We use cookies and similar technologies to help operate, secure, and improve Bento's websites and Services. This Cookie Policy forms part of our Privacy Policy and explains how cookies are used on websites and applications we control.
If you do not want cookies to be set on your device, you can adjust your browser settings or any cookie controls we make available. Blocking some cookies may affect the availability or functionality of parts of our websites or Services.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small data file that a website stores on your device when you visit. Cookies can be used to remember your session, recognise your browser, save preferences, measure usage, and support security and performance.
When we refer to cookies in this policy, we also mean similar technologies that may store or read information on your device for comparable purposes.
Cookies set by Bento are generally referred to as first-party cookies. Cookies set by service providers or partners are generally referred to as third-party cookies.
We may use session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, and persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
Types of cookies we may use
Essential cookies
These cookies are necessary for core functionality such as security, authentication, session management, fraud prevention, load balancing, and account access. If you block essential cookies, parts of our websites or Services may not work properly.
Analytics and performance cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors and customers use Bento, troubleshoot issues, monitor performance, and improve our websites and Services. They may collect technical and usage information such as browser type, pages viewed, and interactions with our sites or applications.
Functionality cookies
These cookies help remember settings and preferences such as language, region, or interface choices so we can provide a more consistent experience.
Advertising and measurement cookies
We may use cookies to measure marketing performance, understand the effectiveness of campaigns, and support Bento's advertising or remarketing activities on our marketing properties. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party providers we use for those purposes. Where applicable law requires consent for advertising, measurement, analytics, or other non-essential cookies, we will rely on the consent choices we make available for the relevant property.
These cookies and similar technologies may collect identifiers, device information, browser activity, referral information, page and feature interactions, and campaign or conversion data. Depending on the property, vendor, and jurisdiction, this type of collection may be treated as advertising, sharing, or targeted advertising under applicable privacy law.

The specific cookies and technologies used may vary by property, region, feature, and consent choice.
Third-party cookies
Some third-party service providers we use may place cookies or similar technologies on our websites or applications in order to deliver services to us, such as analytics, embedded content, payment processing, fraud prevention, or advertising measurement.
We do not control third-party cookies once they are set, and those providers may use their cookies subject to their own terms and policies. That said, we select vendors in our discretion and may change them at any time.
Depending on the property and your choices, third-party technologies may be used for analytics, error monitoring, embedded content, payment flows, fraud prevention, support, and advertising measurement.
How to control cookies
Most browsers accept cookies by default, but you can usually change your browser settings to refuse cookies or notify you when a cookie is being set or updated.
If we make cookie choices available on a specific site or service, you can also use those tools to manage your preferences for that property.
If you use multiple browsers or devices, you may need to update your preferences on each one separately.
Where applicable law gives you the right to opt out of targeted advertising or similar cookie-based disclosures, you may exercise that right using the cookie choices or consent tools we make available on the relevant property, or by contacting us using the details in our Privacy Policy.
Where supported by applicable law and our tooling, we may also honor browser-based preference signals or similar opt-out mechanisms for non-essential cookies on relevant properties.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time by posting the revised version on our website or through the Services. If this Cookie Policy is incorporated into another agreement with you that requires a longer notice period, that longer notice period will control to the extent required. Your continued use of the relevant website or Service after the updated version becomes effective means you accept the revised policy, to the extent permitted by law.
