Cookie Policy

Last updated July 21, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how BugBracelet.com uses cookies and similar technologies. It forms part of our Terms of Service and should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by a website. They help sites function, remember your preferences, and understand usage. Session cookies are removed when you close your browser; persistent cookies remain until they expire or you delete them. Cookies cannot run programs or carry viruses.

How we use cookies

Strictly necessary / functionality

We set a single first-party cookie, bb_consent, to remember the cookie choice you make in our banner or via the "Cookie settings" link. It stores only "accept" or "reject", lasts up to one year, and is not used to track you.

Analytics

With your consent where required, we use Google Analytics to collect aggregated information about how the Site is used — pages viewed, approximate location, and how visitors found us. Google Analytics sets cookies whose names begin with _ga. We use this data only in aggregate to improve the Site; it does not identify you personally, and we have not enabled Google's advertising features.

Your choices by region

• EU/EEA, United Kingdom, and Switzerland — analytics cookies are OFF by default. You will see a consent banner on your first visit; analytics runs only if you choose "Accept".
• United States and elsewhere — analytics may run by default, and you can opt out at any time using the "Cookie settings" link in the footer. Choosing "Reject non-essential" stops analytics from loading on future page views. This is our opt-out control for California (CCPA/CPRA) and other US state privacy laws.

You can change your choice whenever you like — the "Cookie settings" link in the footer reopens the banner.

What we do not do

We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting, or social-media tracking pixels, and we do not serve third-party display advertisements.

Third-party cookies

Our hosting and content-delivery infrastructure may set a security cookie to identify trusted traffic and protect the Site against malicious activity. Such cookies are strictly necessary for security and are governed by the provider's own policies.

Managing cookies in your browser

You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Guidance for common browsers:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge
