How Boba.guide uses cookies and similar technologies.
This policy explains what cookies are, why they may be used on Boba.guide, which categories may apply and how visitors can manage available choices.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file stored on a browser or device when a website is visited. Cookies and related technologies can remember settings, maintain security, measure usage, support site features and help services understand whether a visitor completed a particular action.
Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, scripts, local storage, software development kits and device identifiers. In this policy, the word “cookies” may refer collectively to these technologies unless a specific distinction is necessary.
What types of cookies may be used?
Strictly necessary cookies
These support basic site operation, security, fraud prevention, network management, consent settings and other functions that may be required for the website to work.
Preference cookies
These may remember language, display, accessibility, consent or other choices so the site can provide a more consistent experience.
Analytics cookies
These may help measure page views, traffic sources, navigation paths, engagement, device categories and general website performance.
Advertising cookies
These may help deliver, limit, personalize or measure advertisements where advertising services are enabled and legally permitted.
Affiliate cookies
Retailers or affiliate platforms may use identifiers to recognize that a visitor reached a product or service through a Boba.guide referral link.
Embedded-content cookies
Videos, maps, social content, forms or other external features may set cookies according to the practices of the provider supplying the embedded service.
Who may place cookies?
First-party cookies are set by Boba.guide or its technical infrastructure. Third-party cookies are set by independent providers such as analytics platforms, advertising networks, retailers, affiliate services, embedded-content providers or security services.
Third-party providers control their own cookies and process information under their own terms and privacy notices. Their practices may change independently of Boba.guide.
How long can cookies remain?
Session cookies generally expire when a browser session ends. Persistent cookies may remain for a defined period or until they are deleted, depending on their purpose and the provider’s settings.
Retention periods may vary according to security requirements, consent settings, analytics configuration, advertising rules and affiliate attribution windows.
What purposes may cookies support?
- Keep the website secure and functioning correctly
- Remember consent and other visitor preferences
- Understand which pages are useful and how visitors navigate
- Measure errors, speed, uptime and technical performance
- Prevent spam, abuse, fraud and unauthorized activity
- Measure advertising impressions, clicks or conversions
- Attribute qualifying purchases or referrals to affiliate links
- Support embedded tools, maps, videos, forms or social features
Cookie use may change as the site develops
Boba.guide is a growing website. Not every category described here must be active at all times. This policy is written to cover services that may be introduced later, but the actual consent banner and provider settings should reflect the technologies currently enabled.
How can visitors manage cookies?
Consent controls
Where a consent tool is available, visitors may be able to accept, reject or adjust non-essential cookie categories.
Browser settings
Most browsers allow users to block, delete or limit cookies and to control how websites handle local storage or tracking technologies.
Device controls
Mobile devices and operating systems may provide additional privacy, advertising or tracking settings.
Provider opt-outs
Some analytics, advertising and industry organizations provide their own opt-out or preference tools.
Do Not Track signals
Browser-based Do Not Track signals are not interpreted consistently across the web. Boba.guide may not respond to every such signal unless required by applicable law.
Global privacy signals
Where required and technically supported, recognized privacy preference signals may be processed according to applicable law and configured services.
What happens when cookies are disabled?
Blocking all cookies may affect security features, saved preferences, consent records, forms, embedded content or other parts of the website. Some functions may not work as intended.
Rejecting non-essential cookies should not prevent access to ordinary editorial content, although third-party features may remain unavailable.
How may analytics cookies be used?
Analytics services may help us understand readership, traffic sources, page performance, navigation patterns and technical problems. Information may be aggregated or associated with online identifiers, depending on the provider and configuration.
Analytics settings should be configured to collect only the information reasonably needed for site measurement and improvement.
How may advertising cookies be used?
If advertising is enabled, providers may use cookies to measure impressions, frequency, interactions and conversions. Depending on consent, law and provider settings, advertising may be contextual or personalized.
Advertising partners may combine site interaction data with information collected through other websites or services under their own privacy practices.
How may referral cookies work?
When a visitor follows an affiliate link, a retailer or affiliate network may store an identifier that records the referral. If a qualifying transaction occurs within the provider’s attribution period, Boba.guide may receive compensation.
The presence of an affiliate identifier does not change the price charged by Boba.guide, and qualifying conditions are controlled by the external provider.
How can this policy change?
This policy may be updated when cookies, providers, consent tools, legal requirements or site features change. The revision date will be updated when a new version is published.
Visitors should review the current cookie settings and this policy periodically, especially after new advertising, analytics or embedded services are introduced.
