Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 4, 2026
1. What are cookies
Cookies are small pieces of data a website stores in your browser. The ones we use today are all strictly necessary or functional. If we add analytics or advertising cookies in the future, they will only be set after you accept them in the cookie banner described below.
2. Cookies we use
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| cut_refresh | Strictly necessary. An httpOnly session cookie that keeps you signed in across page reloads. Can't be read by JavaScript. | Up to 30 days, or until you sign out |
| NEXT_LOCALE | Functional. Remembers your preferred language (English or Bengali) so you don't have to reselect it each visit. | 1 year |
| theme | Functional. Remembers whether you prefer light or dark mode. | 1 year |
| cookie_consent | Strictly necessary. Remembers whether you accepted or declined optional cookies, so we don't ask again on every visit. | 1 year |
3. Cookie consent
On your first visit, we show a banner asking whether you accept analytics/advertising cookies in addition to the strictly necessary ones above. Choosing "Accept" or "Necessary only" stores your choice for a year so we don't ask again on every visit. Nothing beyond the necessary cookies listed above is set unless you accept.
You can change your mind at any time using the button below — it clears your saved choice and shows the banner again on your next page view.
4. Pixels on customer short links
Cut.bd lets customers attach their own retargeting pixels (from ad platforms like Facebook, Google, or TikTok) to the short links they create. If you click a short link created by a Cut.bd customer, that customer's pixel may fire on the redirect — that's configured and controlled by the link creator, not by Cut.bd's own marketing site or dashboard.
5. Managing cookies
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies in their settings. Since `cut_refresh` is what keeps you signed in, blocking it will sign you out. Blocking `NEXT_LOCALE` or `theme` just means we won't remember your preference between visits.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy if the cookies we use change. We'll update the "Last updated" date above when we do.
