Bonnect Cookie Policy
Our Privacy Policy explains our principles when it comes to the collection, processing, and storage of your information. This policy specifically explains how we, our partners, and users of our services deploy cookies, as well as the options you have to control them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of data, stored in text files, that are stored on your computer or other device when websites are loaded in a browser. They are widely used to “remember” you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a “session cookie”) or for multiple repeat visits (using a “persistent cookie”). They ensure a consistent and efficient experience for visitors, and perform essential functions such as allowing users to register and remain logged in. Cookies may be set by the site that you are visiting (known as “first party cookies”), or by third parties, such as those who serve content or provide advertising or analytics services on the website (“third party cookies”).
Both websites and HTML emails may also contain other tracking technologies such as “web beacons” or “pixels.” These are typically small transparent images that provide us with statistics, for similar purposes as cookies. They are often used in conjunction with cookies, though they are not stored on your computer in the same way. As a result, if you disable cookies, web beacons may still load, but their functionality will be restricted.
How we use cookies
We use cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website and to support advertising on third-party platforms. Cookies are only set after you accept them through our cookie banner; if you decline, no cookies are placed on your device.
Where we place cookies
We set cookies on our websites.
Cookie list
We only set the following cookies after you click "Accept" on our cookie banner. If you decline, none of these will be set.
| Cookie | Purpose |
|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics. Distinguishes unique visitors by assigning a randomly generated identifier. Helps us understand how visitors use our site. Expires after 2 years. |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics. Persists session state for analytics purposes. Expires after 2 years. |
| _fbp | Meta (Facebook) Pixel. Used by Meta to deliver advertising on Facebook and Instagram and to measure ad performance. Expires after 90 days. |
Local storage
In addition to cookies, we use your browser's local storage to remember preferences locally on your device. Unlike cookies, local storage data is not transmitted to our servers automatically — it stays on your device and is only read when needed to provide site features. We store the following:
| Key | Purpose |
|---|---|
| bonnect_cookie_consent | Remembers whether you accepted or declined cookies on the banner so we don't show it again. |
| school_id, school_badge, school_name | Remembers which school you've selected so we can show listings relevant to your campus. |
Controlling Cookies
Visitors may wish to restrict the use of cookies or completely prevent them from being set. Most browsers provide for ways to control cookie behavior such as the length of time they are stored – either through built-in functionality or by utilizing third party plugins. If you disable cookies, please be aware that some of the features of our service may not function correctly.
