Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how BarBud, Inc. ("BarBud", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at barbud.net and use our offline-first management platform. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, BarBud) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., like advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our platform to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our platform. Third parties serve cookies through our platform for analytics and other purposes.

• Essential Cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our platform and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the platform to you, you cannot refuse them.
• Performance and Functionality Cookies: These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our platform but are non-essential to their use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality (like videos) may become unavailable.
• Analytics and Customization Cookies: These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our platform is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our platform for you.

In some special cases, we also use cookies provided by trusted third parties. The following section details which third-party cookies you might encounter through this site.

• This site uses third-party analytics solutions (e.g., Google Analytics) to help us understand how you use the site and ways that we can improve your experience. These cookies may track things such as how long you spend on the site and the pages that you visit so we can continue to produce engaging content.
• We also use third-party tools to help us deliver customer support, which may require setting cookies to maintain your session and chat history.

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager. The Cookie Consent Manager allows you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.

In addition, 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 areas of our website may be restricted. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.

The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
