Cookie Policy
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser; local storage is a similar place in the browser where an app keeps settings. This page lists everything Bridely stores in your browser and why. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.
1. In short
- Almost everything we store is strictly necessary: it keeps you signed in, remembers your language and theme, and lets forms work. These do not need your consent.
- Google Analytics is the only optional technology. It starts only after you click "Allow analytics" in the cookie banner, and you can change your mind at any time.
- Payment happens on Stripe's pages, which use their own cookies. Bot protection (Cloudflare Turnstile) loads only on the forms where it is used. Fonts and the map library are served from our own server.
