This Cookie Policy explains how BarreBun ("BarreBun", "we", "us", or "our"), a Dancewear & Ballet review website at barrebun.com, uses cookies, localStorage, and similar technologies when you visit our site. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and what choices you have.
What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. Local storage is a similar browser technology that allows a website to save small amounts of data directly in your browser, without sending that data back to a server on every page request. We use a combination of both to run BarreBun and to respect your privacy choices.
How BarreBun Uses These Technologies
1. Consent Banner Preference (Local Storage)
When you first visit BarreBun, you will see a cookie consent banner asking whether you accept or decline non-essential cookies, such as analytics. Once you make a choice, we store that decision (either "accepted" or "declined") in your browser's localStorage. This allows us to remember your preference so the banner does not reappear on every visit.
- This preference data stays on your device only and is not transmitted to our servers.
- No personal information is collected through this storage item beyond your accept/decline selection.
- This is considered strictly necessary for the functioning of our consent mechanism and does not require separate consent.
2. Analytics Cookies (Only If Accepted)
If you click "Accept" on our consent banner, BarreBun will load analytics cookies that help us understand how visitors use our site, which review pages are popular, and how we can improve our content about dancewear, leotards, pointe shoes, and ballet accessories.
- Analytics cookies are only activated after you give consent through the banner.
- If you click "Decline", these cookies will not be set, and no analytics tracking scripts will load.
- Analytics data is typically aggregated and used for statistical purposes, such as page views, session duration, and general traffic trends.
3. Third-Party Cookies
When analytics cookies are enabled (because you accepted them), our analytics provider may place its own cookies on your device to collect usage statistics. These third-party cookies are governed by the respective third party's own privacy and cookie policies, not solely by BarreBun. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of our analytics provider for details on how they handle data collected through these cookies.
- Third-party analytics cookies may track information such as pages visited, referral source, device type, and approximate location (based on IP address).
- We do not sell or share this data for advertising purposes.
- We only enable these third-party cookies after receiving your consent via the banner.
Essential Technologies We Use Regardless of Consent
Aside from the consent preference itself, BarreBun does not set any other strictly necessary cookies that require your consent, as our site is primarily a content and review platform without e-commerce checkout, login systems, or shopping cart functionality.
How to Withdraw or Change Your Consent
You can withdraw your consent to analytics cookies at any time by clearing your browser's local storage and cookies for barrebun.com. Once cleared, the consent banner will reappear on your next visit, allowing you to make a new choice.
Steps to clear local storage and cookies vary by browser:
- Chrome: Go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Clear browsing data, select "Cookies and other site data" and "Cached images and files," then choose barrebun.com or clear all site data.
- Firefox: Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data > Manage Data, search for barrebun.com, and remove it.
- Safari: Go to Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data, search for barrebun.com, and remove it.
- Edge: Go to Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Clear browsing data, select cookies and cached data, and clear for barrebun.com.
You can also use your browser's private or incognito browsing mode to visit BarreBun without any cookies or localStorage data being retained after you close the session.
Browser Controls
Most web browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings menus. Please note that if you block all cookies and local storage, the consent banner on BarreBun may reappear on every visit, since we will not be able to remember your previous choice.
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" feature. Because there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to these signals, BarreBun currently relies on the explicit accept/decline choice made through our consent banner rather than automated Do Not Track signals.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or the analytics tools we use. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
