This Cookie Policy explains how Banistas Inc. ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners.

Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device until deleted or until they expire) or "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser).

3. Cookies We Use

We take a minimal approach to cookies. We only use cookies that are strictly necessary for our website to function properly. We do not use analytics, advertising, or third-party tracking cookies.

4. Third-Party Cookies

We do not use third-party cookies for analytics, advertising, or tracking purposes. The only cookies on our website are first-party cookies essential for the website to function.

If we integrate third-party services in the future that require cookies, we will update this policy and obtain your consent where required.
