Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 2026
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, keep you signed in, and understand how you interact with the site. Similar technologies — such as pixels, local storage, and session storage — serve comparable purposes and are also covered by this policy.
2. How We Use Cookies
Braiv uses cookies to operate our website, remember your consent preferences, analyze how visitors use our site, and support marketing and affiliate programs. We group cookies into categories based on their purpose.
Some cookies are strictly necessary for the website and web application to function and are always active. This includes cookies used for sign-in, payment security, and fraud prevention on app.braiv.co. All other categories require your consent before they are placed on your device. You can accept or reject each category through our consent banner when you first visit the site, or change your preferences at any time using the "Manage Preferences" link in our website footer.
3. Regional Consent Approach
We use IP-based geolocation to tailor our cookie consent experience to your region. If you are in France, we apply the strictest settings: no analytics or marketing scripts load until you make an active choice. In other European Economic Area countries, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Brazil, we show a consent banner and use limited, cookieless measurement (which sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device) until you make a choice. In all other regions, analytics and marketing cookies are enabled by default. Regardless of your region, you can change your preferences at any time using the "Manage Preferences" link in our website footer, or by enabling Global Privacy Control (GPC) in your browser. When we cannot determine your location, we apply the strictest settings.
What happens when you opt out or reject cookies: When you reject analytics cookies (via our consent banner or footer link), we stop setting cookies on your device and do not use any persistent identifiers. In most regions, we continue to collect limited, anonymous measurement data that cannot identify you — this data contains no cookies, no user identifiers, and is used solely to monitor whether our services are functioning correctly. In France, rejecting cookies stops all measurement entirely. To disable all measurement globally, including anonymous signals, enable Global Privacy Control (GPC) in your browser, which we honour as a complete opt-out.

5. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third-party services that appear on our pages, such as Stripe (payment security and fraud prevention on our web application), Google Analytics, PostHog, Intercom, Tolt, and Sentry. These providers may also use cookies to deliver their services across other websites. We do not control third-party cookies, and their use is governed by each provider's own privacy policy. Stripe's privacy policy is available at stripe.com/privacy.
6. Managing Your Preferences
You can manage your cookie preferences in the following ways:
- Consent banner: When you first visit our website, a banner allows you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your choices by category.
- Manage Preferences: Click the "Manage Preferences" link in our website footer at any time to update your consent choices.
- Global Privacy Control (GPC): If your browser sends a GPC signal, we treat it as an opt-out of non-essential cookies and the sale or sharing of personal information, in accordance with applicable privacy laws.
Changes to your preferences take effect immediately. Necessary cookies cannot be disabled because they are required for the website to function.
