Cookie policy

Last updated November 9, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how BYTEPITCH – SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, S.A. (“Company”, “we”, “us” and “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at https://bytepitch.com (“Website”). It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, which of them need your consent, and how you can change your choice at any time.

How we process personal information more generally, and the rights you have over it, are set out in our Privacy Policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember choices you make, and to understand how a website is used.

Cookies set by the website you are visiting (in this case, by us) are called “first-party cookies”. Cookies set by other parties, such as an analytics provider, are called “third-party cookies”.

Websites can also use similar technologies, such as tracking pixels or scripts that send information about your visit to a provider. In this policy, “cookies” covers those technologies too, and they are subject to the same choices described below.

Your choice comes first

Apart from strictly necessary cookies, no cookie is set and no tracking technology runs until you choose to allow it. When you first visit the Website, a banner asks for your choice:

• Accept all allows every category below.
• Reject all allows only strictly necessary cookies. The Website works fully either way.
• Manage preferences lets you switch each category on or off and see every cookie it uses.

No category is switched on in advance, and rejecting is as easy as accepting.

You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using “Cookie preferences” at the bottom of every page. When you withdraw consent for a category, we delete the cookies of that category that we are able to delete, and stop the technologies that use them.

We keep your choice for six months. After that, or sooner if we change the cookies we use, we ask you again.

Google Analytics

If you allow analytics and performance cookies, we use Google Analytics, provided by Google Ireland Limited, to measure how the Website is used. Google Analytics sets the _ga and _ga_* cookies on our domain, which last for up to two years, and receives information about your visit, such as the pages you view, your browser and device type, and your approximate location. Google keeps the information it collects for us for up to 14 months after your most recent visit, and then deletes it.

Google may process this information in the United States. Google LLC is certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, on the basis of which such transfers are permitted. For more about how Google uses information, see Google’s Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Google signals

If you also allow targeting and marketing cookies, we use Google signals, a feature of Google Analytics. If you are signed in to a Google account and have turned on personalised ads in it, Google associates the information about your visit with your account. From this we receive only aggregated reports, for example about visitors who use more than one device, or about visitors’ age ranges and interests; we never see who you are. We may also use it to show our advertising on other websites to groups of people who have visited ours.

If you do not allow targeting and marketing cookies, Google signals is off for your visit. You can also control it in your Google account at any time: switch off personalised ads in My Ad Center, and see or delete the information linked to your account in My Activity.

HubSpot

If you allow targeting and marketing cookies, we use HubSpot, our customer relationship management (CRM) and marketing platform, to see how the Website is visited. HubSpot’s tracking code sets the hubspotutk, __hstc, __hssc and __hssrc cookies on our domain, which last for up to six months, and records the pages you view under a random ID.

That ID does not tell us who you are. If you then send us the contact form, it is passed to HubSpot with your enquiry, so the pages you visited before are linked to your contact record. We use this to understand what you are interested in and to follow up on your enquiry. If you do not allow targeting and marketing cookies, HubSpot’s tracking code does not run, and your enquiry is sent without it.

HubSpot stores this information for us in its data centre in the European Union. HubSpot and some of its service providers may still access it from outside the EU, including from the United States, to provide and support the service. HubSpot, Inc. is certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, on the basis of which such transfers are permitted. For more, see HubSpot’s Privacy Policy.

Google reCAPTCHA

Our contact form is protected by Google reCAPTCHA, which helps us tell people from automated spam. It runs only when you use the contact form, and it may set the _GRECAPTCHA cookie on Google’s domain. We treat it as strictly necessary, because it is needed to provide the contact form you are using securely. Its use is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

Record of your choice

To be able to show that we asked for and respected your consent, as data protection law requires, we keep a record of each cookie choice made on the Website: an anonymous consent ID (also stored in your cc_cookie cookie), the date and time, the version of this policy, the categories you allowed and refused, and your browser type (for example, “Chrome on desktop”). The record contains no IP address and no information that identifies you directly. We keep it for three years and then delete it.

If you contact us about your consent, please quote your consent ID and the date of your consent. Both are shown below for this browser, together with your current choice:

Controlling cookies in your browser

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser’s settings. If you block all cookies, including strictly necessary ones, some parts of the Website, such as the contact form, may not work. How to do this depends on your browser; see its help pages, for example for Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy, for example when we change the cookies we use or for legal or regulatory reasons. The date at the top shows when it was last updated. If we change the cookies we use, we ask for your choice again.
