What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit, such as your preferences and actions, making your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.
How We Use Cookies
brave-spire uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyze site usage, and improve our services. We only use cookies that are necessary for website functionality or that you have consented to.

Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions you take, such as setting privacy preferences or filling in forms.
- Cookie consent tracking: Remembers your cookie preferences so we don't repeatedly show the cookie banner
- Session management: Maintains your session state as you navigate through pages
Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This allows us to improve website functionality and content.
- Page view tracking: Records which pages you visit and how long you spend on them

Third-Party Cookies
We may use services from third-party providers that set their own cookies. These services help us analyze website performance and user behavior. Third parties include:
- Analytics providers that help us understand site usage patterns

We carefully select third-party providers and ensure they comply with applicable data protection requirements.
Local Storage and Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, we use browser local storage to save certain information on your device. This includes:
- Cookie consent preferences

Local storage serves similar purposes to cookies but persists longer and is not transmitted with every server request.

Cookies we use fall into two categories based on duration:
Session Cookies
These temporary cookies are deleted when you close your browser. They help maintain your session as you navigate the site.

These cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They remember your preferences across visits. Our persistent cookies typically expire after:
- Cookie consent preferences: 12 months
- Analytics data: 24 months
- Functional preferences: 6 months

Impact of Blocking Cookies
Blocking cookies may affect website functionality. If you disable cookies:
