Cookie Policy

Effective April 2, 2026 · Last updated April 2, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how BarbellBae (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our websites and web-accessible services. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal information more broadly.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device. Similar technologies include pixels, tags, and local storage. They help websites remember preferences, keep you signed in, understand how pages are used, and improve security.

2. Types of cookies we use

  • Essential cookies — Required for the Service to function, for example to maintain your session, authenticate you, route requests securely, and protect against fraud and abuse. The Service cannot work properly without these.
  • Functional cookies — Remember choices such as language or display preferences where we offer those options.
  • Analytics cookies — Help us understand aggregate usage (for example, which pages load slowly) so we can improve performance and features. We only use analytics cookies if we deploy them and, where required, after you consent.

3. First-party and third-party cookies

We set first-party cookies directly. Third-party cookies may be set by partners who provide infrastructure, security, or analytics services. Those partners process data in accordance with their policies and our agreements with them.

4. Session and persistent cookies

Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until you delete them, for example to remember login state when you choose “stay signed in.”

5. Your choices

You can control cookies in several ways:

  • Browser settings — Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the Service from working.
  • Our tools — Where we provide a cookie banner or preference center, you can adjust non-essential cookies there.
  • Industry opt-outs — For interest-based advertising (if we use it), you may use programs such as the Digital Advertising Alliance or Your Online Choices (EU), where available.

6. Do Not Track

There is no consistent industry standard for “Do Not Track” browser signals. We may not respond to all such signals until standards clarify how to apply them.

7. Changes

We may update this Cookie Policy when our practices change. We will post the updated version here and revise the “Last updated” date.

8. Contact

Questions about this Cookie Policy can be directed to us through the contact method listed on the BarbellBae website or app.
