Cookie Policy

Last updated October 12, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Binari Software ("Company," "we," "us," "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on https://novuscompliance.com (the "Site") and within our cloud-based FATCA, CRS, and 1099 reporting platform (the "Services"). It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which sets out how we collect, use, and share personal information generally.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide reporting information to site owners.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Novus Compliance) are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called third-party cookies. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality (such as analytics or advertising) to be provided on or through the website.

We also use related technologies that function similarly to cookies, including:

  • Local storage and session storage — for caching platform state and improving load times
  • Web beacons and pixel tags — invisible images used to track page visits and email opens
  • Software development kits (SDKs) — used within applications for similar tracking purposes

In this policy, references to "cookies" include these related technologies unless stated otherwise.

2. Why do we use cookies?

We use cookies for several reasons, grouped into four categories:

  • Strictly Necessary — required for the Site and Services to function. Without these cookies, you cannot log in, navigate securely, or use core features.
  • Functional — remember your preferences and settings to improve your experience (for example, language or region preference).
  • Analytics and Performance — help us understand how visitors use the Site, which pages are most popular, and where users encounter issues.
  • Marketing and Advertising — used to measure the effectiveness of our campaigns and to deliver relevant advertising on third-party platforms.

  • We do not use cookies to track you across unrelated third-party websites beyond the advertising and analytics purposes described above.

4. Session vs. persistent cookies

Cookies can remain on your device for different periods:

  • Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. We use these primarily for authentication and session management.
  • Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period (from 1 minute to 2 years) or until you delete them. We use these for preferences, analytics, and marketing measurement.

5. Third-party cookies and your data

Some cookies on our Site are set and controlled by third parties. We do not control these cookies, and their use is governed by the respective provider's privacy policy. We encourage you to review them:

6. How can you control cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences in the following ways:

6.1 Browser settings

Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can typically:

  • View the cookies currently stored on your device
  • Delete specific cookies or all cookies
  • Block cookies from specific sites or from all sites
  • Set your browser to alert you when a cookie is being set

Instructions for common browsers:

6.2 Analytics and advertising opt-outs

You can opt out of specific third-party tracking using the tools below:

6.3 Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Some browsers include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature. Because no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals.

We do, however, honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal where required by applicable law (for example, under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA). When a GPC signal is detected, we treat it as a request to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for targeted advertising.

7. Legal basis and consent

European Economic Area and United Kingdom (GDPR / UK GDPR and ePrivacy)

If you are located in the EEA or the UK, our use of cookies is governed by the ePrivacy Directive (and its national implementations) and the GDPR / UK GDPR. Our legal bases for using cookies are:

  • Strictly Necessary cookies: used on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a secure and functional website and platform (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR), or where required to perform a contract with you (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR). These do not require consent.
  • Functional, Analytics, and Marketing cookies: used only with your prior consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you may withdraw at any time.

India (Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023)

If you are located in India, we process personal data collected through cookies in accordance with the DPDP Act. Where consent is required under the Act, we obtain it through clear, informed notice and provide you with the ability to withdraw consent and exercise your rights as described in our Privacy Policy.

California (CCPA / CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. We do not sell personal information. Certain advertising cookies may constitute "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising, and you may opt out using the tools described in Section 6.2.

8. What happens if you disable cookies?

If you disable or refuse cookies, some parts of the Site and Services may not function properly:

  • Strictly Necessary cookies disabled: You will be unable to log in to the Novus Compliance platform, submit filings, or use any authenticated features.
  • Functional cookies disabled: Your preferences (language, layout, module defaults) will not be remembered between visits.
  • Analytics cookies disabled: We will be unable to measure site performance or improve the user experience. This does not affect your ability to use the platform.
  • Marketing cookies disabled: You may still see our ads, but they will be less relevant. This does not affect your ability to use the platform.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our practices. The updated version will be indicated by an updated "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes will be notified to registered users by email.
