Introduction
BiznessBook Inc. ("BiznessBook", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar storage technologies (including browser LocalStorage and IndexedDB) on our website and web applications. This Cookie Policy explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
We do not use intrusive third-party cross-site trackers or sell advertising cookies. Our storage mechanisms exist primarily to authenticate cashiers, store offline transaction queues, and remember language preferences.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make web applications run efficiently, maintain secure logged-in sessions, and remember user preferences between sessions.

Your browser connects securely to BiznessBook servers.
Token Generation
An encrypted session token is sent to your device.
Secure Local Storage
The token is stored in sandboxed browser memory.
State Preservation
Future requests preserve your active register session.
Types of Cookies We Use
1. Strictly Essential Cookies (Mandatory)
These cookies are required for the service to function and cannot be disabled in our systems. They are established in response to actions like logging in, filling forms, or navigating between store tabs:
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
session_id | Maintains your authenticated POS login session | Session |
csrf_token | Protects against Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks | Session |
cookie_consent | Remembers your cookie notification status | 1 year |
cf_clearance | Cloudflare edge DDoS and bot mitigation validation | 1 year |
2. Performance & Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect aggregated, pseudonymous data about how visitors interact with public landing pages to help us diagnose slow loading times:
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics — measures general site engagement | 2 years |
_gid | Google Analytics — 24-hour visitor telemetry grouping | 24 hours |
_gat | Throttles request rate to protect server performance | 1 minute |
3. Functionality & Localization Cookies
These cookies remember selections you make (such as local currency, preferred language, or dark/light display settings):
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
user_lang | Preserves your chosen language (e.g., English, Spanish, French) | 1 year |
currency_pref | Stores your regional currency symbol setting | 1 year |
sidebar_collapsed | Saves dashboard UI navigation layout state | 1 year |
Other Client-Side Storage Technologies
In addition to HTTP cookies, BiznessBook utilizes modern browser storage APIs to empower our offline-first POS capabilities:
IndexedDB Storage
Stores cached product catalog lists, barcodes, and pending offline receipts so cashiers can ring up sales even when internet service drops.
LocalStorage
Stores localized UI flags, active store branch identifier, and temporary calculator inputs on your local hardware.
Third-Party Integrations
When using payment features, external providers (such as Stripe or PayPal) may set essential cookies to detect payment fraud and ensure safe checkout. We recommend reviewing their respective privacy and cookie statements.
Cookie Lifespans
We classify cookies by their operational lifetime:
Session Cookies
Temporary cookies that automatically vanish as soon as you close your browser tab. Used primarily for authentication.
Persistent Cookies
Remain on your device for a predetermined period (or until manually purged). Used to remember language and currency.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can manage and disable optional cookies directly through your web browser controls:
Google Chrome
Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies → Choose your preferred level.
Mozilla Firefox
Settings → Privacy & Security → Enhanced Tracking Protection → Standard or Strict.
Apple Safari
Settings → Privacy → Block all cookies or Prevent cross-site tracking.
Microsoft Edge
Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies.
Impact of Disabling Cookies
Because essential cookies are integral to app operations, blocking all cookies may impact functionality:
You will need to sign in every time you reload the app, offline receipt queuing may fail, and language or currency preferences will reset on each visit.
Cookies & Personal Data
To the extent that information collected through cookies constitutes personal data (such as IP addresses or unique device identifiers), it is governed by our full Privacy Policy.
Cross-Border Data Transfers
Where cookie data involves technical telemetry processed outside your home jurisdiction, it is handled under international transfer safeguards including European Standard Contractual Clauses.
Children's Privacy
BiznessBook is dedicated exclusively to commercial business operations. We do not knowingly place cookies targeting or tracking children under the age of 16.
Policy Revisions
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in web technologies or legal standards. Changes will be marked by updating the "Last Updated" timestamp at the top of this page.
