This Cookie Policy explains how Bathe Bloom ("we", "us", "our"), operating at bathebloom.com, uses cookies and similar storage technologies, such as localStorage, when you visit our Bath & Body Care review website. By continuing to use our site, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.
What Are Cookies and localStorage?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. localStorage is a similar browser-based storage technology that allows websites to save small amounts of data directly in your browser, without an expiration date, until it is manually cleared. We use a combination of both to support essential site functions and, where permitted, to understand how visitors use our content.
The Cookie Consent Banner
When you first visit Bathe Bloom, you will see a cookie consent banner asking whether you accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored using your browser's localStorage so that we can remember your preference on future visits and avoid showing the banner repeatedly.
- If you click "Accept", your decision is saved in localStorage, and analytics cookies described below are enabled.
- If you click "Decline", your decision is also saved in localStorage, but analytics cookies are not activated, and no non-essential tracking occurs.
This localStorage entry does not contain personal information beyond your yes/no preference and is not shared with third parties.
Types of Cookies and Storage We Use
Strictly Necessary Storage
This includes the localStorage entry that remembers your cookie consent choice. It is essential for the site to function as intended and does not require separate consent, as it does not track browsing behavior or collect personal data.
Analytics Cookies (Only With Consent)
If you accept cookies via our consent banner, we enable analytics cookies to help us understand how visitors interact with Bathe Bloom, such as which reviews are most popular, how long visitors stay on pages, and which devices or browsers are used. This information helps us improve our content and user experience. These cookies are not activated unless you give consent, and they are immediately disabled if you decline or withdraw consent.
Third-Party Cookies
We work with third-party analytics providers to gather the aggregated, anonymized usage statistics described above. These providers may set their own cookies on your device once you have accepted cookies on our site. These third parties operate under their own privacy and cookie policies, and we encourage you to review those policies for further details on how they handle data. We do not control these third-party cookies directly, but we only permit them to load after you have given consent through our banner.
How to Withdraw or Change Your Consent
You can withdraw or change your cookie consent at any time by clearing your browser's storage for bathebloom.com. Since our consent choice is stored in localStorage rather than a traditional cookie, the most reliable way to reset your preference is to clear your browsing data for our site. The general steps are:
- Open your browser settings or privacy controls.
- Locate the option to clear cookies and site data, or site-specific browsing data.
- Select bathebloom.com (or clear data for all sites, if you prefer a broader reset).
- Confirm the action and refresh the Bathe Bloom website.
Once your browser storage is cleared, the consent banner will reappear on your next visit, allowing you to make a new choice. If you decline at that point, any previously enabled analytics cookies will no longer be set.
Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
In addition to using our consent banner, most browsers allow you to manage cookie permissions directly through their settings, including blocking all cookies, blocking third-party cookies only, or deleting existing cookies. Please note that disabling certain storage technologies may affect how parts of our site function, including the ability to remember your cookie preference.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or the third-party tools we use. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies and similar technologies.
