Cookie Policy & Preferences

01What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies — such as local storage, pixels, and SDKs — work in comparable ways. Together they help a site remember information about your visit, keep you signed in, and understand how the site is used.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information more broadly.

02Types of cookies we use

Essential

Required for the Platform to function. These cannot be disabled and include session authentication, security tokens, and the record of your cookie-consent choice.

Functional

Enhance your experience by remembering your preferences, recently viewed products, and display settings.

Analytics

Help us understand how visitors use the Platform so we can improve it. These run only if you choose "Accept all" — our own first-party analytics mask your IP address, and Google Analytics 4 reports in aggregate.

Marketing

Currently not used. We do not serve behavioural advertising or share data with ad networks for cross-context advertising.

03Cookies we set

The table below lists the main cookies used on the Platform.

04Your consent choices

When you first visit Saaskart, a consent banner lets you choose how cookies and analytics are used:

Accept all — enables functional and analytics technologies, including our first-party analytics and Google Analytics.
Essential only — keeps only what's strictly necessary; no analytics run.
Manage preferences — expands a breakdown of each category before you decide.

Your choice is stored in the saaskart_cookie_consent entry on your device, and — if you're signed in — saved to your account so it follows you across devices. Our first-party analytics simply do not run until consent is set to “Accept all”.

Changing your mind

To change your choice, clear the saaskart_cookie_consent value in your browser's site data (or clear site data for saaskart.co) and the banner will appear again on your next visit. We also honour “Do Not Track” and Global Privacy Control signals where required.

05Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party services we use, including Google Analytics 4 (analytics) and Razorpay (payment processing and fraud prevention). Our own website analytics are first-party — collected by Saaskart, IP-masked, and consent-gated. These providers process data under their own privacy policies, and we do not control cookies set by third-party websites you reach through outbound links.

06Managing your preferences

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you refuse cookies, delete existing ones, or be notified when a cookie is set. You can also opt out of analytics as described in Your Privacy Choices.

Heads up

Disabling essential cookies may prevent you from signing in or using key features of the Platform.
