Cookie Notice

Effective date: [To be confirmed]Version: Draft 1.0

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. We also use similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. This Notice explains how EscrowSign uses these technologies.

2. Categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary

Required for the Platform to function. These include session authentication, CSRF protection, load balancing, and security tokens. They cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality. No consent is required for strictly necessary cookies.

Security

Used to detect fraud, detect device anomalies, enforce rate limits, and protect against account takeover. These are considered strictly necessary for a financial platform and load by default. They do not track behaviour for advertising purposes.

Functional / preference

Remember your settings such as language preference, theme, and notification preferences. Loaded only after you provide consent (or when strictly required to provide a feature you have explicitly requested).

Analytics

Help us understand how users navigate the Platform, which pages are visited most, and where errors occur. Data is aggregated and anonymised where possible. Loaded only after consent. [PLACEHOLDER — specific analytics provider to be confirmed.]

Marketing

Used only where you have separately opted in to marketing communications. We do not use third-party advertising networks or sell data to advertisers. [PLACEHOLDER — confirm if marketing cookies will be used at all.]

3. Specific cookies

[PLACEHOLDER — Complete cookie inventory with name, provider, purpose, type, and duration to be added before launch. This list must be kept current.]

4. Your choices

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through the Cookie Preferences panel (accessible via the link in the footer). Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

You may also configure your browser to block or delete cookies. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent the Platform from functioning. Blocking security cookies may result in reduced fraud protection.

5. Third-party cookies

[PLACEHOLDER — List any third-party services that set cookies (e.g., analytics, identity verification providers). Confirm that all third parties have been assessed under applicable data protection law.]

6. Retention

Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until their expiry date or until you delete them. Specific retention periods are listed in the cookie inventory (section 3 above).

7. Changes

We will update this Notice when we add or change cookies. We will notify you of material changes.
