Effective Date: January 1, 2026 | Last Revised: September 15, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how SpiralBig ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies, local storage items, and similar web tracking technologies when you visit our website, dashboard, or download data files. We are committed to transparency regarding how cookies are deployed on your browser.

1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?

A cookie is a small text file placed onto your computer or mobile device by a website's server. Cookies allow websites to remember your browser, preserve login sessions, store user preferences, and provide analytical data. In addition to HTTP cookies, modern web applications utilize localStorage to store non-sensitive interface preferences directly inside your browser cache.

2. Categories of Cookies We Utilize

SpiralBig deploys only necessary, functional, and performance-enhancing cookies as described in the breakdown below:

Strictly Necessary & Security Cookies

Mandatory

These cookies are indispensable for the basic security and operation of our web platform. They facilitate session persistence, user authentication, and Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) protection.

• PHPSESSID: Secure server session token for logged-in users (Expires: Session end)

• csrf_token: Anti-tampering token defending form submissions (Expires: 24 hours)

• token: Encrypted JWT / Auth bearer token for authenticated user dashboard access

Functional & Interface Preferences

Functional

These items remember user preferences to provide a personalized, seamless browsing experience across devices without requiring re-configuration on every visit.

• theme (localStorage): Stores your choice of Dark Mode or Light Mode theme

• currency (localStorage): Remembers selected checkout currency (INR vs USD)

• cookie_consent: Records your cookie preferences acceptance status

Third-Party Payment Gateway Cookies

Payment Processing

When you initiate a transaction via Razorpay or PayPal, their embedded checkouts may set secure telemetry cookies required for fraud prevention, 3D-Secure authentication, and transaction tokenization. These third-party cookies are governed by the respective privacy policies of Razorpay and PayPal.

3. We Do NOT Sell or Trade Your Data

SpiralBig does not deploy intrusive third-party cross-site advertising networks, data brokers, or behavioral retargeting trackers (such as third-party ad networks). We respect your privacy and process web telemetry solely to deliver domain intelligence services.

4. How to Control and Manage Cookies

Most modern web browsers allow you to manage cookie settings through their preferences menu. You can configure your browser to block third-party cookies, alert you when a cookie is placed, or erase all cookies upon closing your browser. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may impede login functionality or checkout operations.
