Cookie Policy
Last Updated: January 15, 2025
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Best ROI Media LLC ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on bestroi.media and in the web versions of our Services, including Best Estimator and Catapult (collectively, the "Services").
This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, which provides more comprehensive information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. By using our Services, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this Cookie Policy.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners.
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as:
- Local Storage: A web storage mechanism that allows websites to store data locally in your browser. Unlike cookies, local storage data is not sent to the server with every request, but it persists on your device until you clear it.
- Session Storage: Similar to local storage, but data is only stored for the duration of your browser session and is deleted when you close the browser tab or window.
- Web Beacons: Small, invisible images or code snippets that may be used to track how you interact with our Services.
For the purposes of this policy, we refer to all of these technologies collectively as "cookies." Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device until they expire or you delete them) or "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser).
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use different types of cookies for various purposes:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Services to function properly and cannot be disabled in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as logging in or setting privacy preferences. These cookies enable:
- User authentication and login functionality
- Maintaining your session while you navigate the Services
- Security features that protect against unauthorized access
- Remembering your account information and login state
- Ensuring the security and integrity of your account sessions
Without these cookies, core features of the Services, such as logging in and accessing your account, will not work properly.
Preference Cookies
These cookies allow the Services to remember information that changes the way the Services behave or look, such as your preferred language, region, or interface preferences. These cookies enable:
- Remembering your interface preferences and settings
- Maintaining your display preferences across sessions
- Customizing your experience based on your preferences
These cookies are not strictly necessary for the Services to function, but they provide you with a more personalized and convenient experience.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Services by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We may use analytics cookies to:
- Understand how users navigate and use our Services
- Identify which features are most popular and which may need improvement
- Monitor system performance and identify technical issues
- Track error events and system reliability
We may use built-in analytics provided by Next.js and Vercel, or third-party analytics services such as Google Analytics, to collect this information. The data collected is aggregated and anonymized, and it does not personally identify you.
Third-Party Cookies
In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics and deliver content. These third-party cookies include:
- Stripe: When you access payment pages or complete transactions, Stripe may set cookies to process payments securely, prevent fraud, and manage your payment session. These cookies are essential for payment processing and are subject to Stripe's privacy policy.
- Supabase: We use Supabase for authentication and database services. Supabase may set cookies to manage authentication sessions, maintain your login state, and secure your account. These cookies are essential for the Services to function and are subject to Supabase's privacy policy.
These third-party cookies are subject to the respective third parties' privacy policies. We do not control these cookies, and we encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party services.
4. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies for several important reasons:
- To Keep You Logged In: Cookies enable us to maintain your authentication session, so you don't have to log in every time you visit or refresh a page. This provides a seamless and convenient user experience.
- To Secure Your Sessions: Cookies help us implement security measures that protect your account from unauthorized access, detect suspicious activity, and maintain the integrity of your sessions.
- To Understand System Performance: Analytics cookies help us monitor how our Services are performing, identify technical issues, track error rates, and understand usage patterns. This information helps us improve reliability and fix problems.
- To Improve Usability: Preference cookies remember your settings and preferences, making the Services easier and more efficient to use. They help us customize your experience based on your preferences.
- To Process Payments: Third-party cookies from Stripe are necessary to securely process payments, prevent fraud, and manage billing sessions.
We do not use cookies to track your browsing activity on other websites, and we do not sell your personal information to third parties.
