Cookie Policy

This policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies, and how you can control them where possible.

Last updated April 13, 2026

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We also use similar technologies such as local storage and pixels ("cookies" for short) for authentication, preferences, security, and analytics.

2. How we use cookies

2.1 Strictly necessary

Required for core functionality such as logging in, session security, load balancing, and fraud prevention. These cannot be disabled without affecting the Service.

2.2 Preferences

Remember choices you make—such as theme (light/dark), language, or UI settings—so the experience stays consistent across visits.

2.3 Analytics (if enabled)

Help us understand aggregate usage—such as which pages are visited and how features perform—so we can improve the product. Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before using non-essential analytics cookies.

3. Third-party cookies

Some features may rely on trusted providers (for example, authentication or infrastructure partners). Those providers may set their own cookies subject to their privacy notices. We aim to minimize third-party tracking on marketing pages.

4. Duration

Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until you delete them. Typical retention for preference cookies is up to twelve months unless a longer period is needed for security or legal compliance.

5. Your choices

  • Browser settings: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of BuildTrail from working.
  • Opt-out tools: Industry opt-out pages may apply to interest-based advertising where we use such partners in the future.

6. Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy when our practices change. Check the "Last updated" date and review our Privacy Policy for broader data practices.
