Cookie policy

Effective date: 26 June 2026

Last updated: 26 June 2026

This Cookie policy explains how BeanCraft Inc. ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit beancraft.one (the "Site"). It should be read alongside our Privacy policy, which describes how we handle personal information more broadly. By continuing to use the Site after interacting with our cookie consent banner, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this policy and your selected preferences.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, remember user preferences, and provide information to site operators. Cookies may be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remaining on your device for a defined period or until manually deleted).

Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. On beancraft.one, we use cookies to manage your cookie consent preferences with a six-month storage duration.

2. How we use cookies

BeanCraft uses cookies for the following purposes:

• Essential cookies: Required for the Site to function properly. These include cookies that remember your cookie consent choice and support basic navigation and security features. Essential cookies cannot be disabled through our consent banner because the Site cannot operate without them.
• Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with the Site by collecting aggregated, anonymised data about page views, navigation paths, time on page, and referral sources. This information helps us improve Site content, accessory catalogue presentation, and user experience.
• Marketing cookies: Used to deliver relevant content about BeanCraft accessory lines, community review opportunities, and showroom events. Marketing cookies may track your visits across sessions to present consistent messaging about brew gear promotions.

3. Cookie consent

When you first visit beancraft.one, a cookie consent banner appears at the bottom of the page offering three options:

• Accept all: Enables essential, analytics, and marketing cookies;
• Reject all: Enables essential cookies only; analytics and marketing cookies are not set;
• Customise: Opens a panel where you can individually select analytics and marketing cookies before saving your preferences.

Your consent choice is stored in a cookie named "bc_cookie_consent" with a six-month expiration period so the banner does not reappear on subsequent visits within that window. You may change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser's cookies for beancraft.one and revisiting the Site, at which point the consent banner will reappear.

We do not deploy analytics or marketing cookies until you have provided consent through one of the options above, in compliance with PIPEDA and guidance from the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada regarding meaningful consent for online tracking.

4. Cookies we may use

The following table describes cookies and storage items that may be set on beancraft.one:

• bc_cookie_consent (cookie) — Stores your cookie consent preferences as JSON. Duration: six months. Category: Essential.
• Session identifiers — May be set by our hosting infrastructure to maintain secure connections. Duration: session. Category: Essential.
• Analytics identifiers — If you consent to analytics, third-party analytics tools may set cookies to distinguish unique visitors and track page interactions. Duration: up to twenty-four months. Category: Analytics.
• Marketing pixels — If you consent to marketing, tracking pixels may be deployed to measure campaign performance for accessory promotions. Duration: varies by provider. Category: Marketing.

We review our cookie inventory periodically and update this policy when new cookies are introduced or existing cookies are removed.

5. Third-party cookies

Some cookies on the Site may be set by third-party service providers acting on our behalf, such as analytics platforms or content delivery networks. These third parties are contractually required to use data only for the purposes we specify and in compliance with applicable privacy legislation. We do not permit third-party providers to use data collected through our Site for their own independent marketing purposes without your consent.

6. Managing cookies through your browser

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically configure your browser to refuse all cookies, accept cookies only from specific sites, or delete cookies when you close the browser. Common browser cookie management instructions:

• Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
• Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies

Please note that disabling essential cookies may prevent certain features of the Site from functioning correctly, including remembering your cookie consent choice. Disabling analytics and marketing cookies will not affect core Site functionality but will limit our ability to improve the Site based on usage data.

7. Do Not Track signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. At this time, beancraft.one does not alter its behaviour in response to DNT signals, but we honour the preferences you set through our cookie consent banner.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our practices. The effective date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. Material changes will be communicated through a notice on the Site.
