Cookie Policy
Last updated: November 6, 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how Bifutay ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit or interact with our website at bifutay.com. It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control their use.
By continuing to use our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. Where your consent is required, you may withdraw it at any time using the methods described below.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — such as your computer, tablet, or smartphone — 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.
Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or install malware on your device. They contain only small pieces of data and can only be read by the website that created them, or by authorised third-party services associated with that website.
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, local storage objects, and session storage. For simplicity, this policy refers to all such technologies collectively as "cookies".
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We use several categories of cookies on our website. Each category serves a distinct purpose, as described below.
2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as logging in, filling in forms, or setting privacy preferences. Without these cookies, certain services you have requested cannot be provided.
Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of the website, they do not require your consent and are always active.
2.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and understand how visitors interact with our website. They help us measure and improve the performance of our platform by collecting information about which pages are visited most often, how long users spend on each page, and any error messages encountered.
All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not be able to monitor or improve our website's performance.
2.3 Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. They allow the website to remember choices you make — such as your preferred language, region, or display settings — so that we can provide a more personalised experience.
If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these features may not function correctly.
2.4 Targeting and Advertising Cookies
These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and device.
If you do not allow these cookies, you will still see advertisements, but they will be less tailored to your interests.
2.5 Session Cookies and Persistent Cookies
Cookies can also be classified by how long they remain on your device. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. We use both types depending on the purpose they serve.
3. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
Cookies set directly by Bifutay are called first-party cookies. We also permit certain trusted third parties to place cookies on your device when you use our website. These are referred to as third-party cookies.
Third parties may include analytics providers, payment processors, session management tools, and services that support the delivery of our educational platform. Each third party is responsible for its own cookies and privacy practices. We recommend reviewing the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party services you interact with through our platform.
We do not sell or share cookie-derived data with unauthorised third parties.
4. Cookies Used on Our Platform
The table below provides an overview of the main categories of cookies used on bifutay.com. Specific cookie names and durations may vary and are subject to change as we update our services.
| Category | Purpose | Duration | Party |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Authentication, session management, security tokens | Session / up to 1 year | First-party |

5. How We Obtain Your Consent
Where applicable law requires consent before placing certain cookies on your device, we will request your consent through a cookie consent notice displayed on your first visit to our website. You may accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences by category.
Your consent is recorded and stored so that we do not need to ask again on subsequent visits, unless your preferences expire or you choose to reset them. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent and will be placed regardless of your selection.
We do not use pre-ticked boxes or any mechanism that assumes consent by default for non-essential cookies.
6. Managing and Controlling Cookies
You have several options for managing cookies. You may update your preferences at any time using the cookie settings tool available on our website. In addition, most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings.
6.1 Browser Settings
You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. The following links provide guidance for common browsers:
Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
Mozilla Firefox: Options → Privacy and Security → Cookies and Site Data
Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data
Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website and your ability to access some features of our platform, including login and session continuity.
6.2 Opt-Out Tools
For cookies related to analytics and advertising, you may also use industry opt-out tools provided by third parties. These tools allow you to opt out of interest-based tracking across participating services. Opting out does not remove cookies already placed on your device but prevents new tracking cookies from being set by participating parties.
6.3 Mobile Devices
If you access our website on a mobile device, you can manage cookie preferences through your device's privacy or browser settings. The specific options available will depend on your operating system and browser application.
7. Cookies and Personal Data
Some cookies we use may collect information that, alone or in combination with other data, constitutes personal data under applicable privacy laws. Where cookies process personal data, such processing is governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes the legal basis for processing, your rights as a data subject, and how to exercise those rights.
We encourage you to read our Privacy Policy in conjunction with this Cookie Policy for a complete understanding of how we collect and use your information.
8. Cookies in Email Communications
Our email communications may contain pixel tags or similar technologies that allow us to determine whether an email has been opened and whether links within the email have been clicked. This information helps us measure the effectiveness of our communications and improve the relevance of content we send to you.
If you prefer not to be tracked in this way, you may choose to receive plain-text emails or disable automatic image loading in your email client settings.
9. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our business practices. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you through our website or by other means.
We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies. Your continued use of our website after any changes have been published constitutes your acknowledgement of those changes.
