What Are Cookies
This Cookie Policy explains how Blinking Glass uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website. It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better browsing experience, and to give website owners information about how their site is used. Cookies can be either “persistent” or “session” cookies. A persistent cookie remains on your device for a set period of time or until you delete it, while a session cookie is deleted when you close your browser.
In addition to cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as pixel tags, web beacons and local storage to collect and store information. These technologies work in a similar way to cookies and allow us to monitor and improve our website and your experience of it.
Types of Cookies We Use
We use different types of cookies for a variety of reasons. The table below details the cookies we use by category, including the name, purpose, duration and domain of each cookie. Some cookies are essential for the website to function properly, while others help us understand how visitors interact with the site, remember your preferences, or deliver relevant advertising.
