What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser and reads back on later visits. Similar technologies include the browser's local storage (localStorage, sessionStorage, IndexedDB). Under Directive 2002/58/EC (Art. 5(3)) and Greek Law 3471/2006 (Art. 4(5)), storing or reading information on your device needs your consent unless it is strictly necessary to provide a service you explicitly asked for. Where personal data is involved, the GDPR also applies; see the Privacy policy.
The builtfold.com website
The website builtfold.com sets no cookies at all and uses no statistics, advertising or tracking tools, nor does it embed third-party content (videos, maps, social media buttons).
The only thing stored is your theme choice (light or dark), if you change it at the bottom of the page. It stays on your device and is never sent anywhere.
| Name | Technology | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| bf-theme | localStorage | Remembers the theme you chose (light or dark). Stored only if you use the switch. | Until you delete it or choose "Match device" |
The application
The application (app.builtfold.com and the workspaces at <name>.builtfold.com) uses only first-party cookies that are strictly necessary for you to sign in and to protect your account. They apply to the .builtfold.com domain, so you stay signed in when you move from app.builtfold.com to your workspace. They are sent over HTTPS only.
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| builtfold-session | Keeps you signed in (session). Not readable by JavaScript. | 12 hours after your last activity | First-party, strictly necessary |
| XSRF-TOKEN | Protection against cross-site request forgery (CSRF): confirms that each change was requested by the application itself. | 12 hours after your last activity | First-party, strictly necessary |
| remember_web_… | Keeps you signed in on this device. Set only if you leave "Remember me on this device" ticked when signing in; removed when you sign out. | Up to 400 days | First-party, necessary for the feature you asked for |
Storage on your device
The application also uses the browser's local storage, only for features you use. None of it is used for tracking.
| Name | Technology | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| builtfold-offline | IndexedDB | Daily report drafts and the upload queue for photos and voice notes, so nothing is lost when the site has no signal. | Until sent or deleted by you |
| bf.locked | sessionStorage | Remembers that the screen locked after inactivity, so a page refresh does not unlock it. | Until the tab is closed |
| builtfold.legacy-grant-tenant | sessionStorage | Platform administrators only: remembers which workspace a Google Drive connection is being completed for. | Until the tab is closed |
Third parties
There are no third-party cookies for statistics or advertising, on the website or in the application.
Sign in with Google. The application's sign-in page and invitation page show the "Sign in with Google" button, which is loaded from Google (accounts.google.com). Google may use its own cookies on its own domain, under its own privacy policy. Builtfold has no access to those cookies; we receive details from Google only when you click the button and choose an account. If you prefer not to use Google, sign in with email and password.
Why we do not ask for consent
Everything above is either strictly necessary for the service you ask for (signing in, security) or stored only when you use the related feature (theme, drafts). The law does not require consent for these, which is why we show no cookie banner.
If we ever add cookies or tools that are not strictly necessary (for example visitor statistics), we will ask for your consent first, with refusing as easy as accepting, and update this page.
How to delete or block them
You can view, delete or block cookies and site data in your browser's settings:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies / Site data.
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions.
If you block builtfold.com's necessary cookies, you will not be able to sign in to the application. Signing out ends your session; clearing site data also deletes drafts that have not been sent yet.
