This Cookie Policy explains how Backend-Core (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit api.backend-core.com and related sites (the “Sites”). It supplements our Privacy Policy. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meanings given in the Privacy Policy or Terms of Service.
1. What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, and scripts that collect or store information in your browser. These technologies help sites function, remember preferences, measure performance, and (with consent where required) support marketing.
2. How we use cookies
We group cookies into the following categories:
- Strictly necessary: required for core functionality such as security, network management, cookie preference storage, load balancing, and accessibility settings. These cannot be disabled via our banner without breaking site features.
- Functional: remember choices such as theme (dark/light) or locale where configured.
- Analytics: help us understand aggregated traffic patterns, referral sources, and feature engagement (for example page views and approximate geography derived from IP before truncation).
- Marketing: support measurement of campaigns and, where applicable, personalized advertising across partner networks subject to consent and platform rules.
3. Cookie banner and consent
Where required by law (including GDPR/ePrivacy and certain US state laws), we present a banner allowing you to accept all
cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or save specific preferences. Your choices are stored locally (for example in
localStorage) so we can respect them on repeat visits. You may change your mind by clearing site data or using
browser controls described below.
4. Representative cookies you may see
Exact cookie names evolve as we update our Sites. Representative examples include preference keys for theme or analytics opt-in flags. Third-party providers engaged for analytics or ads may set their own cookies subject to their policies and your consent.
| Category | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Security, consent storage, basic routing | Session up to 12 months |
| Functional | UI preferences (for example theme) | Up to 12 months |
| Analytics | Aggregated usage measurement | As set by vendor; often up to 24 months |
| Marketing | Campaign attribution / ads personalization | As set by vendor; often up to 24 months |
5. Browser controls & global opt-outs
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. You can also use industry tools such as the Digital Advertising Alliance’s WebChoices tool (US) or Your Online Choices (EU) where available. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of our Sites from operating correctly.
6. Do Not Track
There is no uniform technical standard for “Do Not Track” signals. We currently do not respond to DNT browser signals as a standalone trigger; we honor legally required opt-outs (such as CPRA “sale/share” opt-outs where applicable) through our consent tools and documented processes.
7. California notice (CCPA/CPRA)
If we engage in activities that qualify as “selling” or “sharing” personal information under California law (for example, certain advertising cookies), we will provide a compliant opt-out mechanism and describe categories of personal information in our Privacy Policy. Using the “Reject non-essential” option in our banner is intended to disable non-essential analytics and marketing cookies on our Sites to the extent technically feasible.
8. Updates
We may modify this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology or law. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. Material changes may also be communicated via additional notice where appropriate.
9. Contact
Questions about cookies: contact us via Contact using the operational mailbox once configured.
