Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

Benaglobal (“we”, “our”, or “us”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website benaglobal.com (the “Service”). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we deploy, your rights under applicable data protection laws—including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy Directive—and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide reporting information, and deliver a more personalized browsing experience.

Cookies may be first-party (set by the website you are visiting) or third-party (set by a domain different from the one you are visiting). They may be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).

3. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

• Authentication & Security: To recognize you when you sign in, keep your session secure, and protect the Service from fraudulent activity.
• Preferences:To remember your choices—such as your cookie consent preferences, language, or region—so you don't have to re-enter them on every visit.
• Analytics & Performance: To understand how visitors interact with our Service, measure page performance, identify errors, and improve the overall user experience. We use privacy-focused analytics that anonymize IP addresses and do not build user profiles for advertising.
• Functional: To enable core website functionality—such as form submissions, load balancing, and multimedia playback—that the Service could not provide without these cookies.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

5. Legal Basis for Processing

Under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive, we rely on the following legal bases when placing cookies on your device:

• Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR): For all non-essential cookies—including analytics, preferences, and functional cookies—we obtain your prior, informed, and unambiguous consent via our cookie banner. You may withdraw consent at any time.
• Legitimate Interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) / Strictly Necessary Exemption: For cookies that are essential to provide the Service you have requested—such as authentication, security, and session management—we do not require your consent under Art. 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive as implemented by EU Member States.

6. Your Rights & How to Manage Cookies

You have full control over the cookies placed on your device:

• Cookie Banner: When you first visit our Service, our cookie banner lets you accept all cookies or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored for 12 months.
• Browser Settings:Most web browsers allow you to block, delete, or manage cookies through their settings. Refer to your browser's help section:ChromeFirefoxSafariEdge
• Opt-Out Tools: Industry bodies provide centralized opt-out mechanisms. For interest-based advertising, visit Your Online Choices (EU) or Network Advertising Initiative (US).

Under the GDPR, you also have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, and port the personal data we process, as well as the right to object to processing and to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. See our Privacy Policy for full details on exercising these rights.

7. Third-Party Services

We use a limited set of trusted third-party services that may also place cookies on your device:

• Vercel Analytics: Privacy-focused, anonymous website analytics that do not use persistent identifiers, fingerprinting, or cross-site tracking. IP addresses are not stored. See Vercel Analytics Privacy.
• Hosting Infrastructure: Our hosting provider may place strictly necessary cookies for load balancing, security (DDoS protection), and bot detection. These are essential to deliver the Service and are exempt from consent requirements.

We do not use cookies for advertising, retargeting, or cross-site tracking. We do not sell personal data or share it with ad networks.

8. Data Retention

Cookie lifetimes vary by category as described in Section 4. Data collected through cookies is retained only as long as necessary to fulfil the stated purpose. Analytics data is retained for a maximum of 26 months. Consent records are kept for the duration required by applicable law to demonstrate compliance (typically 3–5 years).

9. International Data Transfers

Some of our third-party processors may process data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Where this occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place—such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, or an adequacy decision for the recipient country—to protect your personal data in accordance with GDPR requirements.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, or legal obligations. The “Last updated” date at the top indicates when the policy was last revised. Material changes will be communicated via a notice on our Service. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
