Last updated: 1 June 2025 · Effective: 1 June 2025
Bechmaaro uses cookies and similar technologies on our website to make the platform work, to understand how you use it, and to remember your preferences. This page explains what cookies we use, why, and how you can control them. Our mobile app does not use browser cookies — it uses secure local storage for session management.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide useful features, and give site owners information about how the site is used. Cookies set by the website owner (Bechmaaro) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by third parties (like our payment processor) are called "third-party cookies".
