Cookie Policy

Last updated October 10, 2026. The complete list of cookies and similar technologies BrandPatrol uses, what each one is for, and how to switch the optional ones off.

What's stored where

Five storage layers, and which ones are optional

Only one layer is strictly necessary, and it exists only once you sign in. Drag the scene or pick a layer to see what it stores, for how long, and how to turn it off. The rest of this page gives the exact names.

  1. One cookie, bw, keeps you signed in to your workspace at app.brandpatrol.net. It is HttpOnly, SameSite=Strict, Secure over HTTPS and expires after about 12 hours idle. It is strictly necessary, so it can't be switched off.

  2. The chat bubble uses your browser's session storage and local storage, not cookies, to remember a conversation on your device. Session items clear when you close the tab; the lead details you typed stay until you clear site data.

  3. Cloudflare, which serves brandpatrol.net, runs cookieless Web Analytics on every page: aggregate page views and load-performance timing, with no cookie and no cross-site tracking.

  4. Cookieless measurement across owned marketing, workspace, account, administration and preview pages. The Google tag runs in a separate analytics-only origin with analytics and advertising storage denied; no Google Analytics cookies or user identifiers are provided.

  5. On the checkout page, a hosted payment component from our payment provider, Airwallex, may set its own cookies to process your payment and prevent fraud. Those are governed by Airwallex's policy.

Only one cookie is strictly necessary: the session cookie that keeps you signed in to your workspace. The chat widget uses browser storage rather than cookies, the payment provider may set its own cookies on the checkout page, and marketing pages set no advertising cookies. Analytics on this site is cookieless; the exact names are listed below.

The essential session cookie

Signing in to your workspace at app.brandpatrol.net sets a single strictly necessary cookie:

bw
Strictly necessary. Keeps you signed in to your workspace. HttpOnly (invisible to page scripts), SameSite=Strict, Secure over HTTPS, and expires after about 12 hours of the session being idle. There is no way to opt out of this cookie and stay signed in — it's the session itself.

The public marketing pages you're browsing right now — this one included — set no advertising cookies. Google Analytics uses cookieless measurement with analytics and advertising storage denied.

Google Analytics 4 — cookieless measurement

BrandPatrol measures page and function views and selected actions across its marketing, workspace, account and administration pages, and owned previews. The Google tag runs in a separate analytics-only origin, not in pages containing customer forms or records. Analytics and advertising storage remain denied using Google's Consent Mode: we do not set Google Analytics cookies, enable advertising personalization, or provide a user identifier. Google receives cookieless measurement pings, your IP address and basic browser/device metadata; this is not a claim that no data is sent to Google.

Page addresses are replaced with fixed route templates, referring addresses are omitted, and action details are limited to predefined categories and bounded counts. We do not send names, email addresses, passwords, API keys, customer or record identifiers, search terms, notes, uploaded content, or provider links. Global Privacy Control, Do Not Track, or a stored BrandPatrol analytics denial prevents the Google tag from loading. With no consent-management preference present, storage stays denied; we do not assume consent or grant cookie access.

Cloudflare Web Analytics

Cloudflare, the content delivery network that serves brandpatrol.net, also runs its Web Analytics on every page of this site. It's cookieless: no cookie, no persistent device identifier, and no cross-site tracking. It reports aggregate counts only — page views and load-performance timing — and can't be used to identify or follow an individual visitor.

Browser storage used by the chat widget

The chat bubble on this site uses your browser's own session storage and local storage — not cookies — to remember a conversation on your device:

brandpatrol.chat.history
Session storage. The messages in your current conversation, so refreshing the page doesn't lose them. Cleared automatically when you close the tab.
brandpatrol.chat.id
Session storage. A random id for your current conversation thread, so your messages join one thread on our server instead of many. Cleared automatically when you close the tab.
brandpatrol.chat.lead
Local storage. The name, work email, and company you gave the chat, if you gave them, so you don't have to retype them if you come back. Persists until you clear your browser's site data for brandpatrol.net.

Third-party checkout

Our /checkout page loads a hosted payment component directly from our payment provider, Airwallex (a script from static.airwallex.com), so your card details go straight to Airwallex and never touch our servers. That component may set its own cookies to process your payment and prevent fraud; those are governed by Airwallex's own privacy and cookie policy, not this one.

How to control this

Your browser lets you block or delete cookies and site data at any time. Blocking or deleting the bw cookie signs you out of the workspace. Global Privacy Control, Do Not Track or a stored BrandPatrol analytics denial prevents the Google tag from loading. Clearing local or session storage resets the chat widget's memory on that device, not data already stored on our servers; see our Data Deletion page.

Cookie questions

Common questions about cookies on BrandPatrol

Short answers, taken straight from the policy above.

Does this site use Google Analytics?

Yes. BrandPatrol uses cookieless Google Analytics 4 across owned marketing, workspace, account, administration and preview pages. The Google tag runs in a separate analytics-only origin with analytics and advertising storage denied. Cloudflare Web Analytics also runs site-wide.

Which cookies does BrandPatrol set?

The workspace sets an essential session cookie to keep you signed in. Google Analytics does not set analytics or advertising cookies. The chat widget uses browser storage, not cookies.

Does BrandPatrol set analytics cookies for visitors in the EU or UK?

No. Analytics and advertising storage are denied for every visitor, including visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland. Google receives cookieless measurement pings, not analytics cookies.

Is Google Analytics data used for advertising?

No. Advertising storage, ad user data and ad personalization are denied for every visitor, so Google Analytics data on this site is not used for advertising or remarketing. It is used only to understand which pages are read and which features, such as the FAQ and process diagrams, get used.

How do I opt out of Google Analytics on BrandPatrol?

Global Privacy Control, Do Not Track or a stored BrandPatrol analytics denial prevents the Google tag from loading.

What does the chat widget store in my browser?

It uses session storage and local storage, not cookies. Session storage holds your current conversation and thread id until you close the tab. Local storage keeps the name, work email and company you gave the chat until you clear your site data for brandpatrol.net.
