Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners.

Similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, local storage, and session storage serve comparable purposes and are also covered by this policy.

Buildfel uses cookies and similar technologies on our marketing website (buildfel.com) and application (app.buildfel.com) for the following purposes:

• Essential operation: To keep you signed in, maintain your session, and enable core platform features
• Preferences: To remember your settings such as your chosen theme (light or dark mode)
• Security: To protect your account and prevent fraudulent activity
• Analytics: To understand how visitors interact with our website so we can improve it
• Performance: To identify and fix technical issues that affect load times or functionality

Strictly Necessary Cookies These cookies are required for the website and platform to function. They cannot be disabled. Examples include authentication tokens, CSRF protection tokens, and session identifiers set by Clerk (our authentication provider).

Preference Cookies These remember choices you make on the site. For example, we store your dark/light mode preference in your browser's local storage so it persists across visits.

Analytics Cookies We may use analytics tools to collect anonymous data about how users navigate the site. This data is aggregated and does not identify you individually.

Security Cookies Cloudflare Turnstile, used on our contact form, sets cookies to verify that form submissions are made by humans rather than automated bots.

Third-Party Cookies Some cookies are set by third-party services we use: - Clerk — Authentication and session management - Stripe — Payment processing (on checkout pages) - Cloudflare — Security, spam protection, and performance

Cookies we use fall into two duration categories:

Session Cookies: Deleted automatically when you close your browser. Used for temporary session data during your visit.

Persistent Cookies: Remain on your device for a set period (days to months) or until you delete them. Used for preferences, authentication tokens, and analytics.

Third-party cookies follow the duration set by their respective providers. Refer to their privacy policies for specific retention periods.

You can control and manage cookies in several ways:

Browser settings: All major browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. Note that disabling essential cookies will prevent the platform from functioning correctly — you will not be able to stay signed in.

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and Site Permissions

Opt-out tools: For analytics cookies, you may opt out using tools such as the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on where applicable.

Local storage: Browser local storage (used for theme preferences) can be cleared through your browser's developer tools or by clearing site data.

Please be aware that restricting cookies may affect your experience on our website and platform.
