Cookie Policy
This policy explains what cookies and similar technologies we use on www.beemotors.com, why we use them, and how you can control them. It complements our Privacy Policy.
On this page
1. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website. We also use related browser-storage techniques such as localStorage and sessionStorage. Throughout this policy, "cookies" refers to all of these.
2. Categories we use
We group cookies into the four categories you see in the consent banner. Only "Strictly necessary" cookies are set without your consent, because the site cannot work without them.
- Strictly necessary — login, cart, checkout, security.
- Functional — preferences such as language or recently viewed.
- Analytics — anonymous usage statistics (currently not active).
- Marketing — personalised offers (currently not active).
3. Specific cookies & storage we set
| Name | Type | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
bm_cart_sid | Cookie · necessary | Anonymous cart identifier so your basket is preserved between visits. | 30 days |
sb-access-token / sb-refresh-token | Cookie · necessary | Supabase authentication tokens for signed-in users. | Session / 7 days |
bm_cookie_consent | localStorage · necessary | Stores your cookie preferences so we don't ask again. | 12 months |
__stripe_* | Cookie · necessary | Set by Stripe.js when the embedded payment form loads, for fraud prevention and PCI compliance. | Up to 1 year |
4. Third-party services
Some pages load scripts from trusted partners that may set their own cookies:
- Stripe — payment processing & fraud detection.
- Supabase — authentication and database access.
- Vercel — hosting (essential, not used for tracking).
We do not currently use third-party advertising, social, or analytics trackers (no Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, etc.). If we add any in the future, this page and the consent banner will be updated and you will be asked again.
5. Manage your preferences
You can change your choices at any time by re-opening the consent banner:
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing already carried out. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be turned off because the site would not function without them.
6. Browser controls
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. The exact steps depend on your browser:
- Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security
- Safari — Settings → Privacy
- Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Note: blocking essential cookies will prevent you from logging in or completing a purchase.
7. Changes
We may update this policy when we change the cookies we use. Significant updates will trigger the consent banner again. The "last updated" date at the top reflects the latest version.
