Cookie Policy & Privacy Notice
Last Updated: 17 June 2026
This Cookie Notice explains how Synthesis Tech Ltd ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you log into and interact with the Speedy Tender web application and platform (the "Platform").
To ensure full transparency under the UK General Data Protection Regulation ("UK GDPR") and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations ("PECR"), this document sets out what cookies are, why we use them, and your explicit rights to manage their implementation.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files containing strings of alphanumeric characters that are placed securely on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you browse or log into a web application. They are widely used by software providers to ensure applications function efficiently, preserve secure user sessions, and report performance analytics.
2. How Speedy Tender Uses Cookies
As a dedicated B2B tender management tool, Speedy Tender maintains a strict policy of minimal client tracking. We do not implement third-party tracking networks, behavioural advertising pixels, or cross-site commercial profiling cookies.
We restrict our cookie utilization to two specific categories necessary to maintain a secure, active workflow environment for your bid management teams.
3. The Cookies We Use
A. Strictly Necessary Cookies (Always Active)
These cookies are technically critical to the basic operation of the Platform. They allow our infrastructure to authenticate your team members, maintain secure cryptographic active sessions, and safeguard forms against cross-site security exploits. Without these cookies, the core functionality of Speedy Tender cannot be securely delivered.
| Cookie Name | Provider / Source | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| __session | Google Firebase Auth | Maintains securely encrypted user authentication and active login status across our application workspace. | Session |
| XSRF-TOKEN | Speedy Tender App Core | Security token designed to prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks on multi-tenant project forms. | Session |
B. Analytical & Performance Cookies (Optional)
In the future, we may deploy lightweight site telemetry (such as Google Analytics) to assess platform performance, evaluate Velo engine processing speed, and optimise user experience layouts. These cookies will only activate if an enterprise client explicitly opts in via our compliance banner.
| Cookie Name | Provider / Source | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga / _gid | Google Analytics | Anonymously calculates aggregate platform visit volume, interface latency, and feature usage patterns. | Up to 2 years |
4. Your Legal Consent & Preferences
Under UK GDPR and PECR regulations, you retain total control over cookie placement:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies are deployed automatically under our lawful basis of contractual necessity to make the software functional. These cannot be disabled via the compliance interface.
- Analytical Cookies remain entirely blocked by default. They will never download or initiate tracking until a user explicitly selects "Accept Optional Cookies" on the cookie consent banner.
5. Browser Configuration Controls
In addition to our platform settings, you can completely block, clear, or reject cookies directly within your internet browser configurations. Please note that disabling all cookies entirely will prevent Firebase Authentication from verifying your login profile, rendering the secure areas of Speedy Tender inaccessible.
