1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners useful information about how their site is used.
Cookies can be "first-party" (set by our website) or "third-party" (set by other websites or services we use). They may also be "session" cookies (temporary, deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remain until they expire or you delete them).
2. How We Use Cookies
Brothers Digital uses cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
- Essential cookies: Required for the website to function properly, including session management and theme preference
- Analytics cookies: Used only when analytics is enabled, to understand how visitors use our site and improve our services
- No advertising cookies: We do not use cookies for advertising or third-party tracking purposes
For more information about how we collect and use personal information, please see our Privacy Policy.
3. Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be disabled. They include:
- Theme preference (bd-theme): Stored in localStorage (a similar technology to cookies), this preference remembers whether you have selected light or dark mode so you don't have to reset it each time you visit
- Session management: Cookies that enable you to stay logged in and maintain your session as you navigate through the Service
Without these cookies, certain features of the site may not work correctly.
4. Analytics Cookies
When analytics is enabled on our platform, we may use analytics cookies such as Google Analytics to:
- Understand how visitors find and use our website
- Measure traffic and usage patterns
- Improve our website and services based on user behaviour
When we use analytics, we configure it to anonymize IP addresses where possible. Analytics cookies are only used when analytics functionality is explicitly enabled. We do not use analytics cookies for advertising or to build profiles for marketing purposes.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Some third-party services we use may set their own cookies. For example:
- Google Fonts: We may use Google Fonts to display certain fonts on our website. Google Fonts may set cookies when fonts are loaded. You can view Google's privacy policy for more information about how they handle data.
We do not control third-party cookies. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these third parties if you have concerns about their use of cookies.
6. Managing Cookies
You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
- Browser settings: Most web browsers allow you to refuse or accept cookies, and to delete cookies that have already been set. You can typically find these options in your browser's Settings, Preferences, or Options menu.
- Browser-specific instructions: For detailed instructions on how to manage cookies in your browser, please visit:
Please note that disabling or blocking certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website and your ability to use certain features.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. We will post the updated policy on this page and update the effective date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically for any changes.
