Cookies policy

A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to remember. We use two of them, both first-party (set only for thebeesthoney.com), both functional, and neither used for advertising or tracking across other sites.

The cookies we set

`beest_lang` — language preference

Stores en or ka when you toggle the language switch in the nav. Without it, the site would re-detect your browser's preferred language on every visit and bounce you to the other locale even when you've already chosen. Lifetime: one year.

`beest_cookie_consent` — your answer to this banner

Stores accepted or declined after you respond to the cookie banner, so we don't show it again. Lifetime: one year.

What we do not use

No third-party advertising cookies (Google Ads, Meta, etc.).
No analytics cookies — Cloudflare Web Analytics, which we do use, is cookie-free.
No social-media pixels.
No fingerprinting libraries.

Your choices

You can:

Decline the banner — we record the decline in beest_cookie_consent and don't ask again. The two functional cookies above are strictly necessary for the preferences they store; declining does not remove them, but they only fire if you actually use the language toggle or respond to the banner.
Clear cookies in your browser at any time — Settings → Privacy in most browsers. The site will then re-detect your language preference and re-show the banner.
Block all cookies in your browser — the site will still load and read correctly. The language toggle just won't persist between visits.

Server-side state

The site uses a Cloudflare KV-backed session store for any temporary server-side state (currently unused by the homepage). If a session ID cookie appears in future, it will be listed here.
