This document forms part of the binding legal framework for the Beg.com Platform. Please read it carefully. Continued use of our services constitutes acceptance of these terms as updated from time to time.
1. Purpose of this Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how beg Inc. ("beg," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on the beg Platform. It should be read together with our Privacy Notice and Terms of Service.
Where required by applicable law (including the ePrivacy Directive and GDPR in the EEA/UK), we obtain consent before placing non-essential cookies.
2. What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, and software development kits (SDKs) that store or read identifiers. These technologies help authenticate users, secure the Platform, remember preferences, and understand aggregated usage.
3. Categories of cookies we use
| Category | Legal role | Purpose | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Essential / exempt where applicable | Enable core functionality: authentication, security, fraud prevention, load balancing, and storage of cookie consent choices | Session tokens, CSRF protections, consent record |
| Functional | Consent where required | Remember interface preferences and improve usability | Locale/preference storage |
| Analytics / performance | Consent where required | Measure aggregated traffic, feature usage, and reliability to improve the Platform | Page-view metrics, engagement events |
| Marketing | Consent where required | Measure campaign effectiveness on external channels (only if enabled by your preferences) | Conversion pixels |
4. Platform-specific technologies
In addition to traditional cookies, beg may use local storage to retain cookie preference settings and limited visitor identifiers that support live campaign activity indicators (such as view counts). These identifiers are not used for cross-site advertising without a lawful basis and, where required, your consent.
5. Third-party cookies
Independent providers involved in payments (for example Stripe) or embedded media may set their own cookies when you interact with their services. Those technologies are governed by the third party’s policies. beg does not control all third-party cookies once you leave our domain or interact with an embedded checkout experience.
6. Managing your preferences
You may manage non-essential cookies at any time via our Cookie Preferences centre. You may also configure your browser to block or delete cookies. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent login, donations, or other core features from functioning correctly.
Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
7. Retention
Cookie lifetimes vary by purpose. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until deleted. Consent records may be retained to demonstrate compliance.
8. International users
Because beg serves a global audience, cookie practices are designed to meet high international standards. Local requirements may impose additional obligations; where they conflict with this Policy, the stricter applicable requirement will guide our implementation for that region.
9. Updates
We may revise this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, law, or Platform operations. The effective date at the top of this page will be updated accordingly. Material changes will be posted here and, where appropriate, reflected in the consent interface.
