This Cookie Policy explains how BS Inspector by Sawary Trading LLC ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website (bsinspector.io) and Chrome Extension. This policy is required under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

Note: The Chrome Extension itself does not use browser cookies. It uses chrome.storage.local — local device storage that never leaves your browser. This is covered separately in Section 3 below.


1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how you interact with the site. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and browser extension storage APIs.


2. Cookies on Our Website (bsinspector.io)

We use the following cookies on our website:

Cookie Name Type Duration Purpose
__session Essential Session Firebase Authentication session — required to keep you logged in to your account.
stripe_mid Essential 1 year Stripe fraud prevention — required for payment processing. Set by Stripe, Inc.
stripe_sid Essential 30 minutes Stripe checkout session identifier. Set by Stripe, Inc.
bs_consent Functional 1 year Stores your cookie consent preferences so we do not ask you again on every visit.
Google Analytics (_ga, _gid) Analytics Up to 2 years Aggregated, anonymized usage statistics to help us understand how visitors use our website. Set only after you give explicit consent.

Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they are strictly necessary for the website to function correctly. You will be asked for consent before any analytics cookies are placed.


3. Extension Storage (chrome.storage.local)

The Chrome Extension does not use browser cookies. Instead, it uses chrome.storage.local — a browser API that stores data locally on your device. This data is never transmitted to our servers unless it is explicitly part of a scan request you initiate. The following data is stored in the Extension:

Data Key Duration Purpose
Scan cache (L1) 24 hours Stores recent analysis results locally to avoid duplicate API calls and save your credits when re-visiting a recently scanned product.
Snoozed sites Until cleared Remembers which websites you have asked BS Inspector to hide its button on, or snooze for 24 hours.
User preferences Until cleared Extension UI settings and personal configuration options.
Authentication token Session / until logout Your Firebase authentication token, allowing you to stay logged in to the Extension without entering your password on every use.

You can clear all Extension storage at any time by going to Chrome Settings → Extensions → BS Inspector → Clear data, or by uninstalling the Extension entirely.


4. Third-Party Cookies

Our website integrates with third-party services that may set their own cookies independently:

We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or allow any third-party ad networks to track you through our website or Extension.


5. Your Choices & How to Control Cookies

Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit bsinspector.io, a cookie consent banner will appear. You can choose to accept all cookies or only essential cookies. You may change your preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in our website footer.

Browser Settings

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being set. Note that disabling essential cookies may prevent parts of our website — including account login and checkout — from functioning correctly. Instructions for major browsers:

  • Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
  • Mozilla Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
  • Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and Website Data
  • Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

Opt Out of Google Analytics

You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data across all websites by installing the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.


6. Do Not Track (DNT)

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting. Our website does not currently respond to DNT signals, as there is no industry-wide standard for how to interpret them. However, you can use the controls described in Section 5 above to limit data collection.


7. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as we add, remove, or modify the services we use. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of our website after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
