Cookie Policy — Bistari Labs

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your device — your computer, phone, or tablet — when you visit. The site can read these files on your next visit to recognise you or recall your preferences.

They are not programs and cannot carry viruses. They help websites work properly, count visitors, and remember settings so you do not have to re-enter them every time.

Bistari Labs uses a small set of cookies to keep this site running reliably and to understand, in broad terms, how visitors use it. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles or sell your data.
