Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how BookTranslate.ai ("we", "us", "our"), operated by Táborszki Bálint EV, uses cookies and similar technologies (like local storage) on our website booktranslate.ai (the "Site"). This policy explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them. This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy.

2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owners.

Similar technologies include local storage and session storage, which allow websites to store small amounts of data in your browser for functionality purposes. Throughout this policy, "cookies" will refer to both cookies and these similar technologies.

3. How and Why We Use Cookies

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Site to operate, and we refer to these as "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and understand the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and improve the user experience on our Site.

3.1. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These are cookies essential for you to navigate the Site and use its features. They are necessary for the service to function and cannot be switched off in our systems.

• Authentication and Session Management: To keep you securely logged into your account and manage your session as you use our services.
• Payment Processing (Stripe): Our third-party payment processor, Stripe, sets cookies that are essential for processing payments securely and for fraud prevention. For more information, please see Stripe's Cookie Policy.

3.2. Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information that is used in aggregate form to help us understand how our website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are.

• Vercel Analytics: We use Vercel Analytics to gather anonymized, aggregate data about site traffic (e.g., page views, referrers). It does not use cookies to track individual users across sessions.
• Google Ads (Aggregate Reporting): When consent is given, Google Ads uses cookies to compile performance reports on our advertising campaigns.

3.3. Advertising Cookies (Google Ads)

These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. We use Google Ads to bring our services to the attention of potential new users. If you provide consent, these cookies perform functions like:

• Conversion Tracking: Connecting activity on our Site (like creating a translation project) back to the ad that you clicked on. This helps us understand which ads are effective and ensures we use our marketing budget efficiently.
• Campaign Optimization: The data from these cookies helps Google's systems find other potential users who might be interested in our services, based on anonymized and aggregated data.

4. Your Choices and Managing Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences through the consent management banner provided by Cookiebot, which appears on your first visit to our Site.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time. The consent banner allows you to select which categories of cookies you consent to. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be rejected as they are essential to providing you with our services.

Most web browsers also allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set, visit www.aboutcookies.org.

5. Detailed Cookie Declaration

For a detailed, up-to-date list of the specific cookies our Site uses, please see the declaration below, provided and automatically updated by our consent management platform, Cookiebot.

6. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will post any changes on this page and update the "Last updated" date at the top.
