Last Updated: May 18, 2026

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit — such as your login status and preferences — and are widely used to make websites function correctly and provide a better experience.

2. How We Use Cookies

BAP uses cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Authenticate users and maintain secure sessions
  • Remember user preferences and settings
  • Identify and diagnose technical errors
  • Improve platform performance and reliability

Examples: Authentication tokens, session management, security features

These cookies cannot be disabled as they are essential for platform operation.

Purpose: Remember your preferences and choices across sessions

Examples: Display settings, form state preservation

3.3 Analytics Cookies

Purpose: Help us understand how users interact with the platform so we can improve it

Tools Used: Vercel Analytics

Analytics data is aggregated and does not identify individual users.

3.4 Error Tracking and Session Replay

Purpose: Help us identify and fix technical issues on the platform

Tools Used: Sentry (error tracking and session replay)

Session replays are configured to exclude sensitive information such as payment details and passwords.

4. Managing Cookies

4.1 Browser Settings

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can:

  • View and delete existing cookies
  • Block all or third-party cookies
  • Clear cookies when you close your browser
  • Receive notifications before cookies are stored

4.2 Browser-Specific Instructions

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
  • Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data
  • Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data

4.3 Impact of Disabling Cookies

Disabling essential cookies will affect platform functionality. For example:

  • Your preferences may not be saved between sessions
  • Some platform features may not work correctly

5. Other Tracking Technologies

5.1 Local Storage

We may use HTML5 local storage to temporarily preserve form data, improving your experience when creating or editing events.

5.2 Session Replay

We use Sentry's session replay to understand user interactions and identify technical issues. Session replays are configured to exclude sensitive information such as payment details and passwords.

6. Do Not Track

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you prefer not to be tracked. There is currently no industry standard for responding to these signals. As such, BAP does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal or operational reasons. Material changes will be communicated by posting an updated policy on the platform with a new "Last Updated" date.
