Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

Benies uses cookies and similar technologies to provide, secure, and improve our experience-based digital membership platform. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site owners. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

• Strictly necessary cookies: Required for the website to function (e.g., authentication, security, load balancing). These cannot be disabled without affecting core functionality.
• Functional cookies: Remember your choices (e.g., language, region) and provide enhanced features to improve your experience.
• Performance and analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors use our site (e.g., pages visited, errors) so we can improve performance and usability. Data is typically aggregated and anonymized.
• Marketing cookies: May be used to deliver relevant ads and measure campaign effectiveness, subject to your consent where required by law.

4. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to: authenticate you and keep you signed in; remember your preferences and settings; analyze how our platform is used so we can improve it; protect against fraud and abuse; and, where you have consented, to personalize content and advertising. We do not use cookies to identify you personally unless necessary for the service (e.g., keeping you logged in).

5. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party services that appear on our pages (e.g., analytics providers, payment processors, or embedded content). These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review their policies to understand how they use cookies and data.

6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can control and manage cookies in several ways. Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings (e.g., under "Privacy" or "Security"). Blocking or deleting certain cookies may affect the functionality of our platform (e.g., you may need to sign in again each time, or some features may not work as intended). If we offer a cookie preference center on our site, you can use it to manage non-essential cookies.

7. Duration of Cookies

Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period (e.g., until they expire or you delete them). The retention period depends on the purpose of the cookie; we do not keep non-essential cookies longer than necessary.

8. Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in applicable law. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised when we make changes. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
