cookie policy

What cookies are, why Bu. uses them, and what they do and do not do.

Last updated: June 2026

Cookies are not complicated. Here is how Bu. uses them.

Most websites and apps use cookies and similar storage and access technologies. Bu. is no different. This page explains what they are, why Bu. uses them, and what they do and do not do.

We have kept this as straightforward as possible because cookie policies do not need to be confusing. If you have a question that this page does not answer, reach us at contact@buapp.info.

What cookies are

A cookie is a small piece of information that a website saves to your device when you visit it. Apps work slightly differently. The Bu. app uses session and local-storage technologies on your device rather than browser cookies, but the principle is the same: a small amount of information is stored so the service can work properly.

These technologies help services remember things. They are how a platform knows you are still signed in when you come back to it. They are how an app remembers a preference you have set without asking every time.

On their own, these are just small pieces of stored information. What matters is what they are used for. This page explains exactly what Bu. uses them for.

Why Bu. uses cookies

The Bu. app uses essential session and local-storage technologies. The Bu. website may use cookies or similar browser-storage technologies. Both are used for a small number of specific purposes:

Authentication and session management. Without these technologies, Bu. would not know who you are from one session to the next. You would have to sign in every single time you opened the app.

Storing choices you have asked us to remember. Where you set a preference, Bu. can store that choice so you do not have to set it again each time.

Account and service security. Certain stored information plays a role in protecting your account and keeping the service secure.

Types of cookies Bu. uses

Essential cookies

These are necessary for Bu. to function. Without them, core features like signing in, accessing your account, and using the platform simply would not work.

They handle things like:

Sign-in sessions, so Bu. knows you are signed in. Account and service security, helping to protect your account from unauthorised access. Core platform functionality, making sure the basic features of Bu. operate correctly. Storing choices or preferences you have asked us to remember.

Because these are essential to the service, they cannot be switched off without affecting your ability to use Bu.

What we do not use cookies for

This matters, so we want to be clear about it.

Bu. does not use these technologies for advertising. Bu. does not use cookies or similar technologies for behavioural advertising or cross-site advertising tracking. Bu. does not sell personal data.

Additional care for users under 18. Bu. does not build advertising profiles on any user, and applies that principle with particular care to users under 18.

These technologies exist to make the service work and to keep it secure. Not to monetise your behaviour or your data.

Third-party services

Bu. uses third-party service providers to operate the platform. These are described in our Privacy Policy. Most of these operate on Bu.'s servers rather than placing cookies or similar technologies on your device.

Where you interact directly with a third-party service, that service may use its own cookies or similar technologies. This includes signing in with Apple or Google, and purchases made through the Apple App Store. Those technologies are governed by that provider's own policies.

Our Privacy Policy names the providers Bu. works with and explains what each one does.

Managing your cookie preferences

Where Bu. uses a cookie or similar technology that requires your consent, we will provide an appropriate way for you to give, refuse, or withdraw that consent. Technologies that are necessary to provide a service you request, or that fall within another applicable legal exception, may operate without consent.

You can also manage stored data directly through your browser or device.

Through your browser settings. Most web browsers allow you to view, manage, delete, and block cookies. The exact process depends on which browser you use. You can usually find cookie settings under your browser's privacy or security options.

Through your device settings. On mobile devices, your operating system and individual app settings may offer options to limit certain types of data collection.

Deleting cookies. You can delete cookies that have already been saved to your device through your browser or device settings at any time.

A few things worth knowing before you do:

Disabling essential cookies will affect your ability to use Bu. If essential cookies are blocked, you may not be able to stay signed in or access your account properly.

Changes to this policy

Bu. may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, particularly as the platform grows and the technologies we use evolve.

When we make changes that meaningfully affect how cookies are used on Bu., we will let you know before those changes take effect. The date at the top of this page reflects when this policy was last updated.

Straightforward by design

Bu. is a platform built on trust. That applies to how we use cookies as much as anything else.

Cookies on Bu. exist for one reason: to make the platform work well and safely for the people who use it. Not to build profiles. Not to sell data. Not to follow you around the internet.

Trust. Transparency. Safety. Creativity.

That is what Bu. is built on, and it is the standard every part of the platform, including how we use cookies, is held to.
