Cookie Policy
What cookies the babel42.io website uses and how to control them. Last updated 31 May 2026.
This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on the babel42.io marketing website. The Babel42 application at app.babel42.io is covered by its own in-product privacy policy. For how we handle personal data here, see our Privacy notice.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. Some are essential for the site to function; others are optional and help us understand how the site is used. Under UK and EU law we must get your consent before setting any non-essential cookie — so optional cookies stay off until you opt in.
Strictly necessary
These are required for the site to work and can't be switched off. They don't track you or store anything we'd use for marketing.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| babel42_consent | Babel42 (first-party) | Remembers your cookie choices so we don't ask on every page. | 180 days |
Analytics (optional)
We use Google Analytics to see which pages are useful, in aggregate. These cookies are only set if you opt in. We run Google Consent Mode, so until you accept, Google sets no analytics cookies. IP addresses are anonymised and we don't use this data for advertising.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics | Distinguishes visitors and measures aggregate, anonymised site usage. | Up to 2 years |
Managing your choices
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time:
- Use the dialog (also linked in the footer of every page).
- Or clear cookies in your browser settings — most browsers let you block or delete cookies per site.
Changes
We'll update this policy if the cookies we use change, and revise the date at the top. Questions? Email hello@babel42.io.
