Cookie Policy
Last updated: 2026-06-15
This Cookie Policy explains how BookBridge uses cookies and similar technologies. In short: we use only what is needed to make the site work and keep it secure. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. They let a site remember things between pages and visits — for example, that you are signed in. We also use your browser’s local storage for a small preference (your chosen language).
The cookies we use
We use a small number of strictly necessary cookies and one local-storage preference. Without the essential ones the site cannot work properly:
- bb_session (cookie) — keeps you signed in as you move between pages. Strictly necessary; expires when your session ends or after a set period.
- bb_csrf (cookie) — protects forms and requests against cross-site request forgery. Strictly necessary.
- bb_lang (local storage) — remembers your chosen language (English or Georgian). Preference only; not used for tracking.
- A short cookie-consent record — remembers that you acknowledged this notice, so we don’t show it on every visit.
No advertising or cross-site tracking
We do not use advertising cookies, profiling analytics, or third-party trackers, and we do not sell your data. Map tiles are loaded from OpenStreetMap only when you view a map; your IP address is visible to that provider as part of delivering the tiles.
How to control cookies
You are in control:
- Most browsers let you view, block, and delete cookies in their settings.
- Blocking essential cookies may stop you from signing in or completing a donation.
- Signing out clears your session cookie; clearing site data removes the language and consent records.
