Cookie Policy
Effective Date: March 4, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Bingenuity (“we,” “our,” or “us”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit or use the Bingenuity platform (the “Service”). This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional detail on how we collect, use, and protect your information.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website or use an online service. Cookies allow the site to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and provide functionality. Some cookies are essential for the site to work, while others help us understand how you use the Service or allow third parties to deliver advertising.
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as web beacons (small transparent images embedded in web pages), pixels, and local storage to collect information about how you interact with the Service.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
2a. Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)
These cookies are required for the Service to function properly. They enable core features such as user authentication, session management, security protections, and cookie consent preferences. Essential cookies cannot be disabled without significantly impacting your ability to use the Service.
2b. Analytics Cookies
We use an internal analytics tool to understand how users interact with the Service, including which pages are visited, which features are used, and how performance can be improved. Our analytics system does not use third-party tracking services. Analytics data is collected in aggregate and is not linked to individual user identities.
2c. Advertising & Affiliate Cookies
Bingenuity displays advertising and affiliate links to support the operation of the Service. Third-party advertising and affiliate partners may place cookies on your device to deliver relevant advertisements, track ad performance, and attribute affiliate purchases. These cookies may collect information about your browsing activity across websites.
Google AdSense may use cookies such as the DoubleClick cookie (IDE) and Google advertising cookies to serve ads based on your browsing history. Amazon Associates uses cookies to attribute purchases made through affiliate links to Bingenuity. For additional details, see the privacy policies of these providers:
- Google AdSense: policies.google.com/technologies/ads
- Amazon Associates: affiliate-program.amazon.com/help/operating/policies
2d. Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember your preferences and settings to enhance your experience on the Service. These cookies are not strictly necessary but improve usability, including display preferences such as theme and layout settings, PWA installation status, and notification preferences.
3. Cookie Consent
When you first visit Bingenuity, a cookie consent banner will be displayed allowing you to accept or manage your cookie preferences. You may choose to:
- Accept all cookies.
- Accept only essential cookies (which are required for the Service to function).
- Customize your preferences by enabling or disabling specific cookie categories (analytics, advertising, functional).
You may update your cookie preferences at any time by visiting the Cookie Settings page, accessible from the footer of the Service.
Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Service. Essential cookies cannot be disabled.
4. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
In addition to the cookie consent controls provided by Bingenuity, you can manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View and delete existing cookies.
- Block all cookies or only third-party cookies.
- Set preferences for specific websites.
Please note that blocking all cookies may impair your ability to use certain features of the Service, including login and session management.
5. Opting Out of Interest-Based Advertising
If you prefer not to receive interest-based advertising, you may opt out through the following industry resources:
- Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA): www.aboutads.info/choices
- Network Advertising Initiative (NAI): www.networkadvertising.org/choices
- Google Ad Settings: adssettings.google.com
Please note that opting out of interest-based advertising does not mean you will no longer see ads on Bingenuity. You will still see non-targeted advertisements.
6. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing activity not be tracked. Bingenuity currently does not respond to DNT signals. Regardless of your DNT setting, you may manage your cookie preferences through the controls described in this policy.
7. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on the Service are placed by third parties, including advertising networks and affiliate partners. Bingenuity does not control these third-party cookies and is not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of these third parties:
- Google: policies.google.com/privacy
- Amazon: amazon.com/privacy
8. Data Collected Through Cookies
Information collected through cookies may include:
- IP address and approximate geographic location.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages visited and features used within the Service.
- Referring URL and search terms.
- Date and time of visits.
- Interactions with advertisements and affiliate links.
For more information on how this data is used, stored, and protected, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
9. Cookie Retention
Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for the duration specified in the descriptions above or until you delete them manually.
We periodically review our cookie usage and retention periods to ensure they remain appropriate and proportionate.
10. Updates to This Cookie Policy
Bingenuity reserves the right to update or modify this Cookie Policy at any time. Changes will be reflected by an updated effective date at the top of this document. If we make material changes to how we use cookies, we will notify users through the cookie consent banner or a prominent notice on the platform.
Continued use of the Service following any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Cookie Policy.
