1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, phone) when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit, such as your preferences, login state, or browsing activity. BusBrother (operated by WETYR Corporation) uses cookies and similar technologies (local storage, pixels, web beacons) on busbrother.com to operate the site, analyze traffic, and improve our services.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable core features such as form submissions, secure quote requests, and vendor login on the bidding portal. You cannot opt out of strictly necessary cookies because the site will not work without them.
- Session identifiers for the booking form
- CSRF tokens to protect against cross-site request forgery
- Vendor authentication tokens for the bidding portal

- Google Analytics - traffic measurement and conversion tracking
- Netlify Analytics - server-side aggregate metrics
2.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember your preferences (such as the city you last viewed, or whether you have dismissed a banner) so we can give you a more tailored experience on return visits.
2.4 Advertising and Retargeting Cookies
We may use advertising cookies (Google Ads, Meta Pixel) to show relevant ads on other websites after you visit busbrother.com. These cookies track conversions and help us measure ad effectiveness.

5. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal to websites. There is no industry-wide consensus on how DNT should be honored, and busbrother.com currently does not respond to DNT signals. We do honor opt-outs through cookie banners, browser settings, and the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out tool.
