What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that websites send to the user's browser, where they are stored and retransmitted to the same sites on subsequent visits. Cookies are used for various purposes, have different characteristics, and can be used by both the site owner and third parties.

Cookies Used by This Site

This site does not use cookies for storing user preferences. Instead, it uses the browser's localStorage, a client-side storage mechanism that is not transmitted to the server and does not expire. The following keys are stored locally:

Key
Purpose
Duration
bhve-theme
Saves theme preference (light/dark)
Persistent (until cleared)
bhve-cookie-consent
Records user's cookie consent
Persistent (until cleared)
bhve-lang
Saves language preference (EN/IT)
Persistent (until cleared)

Third-Party Cookies

This site does not use profiling cookies or third-party cookies for advertising or tracking purposes. The site collects anonymous aggregate usage statistics (page visited and date only, as daily counters) to monitor performance; this system operates entirely without cookies, session identifiers, or any form of persistent client-side storage — it is therefore not listed in the cookie table above.

However, the site embeds a SoundCloud audio player on the homepage. When the player loads, SoundCloud may set its own cookies and collect data according to its own privacy policy. This embed is loaded lazily (only when you scroll to the relevant section). For more information, see SoundCloud's Privacy Policy and SoundCloud's Cookie Policy.

The site also embeds YouTube videos (Google Ireland Limited) on the Radio page. Videos are embedded using the enhanced privacy mode (youtube-nocookie.com), which means YouTube does not set cookies or collect data until the user actively plays a video. Once played, YouTube may set its own cookies and collect usage data. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy and Google's Cookie Policy.

Managing Cookies

Users can manage cookie preferences directly within their browser. However, disabling technical cookies may compromise some site features (e.g., theme preference saving).
