This Cookie Policy explains how Born West Inc. ("Born West," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on bornwest.com (the "Site"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work, to remember preferences, and to provide information to site operators. Similar technologies, such as pixels and local storage, perform comparable functions. We refer to all of these as "cookies" in this policy.

Cookies may be set by us ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services we embed, such as our video player and scheduling tool ("third-party cookies").

How we use cookies

We use cookies to operate and secure the Site, to remember settings, and to understand how visitors use the Site through aggregate analytics. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the Site to function; others are not, and are used only as described below.

Categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies. Required for the Site and its embedded features to function and to protect against abuse. These cannot be switched off through our controls.

Analytics cookies. Help us understand how visitors interact with the Site in aggregate, so we can improve it. We use Google Analytics (GA4) for this purpose.

Functional cookies. Remember choices you make, such as video player preferences.

Third-party service cookies. Set by services we embed (our video player and scheduling tool). These services act under their own privacy and cookie policies.

Your choices and consent

Where required by law (including for visitors in the EEA and UK), non-essential cookies such as analytics cookies are used only with your consent. You may give, decline, or withdraw consent at any time.

You can also control cookies directly:

  • Browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. See your browser's help pages. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may break parts of the Site.
  • Google Analytics opt-out. Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
  • Third-party services. Manage Vimeo and Cal.com cookies through those providers' settings and the links above.

Do Not Track

The Site does not currently respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals, as there is no common industry standard for them. You can manage cookies using the controls above.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our Site and the services we use change. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above.
