This page should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

Where required by law, we will request consent for non-essential cookies. You can also control cookies through your browser settings.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the Site remember your actions, session, preferences, and settings over time.

We may also use similar technologies, such as local storage, pixels, tags, session storage, or device identifiers, for similar purposes, including security, analytics, performance, fraud prevention, preferences, and site functionality.

2. How We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Remember your settings and preferences, such as login session, basic directory filters, search preferences, dashboard settings, visibility choices, and saved feature states.
  • Help keep your session secure and prevent fraud, spam, unauthorized access, or abuse.
  • Operate core site features, including account access, dashboard tools, forms, moderation workflows, verification workflows, contact tools, opportunity tools, messaging tools, and saved items where enabled.
  • Support search and browsing functionality, including search filters, recent search behavior, result interactions, and user experience improvements.
  • Understand how visitors use the Site through analytics and performance monitoring.
  • Measure and improve performance, including page load times, error monitoring, and feature reliability.

We do not use cookies for consumer-style behavioral advertising.

Analytics data is typically aggregated or analyzed to improve the Services, platform reliability, search quality, user experience, and business-facing features.

If we use third-party analytics tools, such as Google Analytics or similar providers, those providers may set their own cookies and process data under their own policies.

We do not use analytics cookies to build consumer advertising profiles.

3.4 Third-Party Functionality Cookies

Some features may rely on third-party tools or embedded services. These providers may set their own cookies or collect information according to their own privacy policies.

Examples may include:

  • Maps or location tools.
  • Embedded video platforms, if company video URLs or media embeds are enabled.
  • Analytics and performance tools.
  • Security, spam-prevention, or fraud-prevention tools.
  • Email, support, hosting, or infrastructure tools that help operate the Services.

BevAtlas does not control third-party cookies after they are set by third-party services.

  • Device and browser information.
  • IP address, which may be processed in a limited or truncated form depending on configuration.
  • Pages visited.
  • Referring URLs.
