About this policy
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to website owners. Cookies can be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (remain on your device until they expire or you delete them). Cookies set by the website itself (in this case, https://www.boulc.com) are called “first-party cookies“.
If you have any questions about our use of cookies or this Cookie Policy, please reach out by email at contact@boulc.com.
Our cookie usage
We use ONLY essential cookies that are strictly necessary for the website to function properly.
We do not use:
- Advertising or marketing cookies
- Third-party tracking cookies
- Analytics cookies (beyond essential functionality)
- Social media cookies
- Preference or performance cookies (non-essential)
We do not use any third-party cookies on this website. All cookies are set directly by our website (first-party cookies) and are not shared with or accessible by any third-party services.
Essential cookies we use
The following essential cookies are used on our website to enable core functionality. These cookies are necessary for the website to work and cannot be disabled without severely affecting your experience.
Cookie consent cookie

| Duration: | 365 days |

Anti-forgery token cookie
| Cookie name: | .AspNetCore.Antiforgery.* |
|---|---|
| Purpose: | Protects against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks by ensuring that form submissions and other state-changing requests come from authenticated users on our website |
| Type: | First-party session cookie |
| Duration: | Session (deleted when browser is closed) |
| Data stored: | Randomly generated security token |
| Legal basis: | Necessary for security and to protect both you and our website from malicious attacks |
Session Cookie
| Cookie Name: | .AspNetCore.Session |
|---|---|

| Type: | First-party session cookie |
| Duration: | Session (deleted when browser is closed) or 30 minutes of inactivity (automatically renewed with each page visit) |

Why are these cookies essential?
Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the EU ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC), and the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), as well as Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL), and Québec’s Law 25, essential (or strictly necessary) cookies do not require explicit user consent because they are:
- Strictly necessary for the website to function and deliver the services you have requested
- Used solely for carrying out the transmission of communication over an electronic communications network or providing a service explicitly requested by the user
- Not used for tracking, profiling, or advertising purposes
Similarly, under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), opt-in consent is not required for cookies unless they involve the sale or sharing of personal information. Essential cookies used only for core functionality are exempt from these requirements.
Other applicable data protection and privacy laws may also apply depending on your location.
Without these essential cookies, critical website features such as:
- Protection against security threats (e.g., CSRF attacks)
- Maintaining your session as you navigate between pages
- Remembering form inputs and temporary data
would not function properly, severely limiting your ability to use the website.
Managing cookies
While we only use essential cookies, you can still manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that:
- Blocking or deleting essential cookies will prevent you from using key features of the website
- Most browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies through their settings or preferences menu
- You can set your browser to refuse all cookies, but this may limit your ability to use many websites

Updates to this cookie policy
We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in our cookie usage or legal requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
If we make significant changes to how we use cookies, we will notify you by prominently posting a notice on our website.
