What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, mobile device, or any other device by a website, containing details of your browsing history on that website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies help provide a better and more personalized user experience.

How Cookies Work

When you visit our website, we may send cookies to your device. These cookies help us recognize your device when you return to our site, remember your preferences, and provide you with a more personalized experience.

Cookie Duration

Cookies can remain on your device for varying periods of time. Session cookies exist only while your browser is open and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser until they expire or are deleted.

Types of Cookies We Use

Our website uses several types of cookies for different purposes. These include essential cookies necessary for our site's functionality, preference cookies that remember your settings, analytics cookies that help us understand how you use our site, and marketing cookies that help deliver relevant advertisements.

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and account access. You may disable these by changing your browser settings, but this will affect how the website functions.

Preference Cookies

These cookies allow us to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personal features. For example, these cookies can be used to remember your login details or language preference.

Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This helps us improve our website's structure, content, and user experience.

Marketing Cookies

These cookies track your online activity to help advertisers deliver more relevant advertising or to limit how many times you see an ad. These cookies can share that information with other organizations or advertisers.

Specific Cookies Used on Our Platform

Below is a list of the main cookies we use and what we use them for. We've listed both our first-party cookies and third-party cookies used on our platform.

Authentication Cookies

We use cookies to recognize you when you log in to our accounting platform. These cookies are essential for you to navigate around our platform securely and access your account features.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to collect information about how visitors use our site. These cookies collect information in an anonymous form, including the number of visitors to the site, where visitors have come to the site from, and the pages they visited.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third parties on our website that provide services to us or you. These third parties might use cookies to help us better understand how visitors engage with our site or to personalize their services for you. For example, we may use third-party services like Google Analytics to monitor site traffic, or payment processors that use cookies to facilitate secure transactions.

Social Media Cookies

Our site may include functionality provided by third parties, such as the Facebook 'Like' button or Twitter 'Follow' button. These features may collect your IP address and which page you are visiting, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly.

Payment Processor Cookies

Our payment processors may use cookies when you make payments through our platform to help ensure transactions are secure and to prevent fraud.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

The methods for doing so vary from browser to browser, and from version to version. You can usually find how to do this in the 'Help' section of your browser.

Consequences of Disabling Cookies

If you disable cookies, you might not be able to use some features of our site or accounting software. Essential cookies are required for basic site functionality, and disabling them may prevent you from using our services entirely.
