Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences and understand how visitors use the site. SaaSpare uses only the cookies necessary to run the site and measure its performance — we do not use advertising cookies or sell data to third parties.

Cookies we use

1. Essential cookies

These cookies are required for the site to function. They cannot be disabled.

• Session management — keeps you logged in if you use the Shortlist Builder tool.
• Cloudflare security cookies (__cf_bm, cf_clearance) — bot protection and DDoS mitigation provided by Cloudflare Pages, our hosting provider. Set on first visit, expire after 30 minutes to 1 year.

2. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics 4)

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand which pages are popular and how visitors navigate the site. This helps us improve our content and fix problems. GA4 sets the following cookies:

• _ga — Distinguishes unique users. Expires after 2 years.
• _ga_RLYVYV8WQJ — Stores session state. Expires after 2 years.
• _gid — Distinguishes users, expires after 24 hours.

Analytics data is anonymised and IP addresses are not stored in full. We do not use GA4 for advertising or remarketing. You can opt out via Google Analytics Opt-Out or by enabling "Do Not Track" in your browser.

3. Affiliate tracking cookies

When you click an affiliate link (e.g. /go/nordvpn) you are redirected to the vendor's website. The vendor may set their own cookies to track whether you make a purchase. These cookies are set by the vendor, not by SaaSpare. Vendors include Commission Junction (CJ), Impact.com, Awin, and others. Please refer to each vendor's own privacy and cookie policy for details.

SaaSpare's own pages do not set affiliate tracking cookies on our domain. We earn a commission if you purchase after clicking — this is disclosed on every page that contains affiliate links.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we do, we update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
