1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide a better browsing experience, and give site owners useful information.
Similar technologies include local storage, which allows websites to store data in your browser that persists between sessions. Unlike cookies, local storage data is not sent to the server with every request.
2. How We Use Cookies & Local Storage
Bundle Waste keeps things simple. Our website currently uses minimal storage technology. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or analytics platforms. The only data we store in your browser is your theme preference (dark or light mode) using the browser's localStorage feature.
We believe in being transparent: right now, our use of browser storage is limited to making sure the site looks the way you want it to.
3. Types of Cookies
Essential / Functional
We use localStorage (not traditional cookies) to remember your chosen display theme. This is considered essential functionality for maintaining a consistent user experience.
Analytics (Future)
We may introduce analytics cookies in the future to understand how visitors use our website. If we do, we will update this policy and, where required by law, seek your consent before placing those cookies.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Our website loads fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.google.com). When your browser requests these font files, Google may receive your IP address and standard browser information. Google's use of data is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
Apart from Google Fonts, we do not embed any third-party services that place cookies on your device.
5. Managing Cookies
Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:
- View and delete cookies already stored on your device
- Block all cookies or only third-party cookies
- Configure per-site cookie permissions
- Set your browser to notify you when a cookie is being placed
Common browser settings pages:
- Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions
Please note that blocking all cookies or local storage may affect your experience on our site (for example, your theme preference will not be remembered).
6. Local Storage
We use the browser's localStorage API to store a single key-value pair:
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
bw-theme |
localStorage | Saves your dark/light theme preference | Persistent |
The bw-theme key stores either "light" or no value (dark is the default). This data never leaves your browser and is not transmitted to our servers. You can clear it at any time through your browser's developer tools (Application > Local Storage) or by clearing your site data.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
