This Cookie Policy explains how Timebase, Inc. (“Company,” “we,” or “us”) uses cookies, local storage, and similar tracking technologies on our websites and applications (the “Service”). This policy supplements our Privacy Policy and the Terms of Service.
You can review and change your preferences at any time by opening or via the “Your privacy choices” link in the site footer.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow a site to remember information about your visit (for example that you are signed in) so that subsequent visits are easier and more useful. We also use related technologies such as localStorage, pixels, and web beacons; for the purposes of this policy, those are referred to collectively as “Cookies.”
2. Categories we use
- Strictly necessary. Required for core functionality: authentication, session integrity, load balancing, and recording your cookie preferences. These cannot be disabled without breaking the Service.
- Analytics & Performance. Anonymous metrics about how the Service is used. Helps us identify slow pages and broken flows. Provided via Vercel Web Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights.
- Marketing. Helps us measure which channels reach professionals who would benefit from Timebase. Provided via Meta Pixel.
3. Cookies we set
The table below lists representative cookies. Some third-party cookies in the Analytics and Marketing categories may be set with related names by the same provider; consult that provider’s documentation for an authoritative list.

| bp_business_session | Strictly necessary | Authenticated business session token. Required for the business backend to load. | 30 days | First-party (Timebase) |

| tb_consent_region | Strictly necessary | Stores whether the visitor's IP is classified as a strict-consent region (EU/UK/EEA) so the correct defaults apply on first paint. | 30 days | First-party (Timebase) |
| timebase_consent_v1 (localStorage) | Strictly necessary | Records the visitor's saved cookie preferences for analytics and marketing categories. | Until cleared | First-party (Timebase) |

| _fbp / _fbc | Marketing | Set by Meta Pixel to measure ad-driven conversions on signup and onboarding pages. | Up to 90 days | Third-party (Meta) |
4. Managing your preferences
You can change Analytics and Marketing preferences at any time:
- — available from this page and from the site footer.
- Use your browser’s settings to block or delete cookies. Doing so may impair Service functionality.
- California residents can use the “Your privacy choices” link in the footer to access the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” toggle.
5. Regional rules
For visitors whose IP geolocates to the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with prior-consent requirements, optional Analytics and Marketing cookies are denied by default until you make an affirmative choice through our consent banner.
Outside those jurisdictions, optional cookies are enabled by default; you may revoke consent at any time through Cookie preferences, and your choice persists across visits.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy to reflect changes in our practices, the technologies we use, or applicable law. Material changes will be communicated via the Service. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page reflects the latest revision.
