Issued by Spotbookr Inc on behalf of Spotsavr
Introduction
This Cookie Policy applies to spotsavr.com and app.spotsavr.com, both operated by Spotbookr Inc. It explains how we use cookies, pixel tags, local storage, and similar tracking technologies (collectively, “Cookies”) when you use our Service.
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Data Policy and Terms & Conditions.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognises that cookie. Cookies are used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to the site owner about how users interact with the site.
In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use:
- Local Storage & Session Storage: Browser-based storage used to retain information during or between sessions.
- Pixel Tags / Web Beacons: Small graphic elements embedded in pages or emails that allow us to track interactions. Spotsavr uses a 1×1 transparent tracking pixel in notification and recap emails to record open events.
- Device Fingerprinting: Technical signals from your device (browser type, OS, screen resolution, etc.) used for security and fraud prevention.
2. Types of Cookies
