PB Cookie Policy
At ProcurementBuddy, we are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data about you. This cookie policy describes what cookies are and how ProcurementBuddy and its related services use them. This Policy is a legally binding agreement between you ("User", "you" or "your") and ProcurementBuddy Services (doing business as "PB", "we", "us" or "our"). By continuing to visit or use our Services, you are agreeing to the use of cookies and similar technologies for the purposes described in this policy.
You should read this Policy so you can understand the types of cookies we use, the information we collect using cookies and how that information is used. For information on how we use, store and keep your personal data secure, read PB's Privacy Policy.
Like many websites, ProcurementBuddy uses cookies and other unique identifiers to obtain certain types of information from your web browser. Cookies are small pieces of data stored in text files that are saved on your computer or other devices when websites are loaded in a browser. We use cookies and similar technologies to store your preferences and settings, enable you to sign in, provide interest-based advertising, combat fraud, analyse how our products perform, and fulfil other legitimate purposes.
We use two types of cookies: "session cookies" and "persistent cookies".
Session cookies are temporary cookies that are used during your visit on ProcurementBuddy, and they expire when you close the web browser.
Persistent cookies are used to remember your preferences within our Services and remain on your desktop or mobile device even after you close your browser or restart your computer. They ensure a consistent and efficient experience for you while visiting the ProcurementBuddy.
Cookies may be set by the Website ("first-party cookies"), or by third parties, such as those who serve content or provide advertising or analytics services on the Website ("third-party cookies"). These third parties can recognise you when you visit ProcurementBuddy.
Below, we describe the purposes for which we use these technologies.
| Authentication | We use cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our Services. If you’re signed into ProcurementBuddy, these technologies help us show you the right information and personalise your experience based on your settings. For example, cookies enable ProcurementBuddy to identify you and verify your account. |

| Preferences, features and services | We use cookies and similar technologies to enable the functionality of our Services, such as helping you to fill out forms on our Services more easily and providing you with features, insights and customised content in conjunction with our plugins. We also use these technologies to remember information about your browser and your preferences. For example, cookies can tell us which language you prefer and what your communications preferences are. We may also use local storage to improve site performance. |
| Customized content | We use cookies and similar technologies to customise your experience on our Services. For example, we may use cookies to remember previous searches so that when you return to our services, we can offer additional information that relates to your previous search. |

We or our service providers use these technologies to understand, improve, and research products, features, and services, including as you navigate our sites or when you access ProcurementBuddy from other sites, applications, or devices. We also use these technologies to provide aggregated information to our customers and partners as part of our Services. |
