1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. Similar technologies, such as local storage, work in comparable ways. In this policy we refer to all of them as “cookies”.
2. How we use cookies
We group cookies into two categories:
- Strictly necessary — required for the website to function, such as remembering your cookie choice or the color theme you selected. These do not require consent under the EU ePrivacy Directive and equivalent laws, and cannot be switched off.
- Analytics — help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. These are set only if you click “Accept all” or enable analytics in Cookie settings. Until then, the Google Analytics script is not loaded at all.
We do not use advertising, retargeting or social-media tracking cookies.
3. Cookies we use
| Cookie | Provider | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
bba_consent | BBA Apps | Strictly necessary | Stores your cookie preferences so we don't ask on every page. | 180 days |
bba-theme | BBA Apps | Strictly necessary (local storage) | Remembers the light or dark theme you chose. Only set when you pick a theme different from your device setting. | Until you clear it or switch back |
_ga | Google Analytics | Analytics (consent) | Distinguishes unique visitors to produce aggregated usage statistics. | 2 years |
_ga_<container-id> | Google Analytics | Analytics (consent) | Maintains session state for Google Analytics 4. | 2 years |
Google's use of data collected through Google Analytics is described in How Google uses information from sites that use its services. You can also install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
4. Managing your choices
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time — it is as easy as giving it. When you withdraw consent, we stop analytics collection and delete the Google Analytics cookies from your browser.
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may cause parts of the website not to work as intended.
5. Global Privacy Control
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we automatically treat it as a refusal of optional cookies and do not show analytics cookies unless you later choose to enable them in Cookie settings.
6. Changes & contact
If we add new cookies or change how we use them, we will update this policy and ask for your consent again where required. Questions? Email info@bbaapps.com or read our Privacy Policy.
