Last updated: June 2026

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Setup Forge uses cookies and similar technologies on the website and platform.

Cookies are small files or pieces of information stored on the user's device by the browser or web application. Similar technologies, such as localStorage or sessionStorage, may be used to store technical preferences or information necessary for the platform to function.

3. Types of Cookies Used

Setup Forge may use the following categories of cookies or similar technologies:

a. Essential Technical Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the proper functioning of the website and platform.

They may be used to:

  • maintain the user session;
  • allow login;
  • remember technical preferences;
  • store the user's cookie choice;
  • ensure service security and stability.

Essential technical cookies do not require consent because they are necessary to provide the service requested by the user.

b. Analytical Cookies

Analytical cookies may be used to collect statistical information about the use of the website or platform.

This information may help us understand, for example:

  • which pages are visited;
  • which features are used;
  • possible errors or navigation issues;
  • how to improve the user experience.

Non-essential analytical cookies are activated only with the user's consent.

If the user rejects analytical cookies, Setup Forge will continue to function using essential technical cookies only.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies Currently Used

Setup Forge may use technologies such as cookies, localStorage, or sessionStorage for technical purposes.

Examples of information that may be stored include:

  • cookie consent preference;
  • session status;
  • essential technical preferences;
  • settings required for the platform to function.

In the current cookie banner implementation, the user's preference is stored in the browser through a local key called:

cookie_consent

This information is used to remember whether the user has accepted all cookies or selected essential cookies only.

5. Essential Technical Cookies

Essential technical cookies are used exclusively to allow the correct operation of the service.

These cookies may include:

  • session cookies;
  • authentication cookies;
  • security cookies;
  • technical preferences;
  • cookie choice storage.

Without these cookies, some website or app features may not work properly.

6. Analytical Cookies

Setup Forge may use analytical cookies only if the user gives consent through the cookie banner.

Analytical cookies are used to improve the platform through aggregated statistics or data limited to analytics purposes.

Where available, Setup Forge will adopt privacy-friendly configurations, such as:

  • IP address anonymization or masking, where supported;
  • collection of aggregated data;
  • limited retention;
  • exclusion of advertising purposes, unless otherwise communicated.

7. Marketing Cookies

Setup Forge does not use advertising or profiling cookies for behavioral marketing purposes, unless otherwise communicated and subject to the user's consent.

If marketing cookies or profiling tools are introduced in the future, this Cookie Policy will be updated and specific consent will be requested.

8. Third-Party Providers and Cookies

Setup Forge is built on Base44, the technology platform that hosts and operates the application. Base44 and the cloud infrastructure providers it relies on may process technical data, including cookies or similar technologies, necessary for the platform to function. This infrastructure is located in the United States.

Other features of the website or platform may depend on additional technical providers, such as:

  • authentication services;
  • email delivery services;
  • analytics tools, if enabled;
  • video services or embedded content, if present.

These providers may process technical data or use cookies according to their own policies. Where possible, Setup Forge limits the use of non-essential cookies and requests user consent before enabling technologies that are not necessary.

9. Consent Management

On the first visit, the user may see a cookie banner.

The banner allows the user to:

  • accept all cookies;
  • use essential cookies only;
  • access the Privacy Policy.

If the user selects "Essential only", analytical cookies are not activated.

If the user selects "Accept all", analytical cookies may also be activated, where present.

10. Withdrawal or Change of Consent

The user may withdraw or change cookie consent at any time.

If no dedicated preference panel is available, the user may:

  • delete cookies from the browser;
  • delete website data from the browser;
  • clear localStorage or sessionStorage;
  • contact Setup Forge at setupforge@setupforge.net.

After the preference is deleted, the cookie banner may appear again.

11. Cookie Duration

Cookie duration depends on their purpose.

Session cookies are deleted when the browser is closed or the session ends.

Cookie preferences may remain stored in the browser until manually deleted by the user or until the configured technical expiration date.

Analytical cookies, if used, are retained for the period indicated by the relevant provider or by the configuration adopted by Setup Forge.

12. Legal Basis

For essential technical cookies, processing is necessary to provide the service requested by the user and to ensure the platform functions properly.

For non-essential analytical cookies, processing is based on the user's consent.

13. Effects of Refusing Cookies

Refusing analytical cookies does not prevent the use of the platform. However, some aggregated analysis useful for improving the service will not be carried out.

Refusing or disabling essential technical cookies through browser settings may prevent the website or app from functioning properly.

14. Managing Cookies Through the Browser

Users can manage or delete cookies through their browser settings. The process may vary depending on the browser used.

In general, browser settings allow users to:

  • view saved cookies;
  • delete cookies;
  • block cookies;
  • clear website data;
  • manage domain-specific permissions.

15. Changes to This Cookie Policy

Setup Forge may update this Cookie Policy to reflect technical, legal, or functional changes.

In case of relevant changes, users will be informed through the website, the app, or the cookie banner.
