Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They help the website remember your preferences and improve your browsing experience. Cookies are regulated under the EU ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR/RODO).
BHP Affairs Sp. z o.o. ("we", "us") uses cookies on bhpbd.com for the following purposes:
These cookies are required for the Platform to function. They cannot be disabled. No consent is required for these cookies under GDPR Article 6(1)(b) and ePrivacy Directive Article 5(3).
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |

These cookies help us understand how users interact with our Platform. Data is collected internally and is not shared with third-party advertising networks. These cookies require your consent.
| Cookie/Mechanism | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Internal course analytics | Tracks course views, enrolments, and completion rates for platform improvement | Session-based | First-party (server-side) |
Some external services we use may set their own cookies. These require your consent before being loaded.
| Service | Purpose | Cookies Set | Privacy Policy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Fonts | Loading web fonts for typography | May collect IP address and browser info | Google Privacy Policy |
| Stripe | Secure payment processing (only on checkout pages) | __stripe_mid, __stripe_sid | Stripe Privacy Policy |

If you reach our Platform through a referral link shared by another user, we can remember who invited you, so that they receive the credit or reward due to them when you register. This is off by default and is only set if you enable the "Referral cookies" category. If you do not enable it, referral links still work within the same visit - we simply cannot remember the invitation after you close your browser.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| bhp_ref | Remembers the referral code you arrived with, so the person who recommended us is credited when you register | 90 days | First-party |
We also keep a record of the click itself (date, IP address, browser, and the page you landed on). That record is kept to detect fraudulent or self-referrals and is not stored in a cookie. If you withdraw your consent, the bhp_ref cookie is deleted on your next page view.
When you first visit our Platform, a cookie consent banner is displayed. You can:
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of every page.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Note that blocking essential cookies may prevent the Platform from functioning correctly.
| Cookie Category | Legal Basis | Consent Required? |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR — necessary for contract performance; Art. 5(3) ePrivacy Directive | No |
| Functional | Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — legitimate interest | No (but can be disabled) |
| Analytics | Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR — consent | Yes |
| Third-party | Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR — consent | Yes |
| Referral | Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR — consent; Art. 5(3) ePrivacy Directive (not strictly necessary) | Yes |
Cookie consent preferences are stored for 12 months. After that period, you will be asked for consent again. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser or after 2 hours of inactivity. The referral cookie (bhp_ref) lasts 90 days from the day you click a referral link, or until you withdraw consent, whichever comes first.
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology or legal requirements. The "Last updated" date at the top indicates the most recent revision.
