1. Introduction
Welcome to the Cookie Policy of BODOS TECHNOLOGY. This Cookie Policy explains how BODOS may use cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website, access your account, create a website, manage an online store, or interact with features available through our platform. BODOS is a website-building platform designed to help individuals, entrepreneurs, businesses, and organizations establish and manage an online presence. Depending on the features available, our platform may support website creation, online stores, custom domains, ticket sales, election-related tools, and other digital services. Cookies and similar technologies can help websites function properly, maintain secure sessions, remember user preferences, and understand how services are being used. This policy explains what these technologies are, why they may be used, the categories of information they may process, and the choices available to you. This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website may store on your browser or device when you visit it. They can help a website recognize a browser, remember certain preferences, maintain a session, or support other website functions. Some cookies are created by the website you visit. Others may be created by third-party services integrated into that website. Cookies can differ according to their purpose, duration, and provider. Session Cookies Session cookies generally remain on your browser while you use a website and are removed when the browser session ends, depending on their configuration. They may help maintain a user's session or support temporary website functions. Persistent Cookies Persistent cookies remain on a device for a specified period or until they are deleted. They may help remember preferences, maintain certain settings, or support other functions across multiple visits. First-Party Cookies First-party cookies are set by the website or domain you are visiting. BODOS may use first-party cookies to support its own platform functionality. Third-Party Cookies Third-party cookies are set by an external service integrated into a website. Depending on the integrations actually used, these services may include analytics, security, payment, embedded content, or other technology providers. Third-party cookies are subject to the relevant provider's practices and the configuration of the integration.
3. What Are Similar Technologies?
Cookies are not the only technologies that may store or access information on your device. Depending on the features and integrations enabled, BODOS may use or encounter technologies such as: Local storage: Browser storage that allows websites to retain information on a device. Session storage: Browser storage designed to retain information during a browsing session. Pixels and tags: Small pieces of code that may help measure activity or support certain website functions. Web beacons: Technologies that may help determine whether particular content has been accessed. Session identifiers: Identifiers that help a website maintain a user's session. Security tokens: Technical values used to authenticate requests or protect accounts. Server logs: Records that may capture information about requests made to a website. Not every technology listed above is necessarily used by BODOS at all times. Actual use depends on the platform's technical implementation and enabled services. For simplicity, this policy refers to cookies and similar technologies collectively as “cookies and similar technologies.”
4. Why BODOS May Use Cookies
BODOS may use cookies and similar technologies for several purposes. Essential Website Functionality Some technologies may be necessary for the platform to operate. They may help users navigate the website, sign in to accounts, maintain sessions, or access features they request. Without certain essential technologies, parts of the platform may not function properly. Authentication and Account Security Cookies or session identifiers may help maintain authenticated sessions and protect against unauthorized access. They may support login functionality, session management, account protection, and security monitoring. Users should still take appropriate steps to protect their passwords and devices. Remembering Preferences Where supported, cookies or local storage may help remember preferences such as language, interface settings, or other choices. This may reduce the need to re-enter the same preferences during subsequent visits. Website Builder Functionality When users create or edit websites through BODOS, certain technologies may be needed to support the editing interface and related functionality. These technologies may help preserve session state, remember temporary settings, or support interactions with the website editor. Performance and Reliability Where appropriate tools are enabled, cookies and similar technologies may help us understand technical performance. This may include identifying errors, evaluating whether pages load correctly, or understanding how particular features perform. Analytics and Usage Measurement If analytics tools are enabled, cookies or similar technologies may help measure how visitors interact with BODOS. Depending on the tool, this may include information about page visits, general navigation patterns, session duration, or interactions with particular features. Analytics can help us understand how the platform is used and identify opportunities for improvement. Where applicable law requires consent for analytics cookies or similar technologies, we will obtain the necessary consent before using them. Fraud Prevention and Security Certain technologies may help detect suspicious activity, prevent abuse, identify automated attacks, and protect accounts or websites. These technologies may support security monitoring and the integrity of the platform. Marketing and Advertising If BODOS introduces or uses marketing or advertising technologies that store or access information on a user's device, we will provide the notices and consent mechanisms required by applicable law. Such technologies may be used to measure campaigns or understand interactions with promotional content. This policy does not mean that BODOS currently uses advertising cookies or targeted advertising tools. The final published policy should reflect the actual services and tracking technologies in use.
