Cookies
Last updated: 30 September 2026.
This page explains cookies and similar storage used by Bot Rules. There is no cookie acceptance dialog on this site. Continuing to use the generator may result in the first-party cookie below being set automatically when needed for usage attribution.
First-party cookies we set
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
bbg_vid |
Anonymous visitor identifier so administrators can group generator catalogue searches from the same browser in the private Generator usage view. | About 1 year (Max-Age=31536000) |
HttpOnly, SameSite=Lax, Secure on HTTPS. Set when you use the generator (page load or search) if you do not already have a valid id. |
Administration sign-in uses a separate session cookie scoped to /admin. That cookie is only set after you authenticate to the private catalogue tools and is not required for the public generator.
What we do not use these cookies for
- Advertising or cross-site tracking networks.
- Selling visitor profiles to third parties.
Third-party and CDN requests
Public pages load styles and scripts from CDNs (for example Bootstrap, Bootstrap Icons, Font Awesome, jQuery, and hosted webfonts). Those hosts may set or read their own cookies or process IP addresses under their policies. We do not control third-party cookies on those domains.
Managing cookies
You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Removing bbg_vid does not stop you from using the generator; a new identifier may be issued on a later visit. Blocking cookies entirely may affect administrator sign-in if you use the admin area.
