Last updated: January 2025

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Ballee ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website and platform. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides more information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal data.

By using our Platform, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies, you should disable cookies in your browser settings or refrain from using our Platform.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners.

Cookies allow a website to recognize your device and store some information about your preferences or past actions. This helps us provide you with a better experience when you browse our Platform and allows certain features to function properly.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

3.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the Platform to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. You cannot opt-out of these cookies as they are essential for the Platform to work.

  • Authentication cookies: Remember that you are logged in and who you are, so you don't need to log in on every page
  • Security cookies: Help protect against security threats and unauthorized access
  • Session cookies: Maintain your session while you navigate through the Platform

3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Platform by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This helps us improve the way our Platform works. We use services such as Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics purposes.

  • Track which pages are visited most frequently
  • Monitor error messages and page load times
  • Understand how users navigate through the Platform
  • Analyze user behavior and preferences
  • Measure the effectiveness of features and content

3.3 Functionality Cookies

These cookies allow the Platform to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or region) and provide enhanced, personalized features.

  • Remember your preferences and settings
  • Remember information you've entered in forms
  • Provide personalized content and features

3.4 Targeting/Advertising Cookies

These cookies may be set through our Platform by our advertising partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant content on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

4. Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics of the Platform, deliver advertisements, and so on. These third parties may include:

  • Analytics providers: We use services such as Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager to help us understand how our Platform is used, track user interactions, and improve our services
  • Authentication providers: To enable secure login and authentication
  • Content delivery networks: To improve Platform performance and deliver content efficiently

These third parties may use cookies to collect information about your online activities across different websites. We do not control these third-party cookies, and you should check the third party's website for more information about their use of cookies.

5. How Long Do Cookies Stay on My Device?

The length of time a cookie stays on your device depends on whether it is a "persistent" or "session" cookie:

  • Session cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. They typically last for the duration of your browsing session.
  • Persistent cookies: These remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They are activated each time you visit the Platform. Most persistent cookies on our Platform expire after 12 months, though some may last up to 24 months for analytics purposes.

Specific Cookie Retention Periods:

  • Authentication cookies: Session-based (deleted when browser closes) or up to 30 days for "Remember me" functionality
  • Analytics cookies: Up to 24 months (Google Analytics, Segment)
  • Preference cookies: Up to 12 months
  • Security cookies: Session-based or up to 1 year

7. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no standard for how DNT signals should be interpreted, and our Platform does not currently respond to DNT browser signals or mechanisms.

However, you can control tracking through the cookie consent management options described in Section 6, and by adjusting your browser settings as outlined in Section 6.1.

8. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
