Cookies Policy

This Cookie Policy describes how Softbase Systems and its affiliates (“Sosftbase”, “we”, “us” and/or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to collect and store information when you visit, use or interact with our website.  For more information about our privacy practices please review our privacy policy.

What are Cookies?

Cookies, used by most websites, are text files stored on a user’s browser containing information about the user (e.g., information about devices and networks used to access our website). Cookies and similar technologies record certain information about your interaction with our website. This can include:

  1. Browser and device data, such as IP address, device type, device and advertising identifiers, browser type, screen resolution, operating system name and version, device manufacturer and model, language, plug-ins, add-ons and the language version of the pages you are visiting;
  2. Usage data, such as time spent on our website, the pages visited, links you clicked, your language preferences, and the pages that led or referred you to our website.

Do we use cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies and similar technologies play an important role in helping us provide personal, effective and safe interactions. We use cookies on our website and share those cookies with partners and third parties, like Google Analytics (you may visit to learn more about how Google uses this information). We may change the cookies and similar technologies periodically as we improve or add to our systems and infrastructure, but we generally use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

  1. Operate Our Systems and Infrastructure. Some cookies and similar technologies are essential to the operation of our systems and infrastructure (e.g., our website). We may use those cookies and similar technologies in a number of different ways, including:
    1. Authentication. We use cookies and similar technologies to remember your login state, so you don’t have to login as you navigate throughout our systems and infrastructure.
    2. Fraud Prevention and Detection. Cookies and similar technologies that we deploy throughout our systems and infrastructure help us learn things about the computers and web browsers used to access them. This information helps us monitor for and detect potentially harmful or illegal use or behavior.
    3. Preferences. We use cookies and similar technologies to remember how you prefer to use our systems and infrastructure, so that you don’t have to reconfigure your settings each time.
  2. Improve Our Website. Cookies and similar technologies help us understand how to make our website work better for you. Cookies and similar technologies tell us how people reach our website and they give us insights into improvements or enhancements we need to make to our website . For example, we use cookies to identify popular sections of our website, to recognize how frequently you have visited the website, to remember your preferences on our website, and to improve the security of our website.
  3. Advertising. Cookies and similar technologies can help us provide more effective advertising. For example, we might use a cookie to help prevent you from seeing the same advertisement multiple times or to measure how many times an advertisement is viewed or clicked on.

Each cookie falls within one of the four following categories:

CATEGORY
DESCRIPTION

Necessary

Necessary cookies (sometimes called “strictly necessary” or “essential”) enable core website functionality and without them we cannot provide many features, functionalities, or services on our website. Some examples include cookies for network management, security, and authentication.

 

Analytics

We might also use analytics cookies to test new ads, pages, or features to see how users react to them.

 

Functional

Functionality cookies (also called “preference cookies”) are used to remember information you have entered or choices you make (e.g., username, language or your region) on our services.

 

Advertising

 

These cookies are placed by third party advertising platforms or networks in order to deliver ads and/or track ad performance, enabling advertising networks to deliver ads that may be relevant to you based upon your activities on our website. These cookies are used by advertising companies to serve ads that are relevant to your interests.

First Party and Third Party Cookies

Our website may place first party cookies and allow third parties to place cookies on your device. The difference between a ‘first party’ cookie and a ‘third party’ cookie relates to the control of the party who serves the cookie. First party cookies are cookies that are specific to the website that created them. Our use of first party cookies enables us to operate an efficient service and to track the patterns of behavior of visitors. Third party cookies, on the other hand, are placed on your device by a third party (i.e., not by Sosftbase). While we may allow third parties to place these cookies on users’ devices, we do not retain control over the information supplied by the cookies. This information is controlled wholly by that third party and subject to their privacy notice/policy. The cookies that we commonly use are listed below.
