember your choices (functionality cookies), and deliver targeted advertising (marketing cookies).

We may use the information we obtain from your use of our cookies for the following purposes:

• to recognize your computer when you visit our Website;
• to track you as you navigate our Website;
• to improve the Website’s usability;

The data is used for the Company and our products only. The data may be shared with third parties in case of the use of third-party cookies.

In some special cases, we also use cookies provided by trusted third parties. Third parties include search engines, providers of measurement and analytics services, social media networks, and advertising companies. The following section details which third-party cookies you might encounter through this site.

The following third-party services may set cookies on your device only after you provide consent through our cookie consent banner. However, please note that some services (such as Google Fonts, content delivery networks, and embedded forms) may receive technical information such as your IP address when your browser loads resources from their servers, even without cookie consent. This data transfer is necessary for the basic functionality of our Website and does not involve storing cookies on your device.

5.1 Google Analytics

We use the Google Analytics service provided by Google Inc. which is one of the most widespread and trusted analytics solutions on the web to help us to understand how you use the Website and ways that we can improve your experience. These cookies may track things such as how long you spend on the Website and the pages that you visit so we can continue to produce engaging content.

Although Google Analytics records data such as geographical location, device, internet browser and operating system, none of this information personally identifies you to us. Google Analytics also records your computer’s IP address which could be used to personally identify you, but Google Analytics do not grant us access to this information. They also help identify any difficulties you have accessing our services, so we can fix any problems.
