01Introduction
At buzzParade, we believe in keeping our website fast,
secure, and transparent. Unlike many modern websites, we do not use bloated third-party cookie
consent platforms. Instead, we manage our cookies directly and regularly to ensure maximum
privacy, minimal tracking, and peak site performance.
This policy explains what cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
02 What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device when you visit a website. They
allow the site to remember your actions and preferences over time so you don't have to re-enter
them whenever you return or browse from one page to another.
03 The Cookies We Use & Why
Because we build custom solutions, we limit our cookie usage to the bare minimum required to keep
our services running smoothly. We categorize our cookies into three simple areas:
- Essential Cookies (First-Party): These are strictly necessary to provide
you with services available through our website (e.g., maintaining your logged-in session,
securing forms against cross-site request forgery, or remembering if you have already
dismissed our cookie banner).
- Performance & Analytics: We use lightweight analytics tools to see
which pages are popular and how visitors move around our site. This helps us optimize our
loading speeds and content.
- Functional Preferences: These remember choices you make, such as your
preferred language or region, to provide a more personalized experience.
04 Our Custom Implementation
Privacy-First Engineering: Because we collect and manage cookies in our own
custom way, we ensure that:
- We do not sell, rent, or share your cookie data with third-party advertisers.
- Your browsing behavior is not tracked across unrelated websites.
- We use industry-standard encryption and security protocols to store any custom session
tokens.
05How You Can Control Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies.
- Browser Controls: You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept
or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though
your access to some functionality and secure areas of our platform may be restricted.
- Managing Custom Sessions: If you wish to clear your custom session cookies
from our site immediately, you can clear your browser's site data or cache at any time.
