Cookie Notice
Version 1.1 · Last updated October 16, 2026
This Cookie Notice explains how BVJ Consulting ("BVJ," "we," "us" or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on bvjconsulting.com and its free tools (the "Site") and in the BVJ Portal at app.bvjconsulting.com (the "Portal"). It is part of our Privacy Policy.
What cookies are
Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or phone when you visit a website. Some last only until you close your browser (session cookies); others stay until they expire or you delete them (persistent cookies). Cookies set by the website you are visiting are first-party cookies; cookies set by another company's service on that website are third-party cookies. Websites can also store information in your browser in other ways, such as browser local storage, which works much like a cookie.
What we use
On the Site
| Type | What it does | Who sets it | How to control it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Analytics | Google Analytics counts visits and shows us which pages and tools are used, where visitors come from and how long they stay. Its cookies are named _ga and _ga_ followed by an identifier, and last up to two years. | Google (privacy policy) | Use our opt-out link below, install the Google Analytics opt-out add-on, or block cookies in your browser |
| Visitor identification | Gojiberry, a sales prospecting service, works out which company a visit comes from, mainly from your IP address, and records the pages viewed, so that we can contact people at companies that show an interest in our services. It keeps a visit identifier and a device identifier (gojiberry_session, gojiberry_device_id and entries starting with radar_) in your browser's session storage, which is cleared when you close the tab. | Gojiberry (privacy policy) | Use your browser's tracking protection or block third-party scripts, or write to us and we will not contact you on the basis of your visit |
| Preferences | Our calculators remember the language you chose, and whether you have turned analytics off, in your browser's local storage. Nothing is sent to us. | BVJ | Clear your browser's site data |
In the Portal
| Type | What it does | Who sets it | How to control it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | The bvj_session cookie keeps you signed in. It is required for the Portal to work. | BVJ | Signing out ends it; blocking it prevents sign-in |
| Essential | The bvj_2fa cookie links the password step of sign-in to the emailed code step. It lasts 30 minutes. | BVJ | Required to sign in |
| Essential | The bvj_device cookie remembers a device you have chosen to trust, so you are not asked for an emailed sign-in code on it for 30 days. | BVJ | Clear it in your browser, or do not choose to trust the device |
The Portal does not use analytics, visitor identification or advertising cookies. Neither the Site nor the Portal uses advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, or cookies that follow you across other websites for advertising.
Turning analytics off
You can stop Google Analytics in your browser at any time by visiting this link. It saves your choice in your browser, and the Site will no longer load Google Analytics there. To turn analytics back on, visit this link. Your choice applies to the browser you use and is lost if you clear its site data. This link turns off Google Analytics only; it does not stop visitor identification.
Visitor identification
Visitor identification tells us which company a visit to the Site likely comes from, not who you are. We use it to decide whom to approach about our services, for example by a LinkedIn invitation or message to people in a relevant role at that company. To ask us not to contact you on the basis of your visits, write to benjamin@bvjconsulting.com; we will exclude you, and your company if you ask, from this outreach.
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking the Portal's essential cookies will prevent you from signing in.
Changes
We will update this Cookie Notice if we change the cookies we use, and post the new version with its date.
