Cookie policy
This covers the BALAY website. The app does not use cookies, because it is not a website.
One cookie, and only if you say yes
We use Google Analytics to count visits, and it sets a cookie. Nothing is loaded and nothing is stored until you agree: say no and the script is never fetched at all, so Google is never told you were here.
There is no advertising cookie, and we have turned off the advertising features of Analytics. Nobody is tracked across other sites.
One thing is saved on your device
The appearance toggle in the navigation bar saves your choice so the page does not flash the wrong colours next time you visit.
| Name | Kind | What it holds | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| balay-appearance | Local storage, not a cookie | The word "light" or "dark" | Until you clear your browser data |
| balay-analytics | Local storage, not a cookie | Your answer to the banner: "yes" or "no" | Until you clear your browser data |
| _ga, _ga_… | Cookie, set by Google Analytics | A random identifier for this browser, so repeat visits are not counted twice | Up to two years, and only if you agreed |
It is stored by your browser on your device and is never sent to us or to anyone else. It holds nothing that identifies you.
Removing it
Clear site data for this site in your browser settings, and it goes. In Safari that is Settings, then Privacy, then Manage Website Data. In Chrome it is Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies and site data.
The site keeps working without it. It will follow your system light or dark setting instead.
If that changes
If we ever add analytics, this page changes first and you get a banner that asks properly. Turning it down will be as easy as accepting.