5. Categories of Cookies
Depending on the platform's configuration, cookies may fall into the following categories. Strictly Necessary Cookies These cookies support functions necessary to provide a service requested by the user or to operate the website securely. Possible examples include: Session management. Login authentication. Security protections. Load balancing. Access to requested account features. Maintaining certain essential technical states. Where permitted by law, strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent when they meet the applicable legal requirements. We will not treat a cookie as strictly necessary merely because it is useful to our business. Functional Cookies Functional cookies may help remember preferences or improve the user experience. Possible examples include: Language preferences. Interface preferences. Certain saved settings. Other optional convenience features. Where consent is required, these technologies will be used only after the appropriate consent has been obtained. Analytics Cookies Analytics cookies may help measure traffic, understand feature usage, and identify technical issues. Depending on the tool, information may include page visits, referral information, general device information, or interaction events. Analytics information may be aggregated or otherwise processed to understand general trends. Where applicable law requires consent, we will obtain consent before placing or accessing analytics cookies. Advertising Cookies Advertising cookies may be used by certain services to measure advertising effectiveness or support targeted advertising. BODOS will only describe and use advertising technologies that are actually implemented. Where advertising cookies are used and consent is legally required, they will not be activated before the relevant consent is obtained. Security Cookies Security-related technologies may help protect accounts, identify suspicious requests, and prevent malicious activity. Their classification depends on their actual purpose and the applicable legal requirements. A security purpose does not automatically exempt every technology from consent requirements.
6. Cookies Used by Websites Built with BODOS
BODOS allows users to create websites that may be visited by customers, clients, and members of the public. Depending on the features used, a BODOS-powered website may require cookies or similar technologies to support its functionality. For example, a website may use technologies to maintain a visitor's session, remember a preference, process a requested function, or support an integrated service. Website owners may also independently install third-party tools, including analytics, marketing, advertising, payment, or embedded-content integrations. When website owners add their own tools, they are responsible for determining which technologies those tools use and complying with the laws applicable to their websites. A website owner must not assume that BODOS's own Cookie Policy automatically covers every cookie or tracking technology used on that owner's website. If you operate a website through BODOS, you should: Identify the cookies and similar technologies used on your website. Determine which are essential and which are optional. Provide an appropriate cookie notice. Obtain consent where required. Provide a suitable way for visitors to manage their preferences. Review third-party providers' documentation. Update your privacy disclosures when your use of tracking technologies changes. BODOS may provide technical tools to support these responsibilities where available, but website owners remain responsible for their own legal compliance.
7. Third-Party Cookies and Services
Some features available through BODOS may depend on third-party services. Depending on the actual integrations enabled, these may include: Analytics providers. Security services. Payment processors. Video or other embedded-content providers. Customer support tools. Marketing platforms. Other technology providers. These services may use their own cookies or similar technologies. The information collected and the purposes of processing depend on the relevant provider and the configuration of the integration. Third-party services may operate under their own privacy policies and terms. Where BODOS integrates a third-party technology that requires consent, we will implement appropriate consent controls where required and within our control. Users should review the privacy and cookie information supplied by relevant third-party providers.
8. Personal Information Collected Through Cookies
Depending on the technology and its configuration, cookies or similar technologies may process information such as: Session identifiers. Authentication status. Language preferences. User interface settings. IP address or related technical information, where collected. Browser information. Device information. Website activity. Page access information. Referring website. Approximate location inferred from technical information, where supported. Security events. Performance information. Consent preferences. Not every cookie collects all these categories of information. Some cookies store a value that does not directly identify an individual. However, information collected through cookies may qualify as personal information when it can identify or relate to an individual under applicable law. For more information about how BODOS handles personal information, consult our Privacy Policy.
