Cookie Policy

1. Our Approach to Cookies

Bit7s uses a strict minimum-cookie approach. Unlike many SaaS platforms that load advertising trackers, retargeting pixels, and third-party analytics cookies, we only set cookies that are strictly necessary for the service to function.

Bottom line: We do not place advertising, cross-site tracking, or third-party analytics cookies. The only cookies on bit7s.com are session cookies required to keep you logged in.

2. Cookies We Set

Cookie Name	Purpose	Duration	Category
`session`	Maintains login state across page loads	Session (cleared when browser closes)	Strictly Necessary
`remember_token`	Optional "remember me" feature	30 days	Strictly Necessary
`csrf_token`	Prevents cross-site request forgery on forms	Session	Strictly Necessary

3. What We Do NOT Use

No advertising cookies - We do not place Google Ads, Meta Pixel, or LinkedIn Insight Tag.
No third-party analytics cookies - We do not use Google Analytics, Mixpanel, or Hotjar.
No retargeting pixels - We do not place cookies that follow you across other websites.
No social sharing cookies - We do not embed social media widgets that set cookies.

4. Visitor-Side Tracking

When someone visits one of your marketing pages or clicks one of your short links, we record basic server-side information (IP, User-Agent, Referer). This is stored in our server logs, not in browser cookies. See our Privacy Policy for what we collect and how long we keep it.

5. Managing Cookies

Because we only use strictly-necessary cookies, no cookie banner or consent dialog is required under the EU ePrivacy Directive or GDPR. However, you may still clear or block cookies at any time:

Chrome - Settings → Privacy → Cookies
Firefox - Settings → Privacy → Cookies
Safari - Preferences → Privacy → Cookies
Edge - Settings → Cookies and site permissions

If you block the session cookie, you will not be able to log in to your Bit7s account.

6. Embedded Content

If you embed an image or link that points to a third-party domain (e.g., an Amazon product image), that third party may set its own cookies. We have no control over those cookies and recommend reviewing the privacy policy of the destination site.

7. Changes to This Policy

If we ever add non-essential cookies (such as analytics or personalization), we will update this page and display a consent banner at least 30 days before doing so.
