This Cookies Policy explains how Bildfie uses cookies and similar technologies on the website and in the app, why, and how you can control them. It should be read with our Privacy Policy.
1.What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies include the browser's local storage and session storage, which keep small pieces of information on your device. Some cookies last only until you close the browser (session cookies); others stay for a set time (persistent cookies).
2.Cookies we always use
| Name | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|
bildfie_session | Keeps you signed in as you move between pages; carries the security token that protects forms. | Until you close the browser or sign out |
bildfie_remember | "Keep me signed in": a coded token so you stay signed in on this device. Signing out removes it. | Up to 90 days |
bf_cc | Remembers whether you accepted or declined optional cookies, so we do not ask again. | 1 year |
bf_tz | Your time zone, so times such as "5 minutes ago" are right. | Session |
bildfie_admin, bf_mpass | Staff only: the staff sign-in, and a pass that lets staff use the site during maintenance. | Session / 2 days |
3.Storage that remembers your preferences
| Name | What it does |
|---|---|
bf_saved, bf_following | Items you saved and companies you follow before signing in. |
bfHomeTab, workspace tabs | The tab you last opened, so the page opens where you left it. |
| Chat drafts and recent emoji | An unsent message you were writing, and the emoji you use most. |
bf_ads_seen | Which of our own promotions you have already seen, so they are not repeated too often. |
You can clear this storage at any time in your browser settings.
4.Analytics, only if you accept
When you choose Accept in the cookie window, we may load Google Analytics, which sets its own cookies (such as _ga, kept up to 2 years) to count visits and see which pages are used, in summary. We do not load it if you choose Decline, or if your browser sends a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal.
5.Advertising cookies
Bildfie does not currently use advertising cookies from partners. Adverts and promoted listings shown today come from members and are served by Bildfie itself (Advertising Policy). If we add an advertising partner, we will update this policy and ask for your consent before their cookies are used.
6.In the Bildfie app
The Bildfie app stores a sign-in token in your phone's secure storage, your settings, and a push-notification token so we can send you alerts you asked for. Removing the app or signing out deletes them from your phone.
7.How to control cookies
- Cookie window: choose Accept or Decline. To change your choice, clear the
bf_cccookie (or all cookies for Bildfie) and the window appears again. - Browser settings: every browser lets you see, block and delete cookies. Blocking essential cookies stops sign-in from working.
- Do Not Track / Global Privacy Control: we respect both for analytics.
- Google Analytics opt-out: Google offers a browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
