Cookie Policy

What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. Some are needed for the site to work and stay secure; others help the site owner understand how the site is used. Similar technologies, such as your browser's local storage, work the same way and are covered by this policy too.
Your choice
When you first visit www.avidbeam.com we ask whether you accept analytics cookies. Nothing is used for analytics unless you click “Accept”. Rejecting is just as easy, and the site works exactly the same either way. You can change your mind at any time:
The same “Cookie settings” link is at the bottom of every page. If you withdraw consent, we stop analytics and delete the analytics cookies from your browser.
Strictly necessary cookies
These keep the website secure and working and are always on. They do not track you across other websites.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
avidbeam-consent | AvidBeam | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected analytics cookies, so we don't ask on every page. Stored in your browser's local storage. | 12 months |
cf_clearance | Cloudflare | Security: confirms your browser passed Cloudflare's bot protection, which keeps the site safe from automated attacks. | Up to 1 year |
chatbase_anon_id | Chatbase | Lets the AvidBeam Assistant chat window keep your conversation together. Contains an anonymous ID only. | Session (deleted when you close the browser) |
Analytics cookies (only with your consent)
If you accept, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website: which pages are read, how people arrive, and roughly where they are, so we can improve our content. Google Analytics does not store full IP addresses. We do not use advertising or remarketing cookies.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes one visitor from another so we can count unique visitors. | 2 years |
_ga_BQBQ6YYLL5 | Google Analytics | Keeps track of your current visit (session) for our analytics reports. | 2 years |

Cookie-free visitor statistics
Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, gives us basic aggregated statistics (for example, the number of page views) without setting any cookies or identifying individual visitors.
Managing cookies in your browser
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site, such as the chat assistant, from working.
