What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Beffer uses cookies to keep the platform secure, manage sessions and, when you consent, improve product performance and campaign measurement.
Legal Basis (UK GDPR + PECR)
Essential cookies are always on because they are required for security and core service delivery. Analytics, marketing and preference cookies are optional and are only enabled after consent. You can change or withdraw consent at any time from the cookie controls shown in the interface.
Cookie Categories We Use

These are required for account security, fraud prevention, and payment/session reliability.

4. Preference Cookies (Optional)
Preference cookies remember non-essential UI choices to improve usability. They are optional and can be disabled at any time.
Third-Party Processors

Stripe may set cookies required for secure checkout and fraud prevention when you make payments.
Managing or Withdrawing Consent
You can change cookie preferences at any time using the in-app cookie controls. Updates apply immediately. Your preference selection is stored in your browser and we record consent events server-side where technically available.
- Choose “Essential only” to disable all optional categories
- Choose “Customize” to set category-level preferences
- Choose “Accept all” to enable all categories
Retention and Logging
Consent evidence includes timestamp, policy version and category settings. Request metadata is recorded when available, and if server logging is temporarily unavailable your saved browser preference remains enforced.
Updates to This Policy
We update this policy when cookie usage changes. If a material change occurs, you are prompted to review and reconfirm preferences against the new policy version.
