How We Use Cookies
TaxSuite uses cookies and browser storage to:
- Keep you logged into your account between page loads and browser sessions
- Protect your account from cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks
- Remember your application preferences (such as your selected billing cycle on the pricing page)
- Maintain the state of multi-step forms and data entry flows
- Collect aggregated, anonymous analytics to understand how features are used
- Detect and prevent fraudulent or abusive activity
We do not use cookies for advertising, retargeting, or to build profiles for sale to third parties.
Third-Party Cookies
Some third-party services that TaxSuite integrates with may set their own cookies. We do not control third-party cookies and they are governed by the respective provider's cookie policy.
| Provider | Purpose | Cookie Policy |
|---|---|---|
| Stripe | Payment processing — fraud detection and secure checkout | stripe.com/cookies-policy |
| Google (OAuth only) | Set during Google sign-in flow. Only present if you use Google login. | policies.google.com/privacy |
| GitHub (OAuth only) | Set during GitHub sign-in flow. Only present if you use GitHub login. | docs.github.com/site-policy/privacy-policies |
TaxSuite does not integrate advertising networks, tracking pixels, or any third-party cookie-based analytics (such as Google Analytics). We use only our own first-party analytics infrastructure.
Managing Your Preferences
You can manage cookies in the following ways:
- In TaxSuite Settings: Navigate to Settings → Account → Privacy to opt out of analytics cookies. Note: strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled through this interface.
- In your browser: All major browsers allow you to block, delete, or manage cookies through their privacy or security settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in.
- Browser-specific instructions: Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies. Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security. Safari: Preferences → Privacy. Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions.
Deleting your browser cookies will log you out of TaxSuite. If you have “Remember me” enabled, you will need to log in again after clearing cookies.
Do Not Track
Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your activity tracked. Because there is no universally accepted standard for responding to DNT signals, TaxSuite does not currently respond to DNT signals differently from regular traffic.
If you want to limit analytics collection, use the opt-out in Settings → Account → Privacy, or block cookies at the browser level.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as we add new features or change our technical infrastructure. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
For material changes, we will notify you via email or an in-app notice at least 14 days before the change takes effect.
