Cookie policy
Booking Desks uses only what is strictly needed to work: no advertising, no analytics, no cross-site tracking. That is why you do not see a cookie banner.

1. What cookies and browser storage are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Local storage and service workers are similar browser features that let a web app remember settings and work quickly, including when it is installed on your home screen.
Under the Slovak Electronic Communications Act (Act No. 452/2021 Coll.) and the EU ePrivacy Directive, storage that is strictly necessary to provide a service you asked for does not require consent. Everything we use falls into that category.
2. What we use
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| better-auth.session_token (with a __Secure- prefix on HTTPS) | Cookie, first party, HTTP-only | Keeps you signed in to your workspace. Set only on your organisation's own address. | Up to 30 days, renewed while you use the app; removed when you sign out |
| Sign-in state cookies (better-auth.state and similar) | Cookie, first party, HTTP-only | Protect a Google or Microsoft sign-in against forgery while it is in progress | A few minutes |
| bd_known_device | Cookie, first party, HTTP-only | Set when you sign in with your password, or reset it, on this browser. It says this browser has signed in to your account before, so that someone guessing your password from elsewhere cannot lock you out. It holds a signed code, not your email or password, and is sent only to our sign-in. | 180 days from your last sign-in with a password on this browser; it stays when you sign out |
| BD_LOCALE | Cookie, first party | Remembers the language you chose, or the one saved in your account, on this device | 1 year, or until you choose another language |
| theme | Local storage | Remembers whether you chose light or dark mode | Until you clear it |
| weather.facilityId | Local storage | Remembers which of your organisation's locations you chose to see the weather for | Until you clear it |
| dashboard.preferencesCta.dismissed | Local storage | Remembers that you dismissed a tip on the dashboard | Until you clear it |
| Service worker (sw.js) | Browser service worker | Lets the app be installed on your home screen and receive push notifications you turned on | Until you uninstall the app or clear site data |
Push notifications are only used after you allow them in your browser. You can turn them off in the app's account settings or in your browser at any time.
The phone app keeps your session, and the same signed code that it has signed in before, in your phone's secure storage instead of cookies, and sets no other cookies.
Signing out removes the session cookie. It also turns off push notifications in that browser, so they do not go on arriving for whoever uses it next.
3. Third parties
We do not load advertising, social media or analytics scripts, and our fonts are served from our own servers. When you choose to sign in with Google or Microsoft, you are briefly taken to their site, where their own cookie policies apply. If your profile picture comes from Google, your browser loads it from Google's servers.
Paid plans are bought in Stripe Checkout and managed in Stripe's customer portal. Both run on Stripe's own pages, where Stripe sets the cookies it needs for payments and fraud prevention under its own Cookie policy. We set none there.
4. How to control them
You can delete cookies and site data in your browser settings at any time. If you delete the session cookie you will be signed out; the app will not work if you block it entirely.
5. Changes
If we ever add storage that is not strictly necessary, such as analytics, we will ask for your consent first and update this page.
