This policy explains how BAQAStandards.com uses cookies and similar browser storage. BAQA serves people in many countries. Where the law that applies to a visitor requires consent for a particular technology, BAQA will request that consent before using it.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text records stored by a browser. Similar technologies include local browser storage and temporary security tokens. They can keep a session working, remember a choice, protect a form or help an external service complete a requested action.
2. Necessary website cookies
BAQA may use strictly necessary cookies or storage for login sessions, account security, form protection, load balancing, saved interface choices and other functions requested by the user. Blocking these can prevent registration, login, member portals, applications, payments or private client pages from working correctly.
3. Third-party services
A page that loads PayPal, embedded video, anti-spam protection or another external feature may allow that provider to set its own cookies or collect technical information. Those providers publish their own privacy and cookie information. BAQA aims to load third-party features only where they support a service the visitor requests.
4. Analytics and advertising
At the date shown above, BAQA does not deliberately use advertising or behavioural-tracking cookies on ordinary public page views. If non-essential analytics, advertising or similar tracking is introduced, this policy and the website controls must be updated and consent requested where required.
5. Your controls
You can review, block or delete cookies using browser settings. Private or incognito mode may reduce storage after a session but does not make activity anonymous. Blocking all cookies can break necessary website functions.
Where BAQA presents a cookie-choice tool, you can use it to change non-essential preferences. Necessary cookies cannot be disabled through that tool because they are required for the requested service.
6. Review and contact
BAQA reviews cookie use when plugins and external services change. Questions can be sent through the contact form. For more information about personal information and international processing, read the Privacy Policy.
