1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how BMDRM ("BMDRM," "we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our websites, dashboards, documentation, and embedded players (collectively, the "Services"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

By using the Services, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this Policy, subject to the choices available to you below.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve performance and user experience, and to provide analytics and security functions. We also use similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, pixel tags, and SDK identifiers; references to "cookies" in this Policy include those technologies where appropriate.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of the Services. They allow you to sign in, navigate the dashboard, maintain session state, and use core platform features. They cannot be disabled without affecting how the Services function.

Examples include:

  • Authentication and session cookies.
  • Security cookies (e.g., CSRF protection, rate limiting).
  • Load-balancing cookies that route requests to the correct backend.

3.2 Functional Cookies

These cookies remember your preferences to provide a more personalized experience.

Examples include:

  • Language and region settings.
  • Dashboard layout and display preferences.
  • Player UI preferences (e.g., default volume or playback quality).

3.3 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how the Services are used so we can improve performance, reliability, and user experience. They collect aggregated information such as page load times, feature usage, and error rates.

Where required by law, performance and analytics cookies are loaded only with your consent.

3.4 Security and Anti-Abuse

These cookies help detect and prevent abusive activity, fraudulent access, and security incidents, including bot mitigation and anomaly detection.

4. Cookies in Embedded Players

BMDRM embedded players may set cookies or use local storage to:

  • Maintain playback state (e.g., resume position, selected resolution).
  • Enforce DRM, signed URL, and access control mechanisms.
  • Apply watermarking and session integrity checks.
  • Collect aggregated playback telemetry (e.g., buffering, errors, device class).

Player cookies are used solely to provide and secure the playback experience and the analytics features requested by the BMDRM customer. They are not used for advertising or cross-site profiling.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Certain third parties may set cookies in connection with services we use, such as content delivery networks, infrastructure monitoring, payment processors, and analytics providers. These third parties are bound by contract to handle data in accordance with applicable law and may set cookies necessary to deliver their services.

We do not allow third-party advertising networks to set cookies through the BMDRM platform.

6. Your Choices

6.1 Cookie Banner and Preferences

Where required by law, BMDRM displays a cookie banner that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your choices at any time through the cookie preferences link available in the Services.

6.2 Browser Controls

Most browsers allow you to:

  • View and delete cookies stored on your device.
  • Block third-party cookies.
  • Block all cookies (note: this may affect the functionality of the Services).
  • Receive a warning before a cookie is stored.

Please consult your browser's help documentation for instructions specific to your browser.

6.3 Do Not Track

Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" signals. Because there is no industry consensus on how to interpret these signals, BMDRM does not currently respond to them, but we honor the consent choices you make through our cookie preferences interface.

7. Retention

Cookies have varying lifespans:

  • Session cookies expire when you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or you delete them.

The retention period for each cookie is documented in our cookie preferences interface where available.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our practices. Material changes will be reflected by an updated "Last Updated" date and, where appropriate, communicated through the Services.
