Cookies

Cookies are small files a website keeps in your browser. BoxBid uses a few of its own to keep you signed in, keep forms safe and count visits, and Google Analytics to understand how the site is used. We use no advertising cookies, we never sell what we learn, and ads on BoxBid are chosen by the page they are on, not by who you are.

Cookies BoxBid sets

Name	What it does	How long
boxbid-session needed	Keeps you signed in and remembers this visit (including the page that brought you here, so we can credit the right source).	2 hours
XSRF-TOKEN needed	Security: proves a form was sent from BoxBid and not from another site.	2 hours
remember_web_… needed	Keeps you signed in on this device when you choose to stay signed in.	Until you log out
bx_consent needed	Remembers your cookie choice, so we don't ask again.	6 months
bx_vid measurement	A random visitor number for our own visit counter, so two visits from the same browser count as one visitor. It holds nothing about you. Not set if you say no, if your browser sends Global Privacy Control, or (until you choose) in Europe.	13 months
bx_staff needed	Only on BoxBid staff browsers: keeps our own team out of the visitor numbers.	1 year
bx_ref needed	The invite link you arrived from, so the friend who invited you gets their points when you join.	30 days
bx_rme needed	Set on a member's own browser when they open their invite page, so they can't reward themselves.	1 year
bb_city preference	The city you picked for "near you" fights and events.	1 year
bx_u13 needed	Set only when someone under 13 tries to join, to stop an instant retry.	1 day

Your browser also keeps a few small settings on your device (for example which notifications you have already seen and which menu sections you opened). They never leave your device.

Google Analytics

On www.boxbid.io we use Google Analytics 4 to measure visits: which pages are read, how people find us and which devices they use. Google sets these cookies:

Name	What it does	How long
_ga measurement	Tells one browser from another for Google Analytics.	2 years
_ga_<id> measurement	Keeps track of the current visit for Google Analytics.	2 years

• Google signals and advertising features are off: Google Analytics is used for measurement only, never for ads.
• In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, Google Analytics stores nothing until you accept. Everywhere else you can say no on this page at any time.
• We never send Google your name, e-mail, phone number or handle. Members under 18 are never identified to Google.
• How Google uses this information: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. You can also block Google Analytics on every site with Google's opt-out browser add-on.

Payments

When you pay, Stripe (our payment processor) may set its own cookies on its payment form to prevent fraud. They are covered by Stripe's cookie policy.
