BuildPredict AI ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our platform at buildpredict.uk (the "Service"). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to the site owners. We also use browser local storage, which works similarly to cookies.
2. Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies (Always Active)
These are necessary for the Service to function. They cannot be disabled.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| bp_access_token | Authentication: keeps you logged in | 15 minutes |
| bp_refresh_token | Token refresh: extends your session | 7 days |
| bp_cookie_consent | Remembers your cookie preference | Persistent |
| bp_onboarding_done | Tracks whether you've completed onboarding | Persistent |
We also keep a few functional preferences in your browser's local storage (for example your last opened project, sidebar state, and dismissed notices). These are strictly necessary to remember how you've set up the app, contain no tracking data, and do not require consent. You can clear them at any time from your browser settings.
Analytics Cookies (Require Consent)
These help us understand how visitors use our platform so we can improve it. They are only activated when you click "Accept all" on the cookie consent banner.
| Name | Purpose | Provider |
|---|---|---|
| _ga, _ga_* | Distinguish visitors and track page views | Google Analytics 4 |
| sentry-* | Error monitoring and session replay for bug fixing | Sentry |
Cookieless Measurement (No Consent Needed)
We use Vercel Web Analytics to count page views and see which pages people land on. It does not use cookies, does not store or read anything on your device, and does not follow you across other websites. Because it places nothing on your device, it runs whichever cookie choice you make. It records the page address, the referring site, and coarse details like country, browser, and device type. It never records your name, email, or IP address, and it cannot be linked back to your BuildPredict account.
3. Managing Your Preferences
When you first visit BuildPredict, you'll see a cookie consent banner. You can choose to:
- Accept all: enables analytics and error monitoring cookies alongside essential cookies.
- Reject non-essential: only essential cookies are used. Analytics and error monitoring cookies are disabled. Cookieless page view counting, described above, still runs because it stores nothing on your device.
To change your choice later, clear your browser's local storage for buildpredict.uk or delete the bp_cookie_consent entry, and the banner will reappear on your next visit.
4. Third-Party Cookies
We use the following third-party services that may set their own cookies:
- Google Analytics (GA4): web analytics service by Google LLC. Their privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy.
- Sentry: error tracking and performance monitoring. Their privacy policy is available at sentry.io/privacy.
- Stripe: payment processing (only on subscription/checkout pages). Their privacy policy is available at stripe.com/privacy.
- Vercel: hosting and cookieless web analytics. Sets no cookies of its own. Their privacy policy is available at vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy.
5. Browser Settings
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies. However, blocking essential cookies may prevent BuildPredict from functioning correctly.
6. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
7. Contact
