What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners about how visitors use their sites.
How Believers Box Uses Cookies
Believers Box uses cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage) to operate our website and enhance your experience. Below is a description of the types of cookies we use:
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. They enable core features such as session management, subscription access verification, and security. Without these cookies, certain parts of the site — such as your subscriber account and episode access — cannot function. Essential cookies cannot be disabled.
Examples include:
- Session authentication cookies that keep you logged in.
- The
bb_paid_subcookie, which verifies your paid subscription status and unlocks premium episodes.
Analytics Cookies
We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with our website — for example, which pages are visited most, how long visitors stay, and where they come from. This data helps us improve the site and our content. Analytics cookies collect information in an anonymized or aggregated form.
Marketing and Preference Cookies
These cookies may be used to remember your preferences (such as your theme selection) and to deliver relevant content or communications. Third-party services we use, such as Flodesk (email marketing), may also set cookies when you interact with embedded forms on our site.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services we use, including:
- Stripe — sets cookies to enable secure payment processing and fraud prevention.
- Flodesk — may set cookies when you interact with email opt-in forms embedded on our site.
- Analytics providers — may set cookies to track anonymized usage data.
These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, which govern how they use the data they collect.
Local Storage
In addition to cookies, Believers Box uses your browser's local storage to save your listening progress (such as which episode you last played and how far you listened). This data is stored entirely on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
