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 should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy.

By continuing to use our Site, you acknowledge our use of essential cookies and similar technologies as described in this 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 are committed to user privacy and aim to use minimal cookies. We do not use cookies for targeted advertising or extensive user tracking. The cookies we use fall into the "strictly necessary" category, essential for the operation of our Site and the provision of our services.

3.1. Strictly Necessary Cookies (First-Party)

These are cookies set directly by BookTranslate.ai that are essential for you to navigate the Site and use its features, such as:

• Authentication and Session Management: To keep you securely logged into your account and manage your session as you use the Service. Without these, you would not be able to log in or maintain your session. (Typically session cookies)
• Core Site Functionality: We may use local storage or session storage to remember your preferences or settings that are essential for the Site to function correctly during your visit (e.g., user interface preferences within a session).

3.2. Third-Party Cookies (Essential for Services You Use)

Some essential functionalities are provided by third parties, who may set their own cookies:

• Payment Processing (Stripe): When you make a payment, our third-party payment processor, Stripe, sets cookies. These cookies are essential for processing your payments securely and for fraud prevention. Stripe may set cookies for all visitors to assist with fraud detection and prevention, which is a critical aspect of providing a secure payment environment. For more information on Stripe's cookies, please refer to Stripe's Cookie Policy.

4. Analytics (Vercel Analytics)

To understand how our Site is generally used and to improve its performance, we use Vercel Analytics. This service is designed to be privacy-focused:

• It collects anonymized, aggregate data about site traffic (e.g., page views, referrers, country of origin).
• It does not use cookies to track individual users across different websites or sessions for its analytics data collection. No personal data is collected or stored for these analytics purposes, and individual users cannot be identified.

5. Your Choices and Managing Cookies

Because the cookies we use are strictly necessary for the operation of our Site and the provision of our services (including secure payments), there is no option to selectively disable them through a consent banner without significantly impairing or breaking the Site's functionality.

Most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. You can typically find these settings in the 'options' or 'preferences' menu of your browser. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies. However, please be aware that blocking or deleting strictly necessary cookies will likely prevent our Site from functioning correctly, and you may not be able to access all or parts of our Site or use our services.

To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set, visit www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.

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.
