COOKIE POLICY

Last Updated: August 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how BKES Information Technology Solutions, operating under the BKE Digital Solutions brand (“BKE,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), may use cookies and similar browser technologies on BKE websites and web-based Services.

This Policy should be read together with the BKE Privacy Policy.

---

1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small data files that a website may store on a user’s browser or device.

Web applications may also use related technologies such as:

• local storage;

• session storage;

• authentication tokens;

• pixels;

• tags; and

• similar browser or device technologies.

For purposes of this Policy, these technologies are collectively referred to as “Cookies” unless otherwise stated.

---

2. STRICTLY NECESSARY COOKIES

BKE may use Cookies that are necessary to provide website or Account functionality.

These may be used for:

• authentication;

• Account login;

• session management;

• checkout;

• transaction security;

• fraud prevention;

• CSRF protection;

• load balancing;

• security controls;

• maintaining selected settings during a session; and

• remembering privacy choices.

Blocking necessary Cookies may prevent parts of a BKE Service from functioning.

---

3. PREFERENCE COOKIES

Where used, preference Cookies may remember choices such as:

• display preferences;

• language;

• remembered interface options; or

• other non-essential preferences.

---

4. ANALYTICS COOKIES

BKE may use analytics technologies to understand how visitors use its websites and Services.

Analytics may help measure:

• page visits;

• general traffic;

• feature usage;

• errors;

• performance;

• navigation patterns; and

• aggregate usage trends.

Where required by applicable law, non-essential analytics Cookies will be used only after appropriate consent.

---

5. MARKETING COOKIES

BKE may use marketing or advertising Cookies only if such functionality is actually enabled.

These technologies may help measure campaigns or display relevant advertising.

Where applicable law requires consent, BKE will request consent before using non-essential advertising Cookies.

BKE does not claim to use a particular advertising network, pixel, or tracking provider unless that technology is actually deployed.

---

6. FIRST-PARTY AND THIRD-PARTY COOKIES

First-party Cookies are placed by BKE-controlled websites.

Third-party Cookies may be placed by independent services integrated into a website, such as an analytics, payment, support, video, authentication, or other technology provider.

Third-party providers may process information under their own privacy policies.

---

7. SESSION AND PERSISTENT COOKIES

Some Cookies expire when the browser session ends.

Others may remain for a defined period to maintain security, preferences, analytics, or other functionality.

BKE will not intentionally retain Cookies longer than reasonably necessary for their purpose.

---

8. MANAGING COOKIES

Users can ordinarily control Cookies through browser settings.

Depending upon the browser, users may:

• view stored Cookies;

• delete Cookies;

• block Cookies;

• clear site data; or

• restrict third-party Cookies.

Blocking strictly necessary Cookies may prevent login, checkout, Account access, or other essential functions.

---

9. COOKIE CONSENT

Where required, BKE may display a Cookie consent interface allowing users to:

• accept optional Cookies;

• reject optional Cookies; or

• manage available Cookie categories.

Strictly necessary Cookies may operate without optional Cookie consent where legally permitted because they are required to provide the requested Service.

---

10. DO NOT TRACK

Browser “Do Not Track” signals are not implemented consistently across the Internet.

BKE may instead rely upon available privacy settings, Cookie preferences, and legally required opt-out mechanisms.

---

11. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

BKE may update this Cookie Policy when its website technologies or legal obligations change.

The “Last Updated” date identifies the current version.
