Our approach
We keep browser storage to the minimum the platform needs to work. There are no analytics cookies, no advertising cookies and no third-party trackers on the platform.
Cookie Information
BM Discounter uses strictly functional cookies only. This page lists exactly what is stored in your browser and why.
What we use
Every entry below is generated from the platform's own code, so this list is the same list the software works from. It names each key, who sets it, where it is processed, what it is for and how long it is kept.
What we do not use
- Analytics or statistics cookies
- Advertising or marketing cookies
- Third-party trackers or social-media pixels
- Cross-site profiles of any kind
Managing cookies in your browser
You can view, block or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Because our cookies are strictly functional, blocking them mainly affects signing in and remembering your preferences — comparison itself keeps working without an account.
Changes
If the platform ever introduces a new category of cookies, this page is updated first and consent is requested where the law requires it.
On the public website
| Name | Type | Category | Purpose | Set by | Processed in | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| bmd_public_session | Cookie | Strictly necessary | Keeps you signed in to your account. Without it, signing in is impossible. | BM Discounter (first party) | Netherlands (EU) | 30 days maximum, and sooner if the session goes idle or you sign out |
| bmd_cookie_consent | Cookie | Strictly necessary | Records the storage choice you made, so the notice is not shown again and the choice can be honoured and revised. | BM Discounter (first party) | Netherlands (EU) | 12 months, or until you clear it |
| bm:saved-products | Local storage | Functional | Remembers the products you saved so the list survives a reload. | BM Discounter (first party) | Stays in your browser — never sent to us | Until you clear it or clear your browser storage |
| bm:compare-products | Local storage | Functional | Remembers the products in your comparison between pages. | BM Discounter (first party) | Stays in your browser — never sent to us | Until you clear it or clear your browser storage |
| bm:guest-prefs | Local storage | Functional | Remembers the comparisons you built recently, and whether you have agreed that they may move to an account if you sign in. Until you agree, they stay on this device. | BM Discounter (first party) | Stays in your browser — never sent to us | Until you clear it from the compare hub, or clear your browser storage |
| bm:review-draft:* | Local storage | Functional | Keeps a review you are part-way through writing, so a refresh or the back button does not destroy it. One entry per product. It holds what you typed — never the consent statements, which you make each time, and never the photos, which cannot be stored this way. | BM Discounter (first party) | Stays in your browser — never sent to us | 14 days, or until the review is submitted or you discard the draft |
| bm:sp-imp:* | Session storage | Functional | Prevents the same sponsored placement being counted twice in one browsing session. It records that a placement was already counted — not who you are. | BM Discounter (first party) | Netherlands (EU) | Cleared when you close the browser tab |
In the internal staff environment
| Name | Type | Category | Purpose | Set by | Processed in | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| bmd_admin_session | Cookie | Strictly necessary | Keeps BM Discounter staff signed in to the internal management environment. | BM Discounter (first party) | Netherlands (EU) | 4 hours maximum |
| bmd-admin-theme | Local storage | Functional | Client-side copy of a staff member's light/dark choice, so the internal environment does not flash the wrong theme before the cookie is read. | BM Discounter (first party) | Stays in the browser — never sent to us | Until it is cleared, or the staff member switches back to following the system theme |
| bmd_admin_theme · bmd_admin_density · bmd_admin_lang | Cookie | Functional | Remembers a staff member's interface theme, density and language in the internal environment. | BM Discounter (first party) | Netherlands (EU) | 12 months, or until changed |
No analytics, advertising or third-party storage is used. This list is generated from the platform's own code.
Your storage preference
Optional storage is anything beyond what the platform needs to function. There is none on BM Discounter today, so this choice currently releases nothing — it is recorded so that it already applies if that ever changes.