9. Legal Basis for Using Cookies
The rules governing cookies depend on the user's location, the technology involved, and the purpose for which it is used. Where applicable law requires consent before storing or accessing information on a user's device, BODOS will obtain that consent before activating the relevant technologies. Strictly necessary technologies may be exempt from consent where the applicable legal conditions are satisfied. Where personal information is processed through cookies, an additional legal basis may be required under applicable data protection law. Depending on the circumstances, that basis may include consent, performance of a requested service, compliance with legal obligations, or another lawful basis. The applicable legal basis will depend on the actual processing activity. Consent, where required, should be freely given, specific, informed, and capable of being withdrawn.
10. Your Cookie Choices
You may have several ways to manage cookies and similar technologies. Cookie Preference Settings Where BODOS provides a cookie preference tool, you may use it to accept or reject optional cookie categories and change your choices. The availability of particular settings will depend on the platform's implementation. Where consent is required, optional cookies should not be activated before consent is obtained. Where supported, you should be able to withdraw or change your consent without unreasonable difficulty. Browser Settings Most modern browsers allow users to control cookies through their settings. Depending on your browser, you may be able to: View stored cookies. Delete cookies. Block all cookies. Block third-party cookies. Allow cookies only for selected websites. Clear browsing data when closing the browser. The available options vary by browser and device. Effects of Disabling Cookies If you disable essential cookies or related technologies, some features may not work correctly. For example, you may experience problems signing in, maintaining sessions, saving preferences, or using certain interactive features. Blocking optional cookies may reduce analytics or personalization functionality without necessarily affecting the basic operation of the website. Changing Devices or Browsers Cookie preferences are often stored separately for each browser or device. If you use a different device, clear your browsing data, or switch browsers, you may need to set your preferences again.
11. How Long Cookies Last
Cookies may be session-based or persistent. Session cookies are generally removed when the relevant browsing session ends, depending on the browser and cookie configuration. Persistent cookies remain for a specified period or until deleted. The duration of a cookie depends on its purpose, configuration, provider, and applicable legal requirements. BODOS aims to ensure that cookies are not retained longer than reasonably necessary for their intended purpose. The exact duration of each cookie should be identified through a review of the technologies actually used by the platform. Where appropriate, we may provide a cookie inventory listing cookie names, providers, purposes, categories, and retention periods.
12. Do Not Track and Similar Signals
Some browsers offer privacy signals or settings intended to communicate user preferences concerning tracking. The legal meaning and technical handling of these signals may vary by jurisdiction and implementation. Where applicable law requires BODOS to recognize a particular privacy signal, we will comply with the relevant requirements. The availability of a browser setting does not necessarily mean that every website or third-party service will recognize it. We encourage users to review their browser privacy settings and the options provided by the relevant website.
13. Data Security and Cookies
Cookies and similar technologies may play a role in maintaining sessions and protecting platform functionality. However, cookies alone do not guarantee account security or protect every category of personal information. BODOS aims to implement appropriate safeguards for the systems supporting its services. Where appropriate, technical controls may include secure cookie attributes, session expiration, access controls, and other measures designed to reduce unauthorized access. The specific safeguards depend on the technology and service involved. Users should also protect their devices, avoid sharing login credentials, and report suspicious account activity promptly.
14. Children and Cookies
BODOS does not intend to use cookies or similar technologies to unlawfully collect personal information from children. Where a service is directed toward children or involves children's personal information, additional legal requirements may apply. Website owners using BODOS are responsible for assessing the rules applicable to their own websites and audiences. Where legally required, appropriate notices, consent mechanisms, and additional protections must be implemented.
15. International Data Transfers
Some providers of technologies used by websites may process information in countries other than the country where a user resides. If cookies or related technologies result in personal information being transferred internationally, applicable data protection requirements may apply. Where required, BODOS will implement appropriate safeguards for transfers within its responsibility and control. Third-party providers may have their own international processing arrangements, which should be explained in their privacy documentation.
16. Changes to This Cookie Policy
BODOS may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes may be made to reflect: New platform features. Changes in cookies or tracking technologies. New third-party integrations. Changes in applicable law. Changes in consent requirements. Updated privacy practices. Improvements to cookie management tools. When we update the policy, we will revise the “Last Updated” date. Where required by law, we will provide notice or obtain consent before implementing changes that require it. We encourage users to review this page periodically.
