Cookie Policy
Last updated: 11 August 2026
This page describes our cookie practices in good faith, based on our actual technical implementation. It is not legal advice, and it will be reviewed by a qualified privacy professional before public launch.
1. About this Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Baltego ("Baltego", "we", "us" or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website.
Baltego is a food-tech platform that helps food businesses in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia turn surplus and unsold products into additional revenue.
This policy explains what cookies are, why we use them, what categories we use, and how you can manage your preferences.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. We also use similar browser storage technologies, such as local storage and session storage, which work in a comparable way.
They can help a website function properly, remember your preferences, understand how visitors use the website and, where applicable, support marketing activities.
Some cookies and similar storage are necessary for the website to function and do not require your consent. Others are optional and are only used with your consent, where required by applicable law.
3. How we use cookies
We currently use the following categories. This list reflects our actual technical implementation — we don't describe categories, providers or purposes that don't apply to this website.
Necessary cookies
These are required for the website to function properly. We use them to remember your language, remember your cookie preferences, and keep our internal admin tools secure. These cannot be disabled through our cookie preference tool, because the website may not work correctly without them.
Analytics cookies
Where enabled and with your consent, we use first-party, session-based browser storage to understand which pages and marketing channels bring visitors to our website, so we can improve it. We do not currently use a third-party analytics tool such as Google Analytics. If we introduce one in the future, it will be gated by this same consent choice, and we will update this policy first.
Marketing cookies
We do not currently use any marketing or advertising cookies, such as the Meta (Facebook) Pixel. Our consent system already supports this category so that, if we introduce advertising tracking in the future, it will not activate until you give marketing consent — and we will update this policy to describe it before that happens.
4. Your cookie choices
When you first visit our website, you can choose whether to allow optional cookies. You can:
- accept all optional cookies
- reject optional cookies
- choose individual cookie categories
You can change your preferences at any time by selecting "Cookie settings" in the website footer.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before your withdrawal.
5. Third-party services
Some necessary cookies are set by third-party infrastructure we rely on to run the website securely. For example, Supabase — our backend provider — sets authentication cookies when someone signs in to our internal admin tools. These are not set for visitors browsing the public website.
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how the website is used — which pages people visit and how they arrive. The Google tag loads on every page, but it starts in a denied state: until you allow analytics cookies it sets no cookies and stores no identifier for you, and only an anonymous, cookieless signal is sent. Allowing analytics cookies switches measurement on; withdrawing that permission switches it back off. Advertising features are disabled at all times, so your data is not used to build advertising profiles. Google acts as our processor for this. Beyond the table below, no other third-party analytics or advertising services run on this website.
6. Cookie table
The table below reflects our actual technical implementation. Some entries use your browser's local or session storage rather than a traditional cookie — we've noted this next to the name.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Category | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NEXT_LOCALE (cookie) | Baltego (first-party, via next-intl) | Remembers which language you've selected (English, Latvian, Lithuanian or Estonian), so we don't ask again on your next page view. | Necessary | Session — deleted when you close your browser |
| baltego_cookie_consent (local storage) | Baltego (first-party) | Stores your cookie preferences — which categories you've allowed — so we can honor your choice instead of asking on every visit. | Necessary | Up to 180 days, or until you change your preferences or clear your browser storage |
| sb-*-auth-token (cookie) | Supabase | Keeps authenticated staff securely signed in to Baltego's internal admin tools. Only set if someone signs in at /admin — never set for regular website visitors. | Necessary | Set by Supabase; expires when the login session ends or is refreshed |
| baltego_attribution (session storage) | Baltego (first-party) | Remembers which marketing channel, campaign or referrer brought you to our website during your visit, so we can understand which channels are effective. Only stored with your Analytics consent. | Analytics | Session — cleared when you close the browser tab, or immediately if you withdraw Analytics consent |
| _ga (cookie) | Google Analytics | Distinguishes one browser from another so repeat visits are not counted as new people. Only set after you allow analytics cookies. | Analytics | 2 years |
| _ga_YLGXE8H24B (cookie) | Google Analytics | Keeps the state of your current visit — when it started and whether it is still running — so page views are grouped into one session. | Analytics | 2 years |
