About this policy

This Cookie policy explains the cookies and browser storage used by Buildner Academia at uni.bnr.ac. The service is operated by BUILDNER, SLU. Read it alongside the Privacy policy and Terms & conditions.

This inventory describes the implementation supplied with this site. Other Buildner websites and external competition pages have their own policies and settings.

Cookies. Your choice.

Cookies are small values stored in your browser. Local storage and session storage can also remember information on your device. Their purpose, rather than their name, determines whether a choice is required.

Necessary cookies are always used. One optional service is installed, Google Analytics 4, and by Buildner’s decision it runs from your first page view unless you switch it off. No advertising service is installed. Accept all keeps analytics on; Reject optional turns it off and removes its cookies. Accepting the tool-use terms is a separate step and does not change your cookie choice.

The banner provides Accept all, Reject optional and Choose settings with equally prominent accept and reject controls. You can close it without making a choice; analytics then stays on until you choose, and Cookie settings in the footer reopens the panel at any time.

Cookie inventory

CookiePurpose and contentsDuration
bn_uni_consentRemembers a recorded acceptance of the current tool-use notice and policies. Contains a random token, not your class list or teaching work. Set by Buildner after live acceptance; inaccessible to page scripts.Up to 365 days; acceptance is checked again if the notice or policies change.
bn_uni_privacyRemembers your cookie-panel choice (analytics on or off), policy version and choice/expiry times. Set by Buildner after you save a choice.180 days, unless cleared earlier or the preference version changes.
_gaGoogle Analytics 4 (property G-M2CHW676T9), provided by Google Ireland Limited: a random browser identifier used to count visits, pages and tool use. Set for uni.bnr.ac only, from your first page view unless analytics is switched off; removed when you switch it off.13 months.
_ga_M2CHW676T9Google Analytics 4: keeps the session state for this property. Same provider, scope and switch as _ga.13 months.

All cookies apply to this website and use SameSite=Lax. On HTTPS they are marked Secure. A preference cookie is not permission to enter the tools and does not contain your terms-acceptance token.

Teaching drafts and class access

The teaching tools use local storage to retain your requested settings, selections and drafts on this browser. This is not an analytics service and those local drafts are not automatically uploaded. Local storage has no fixed automatic expiry; it remains until you clear it, remove the relevant draft or the browser removes it.

  • Course fit and Skills matrix: filters, priorities and shortlists.
  • Cohort cost and Brief card: calculation settings and selected or saved briefs.
  • Brief modules, Semester plan, Syllabus block and Grading rubric: teaching drafts and edits.
  • Class registration: private instructor or student access details and pending requests needed to recover an interrupted action. Names and email addresses submitted through class registration are separately stored on the server.

The offline demonstration can also store a demonstration class list locally. It does not submit that list to Buildner. Cookie preferences in the offline demonstration last for that browser tab.

Use a private device for class access. Keep private access links secure. Clearing local storage can remove drafts, saved choices and access details; download anything you need first.

Analytics and advertising

Google Analytics 4 (property G-M2CHW676T9), provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, is the only optional service on Academia. It counts visits, pages and tool use with a random browser identifier; Google Analytics 4 does not store IP addresses, and no advertising features or Google signals are enabled. By Buildner’s decision it is on from your first page view. Reject optional in the banner, or the Analytics switch in Cookie settings, stops it, removes its cookies and keeps it off while your choice is stored.

No advertising pixel or tag-manager service is enabled; the cookie panel shows Advertising as “Not in use”. If further optional services are introduced, this inventory and the controls will identify their providers, purposes and durations, and we will ask for a new choice first.

Change or clear your choice

Open in the footer or on this page to review your choice. You can change it at any time. Switching Analytics off removes the Google Analytics cookies and keeps analytics off while your choice is stored.

You can also clear cookies and website data through your browser settings. Blocking the essential acceptance cookie prevents the live site from remembering your acceptance and may prevent access to the tools. Blocking local storage can prevent drafts or private class access from being remembered.

Deleting a browser cookie does not erase a separate acceptance record, a class list or an error report already saved on the server. Contact Buildner about those records under the Privacy policy.

Connection records and external links

Hosting systems may keep request and security logs. Live acceptance records and submitted class lists or error reports are server records, not optional analytics cookies. Their purposes and handling are covered by the Privacy policy and the information shown with each function.

Following a link to another website, including a competition page, takes you to that website’s own privacy and cookie arrangements. This banner controls Academia only.
