Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies and How Do They Work?

When you visit bridgeconnnet.com, your browser communicates with our servers. Cookies act as small memory units that store information about your visit—things like language preferences, login status, or which pages you've viewed. This happens automatically unless you've configured your browser to block them.

Cookies don't contain viruses or malware. They're plain text files with limited data. Most expire after a session ends, while others stick around longer to remember your settings across multiple visits. We use both types depending on what makes sense for functionality and your convenience.

Here's something people often miss: cookies don't identify you personally by default. They recognize your browser or device. When combined with account information or other data you provide, they can help us personalize your experience—but that's within your control through the settings we'll explain shortly.

Types of Cookies We Use

Not all cookies serve the same purpose. We've organized them into categories so you understand what's happening behind the scenes.

Specific Cookies on Our Platform

Here's a breakdown of the actual cookies you'll encounter on bridgeconnnet.com. We've listed their names, purposes, and how long they last.

Third-Party Cookies

Sometimes cookies come from services we integrate with—like analytics tools or content delivery networks. These third parties have their own privacy policies, which we recommend reviewing if you're curious about their practices.

We're selective about partners and only work with services that align with our commitment to data security. But once a third-party cookie is set, it operates under their rules, not ours. That's worth keeping in mind.

If you're using browser extensions or plugins, those might also set cookies we don't control. Same goes for embedded content from external sources. We try to minimize these, but some are necessary for functionality.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You're in control. Modern browsers give you several ways to manage cookies, from blocking them entirely to accepting only certain types. Here's how to adjust settings in the most common browsers.

Keep in mind that blocking all cookies might break parts of bridgeconnnet.com. Essential functions like logging in or saving reports require cookies to work. If something seems off after changing your settings, that's probably why.

Cookies and Budget Reporting

For a platform focused on financial data, cookies play a specific role. They help us maintain secure sessions when you access sensitive information. They remember which reports you generate frequently so we can streamline your workflow. And they allow us to track system performance to catch issues before they affect your work.

We don't use cookies to access your financial records directly. Those are stored securely on our servers with encryption and access controls. Cookies simply facilitate your interaction with that data through the web interface.

If you're accessing bridgeconnnet.com from a shared device or public computer, we recommend clearing cookies after each session. This prevents others from accessing your account or preferences after you've logged out.

Updates to This Policy

We update this policy when our use of cookies changes—whether that's adding new tracking tools, removing outdated ones, or adjusting retention periods. Major changes get flagged with a revised date at the top of the page.

We won't notify you individually about minor updates, so checking back occasionally makes sense if you're particular about how your data gets used. The current version always reflects our actual practices as of the date listed.
