1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small, encrypted text files placed on your device when you visit blngagency.com. They help our website function securely, analyze visitor traffic patterns, and assist in our digital marketing efforts to reach potential clients.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
We systematically classify our cookies into the following functional categories:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential for the core technical functionality of the website, such as security protocols, network management, and saving your privacy consent preferences. Under EU law, no consent is required for these strictly necessary cookies.
- Analytical and Performance Cookies: These allow us to recognize returning visitors, count traffic sources, and see how users navigate the site (e.g., via Google Analytics). This data helps us improve website user experience and architecture.
- Functional Cookies: These enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your region or language preferences across sessions.
- Marketing and Targeting Cookies: These are set by our advertising partners (e.g., Meta Pixel, Google Ads) to build a profile of your commercial interests and show you relevant BLNG Agency advertisements on other sites across the internet.
3. Consent and Your Choices (GDPR Digital Omnibus Compliance)
In strict accordance with updated GDPR requirements, we operate on a default-deny basis. We will not deploy Analytical, Functional, or Marketing cookies on your device without your explicit, affirmative consent. When you first visit our site, our Cookie Consent Banner allows you to accept all cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or granularly customize your preferences by category.
4. Withdrawing Consent
European data protection law mandates that withdrawing consent must be as effortless as giving it. You can alter your preferences or entirely withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the "Manage Cookie Preferences" floating icon located at the bottom-left of your screen, or by accessing the settings menu in your browser to clear existing cookies.

7. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals. There is currently no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. However, if you have not provided affirmative cookie consent via our consent banner, no non-essential tracking cookies will be deployed regardless of your DNT settings.
8. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our cookie usage or applicable regulations. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised accordingly.
