What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the website owners. Cookies allow a website to recognize your device and store some information about your preferences or past actions.

How We Use Cookies

BillMyAgent uses a small set of cookies and similar technologies (such as browser local storage) to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, protect our forms from bots, and understand site usage in aggregate. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking technologies. This policy covers both cookies and similar browser-storage technologies.

Types of Cookies We Use

1. Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. These cookies enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. You cannot opt-out of essential cookies as they are required for the website to work.

Essential technologies we use:

  • Sign-in token (browser local storage) - to keep you logged in to your account
  • Cookie-preference storage (browser local storage) - to remember your choices on this policy
  • Bot protection (Cloudflare Turnstile) - loads only on our signup and password-reset forms to protect against automated abuse; it evaluates browser signals for bot detection and may use its own cookies or storage for that purpose

2. Analytics Cookies

We use Vercel Web Analytics to understand site usage in aggregate — which pages are visited and how the site performs. It is cookieless: it does not set cookies, does not use persistent identifiers, and does not track you across other websites. Visits are counted using an anonymized, short-lived hash.

What we use analytics for:

  • Understanding which pages are most and least popular
  • Identifying technical issues and areas for improvement

3. Marketing Cookies

We do not use marketing or advertising cookies. No advertising networks, tracking pixels, or interest-profiling technologies run on our site, and we do not sell or share your personal information for advertising. If this ever changes, we will update this policy and ask for your consent before setting any such cookies.

4. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.

What we use functional storage for:

  • Remembering your preferences and settings (for example, dark mode)

Opt-out: You can disable functional cookies through our cookie preferences settings, though this may impact some website functionality.

Third-Party Cookies

The only third-party services that run in your browser on our site are listed below. Each is subject to its own privacy policy, and each also appears on our Sub-processors page.

Third-party services we use:

  • Vercel Web Analytics - cookieless, aggregate usage statistics
  • Cloudflare Turnstile - bot protection, only on signup and password-reset forms

We do not use advertising networks, and we do not embed Google Analytics or similar cookie-based trackers.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have the right to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can manage your cookie preferences in several ways:

Through Our Website

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time by clicking on the "Cookie Preferences" link in our cookie banner or footer. This allows you to enable or disable specific cookie categories.

Through Your Browser

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to refuse cookies or delete certain cookies. However, please note that blocking essential cookies may impact your ability to use our website.

Browser-specific instructions:

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
  • Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data
  • Edge: Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Cookies and site permissions

Cookie Duration

Cookies can be either "session" or "persistent" cookies:

  • Session cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you navigate the website.
  • Persistent cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and settings.

Values kept in browser local storage (such as your sign-in token and preferences) persist until you sign out, clear your browser storage, or delete them. Third-party cookies or storage set by the services above follow those providers' own durations.

Your Rights

Under applicable data protection laws (such as GDPR and CCPA), you have the right to:

  • Be informed about the use of cookies
  • Give or withdraw consent for non-essential cookies
  • Access information about cookies used on our website
  • Request deletion of cookies (through browser settings)

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
