2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small files that websites can store on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit them.

Cookies allow websites to recognise a browser or device and remember certain information.

For example, cookies may be used to:

• keep you signed in;
• remember your language;
• maintain a secure session;
• remember preferences;
• protect against fraud or abuse;
• understand how a website is used;
• enable integrations and other website functionality.

Some cookies disappear when you close your browser, while others remain on your device for a defined period.

3. Similar Technologies

This Policy also applies to technologies that perform functions similar to cookies.

Depending on the services and functionality we use, these may include technologies such as:

• local storage;
• session storage;
• pixels;
• tags;
• SDKs;
• device identifiers;
• similar browser or device storage technologies.

For simplicity, we generally refer to these technologies as “cookies” throughout this Policy unless a distinction is necessary.

4. Types of Cookies

Cookies can generally be divided into several categories.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website or Service to function correctly.

They may be used for purposes such as:

• authentication;
• security;
• fraud prevention;
• maintaining a user session;
• remembering essential settings;
• providing functionality specifically requested by the user.

Where applicable law permits, strictly necessary cookies may be used without prior consent because they are required to provide the requested service.

Preference Cookies

Preference cookies remember choices you make so that BlogDrip can provide a more convenient experience.

For example, they may remember your preferred language.

Depending on their purpose and the applicable law, some preference technologies may require consent.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics technologies may be used to help us understand how visitors interact with BlogDrip.

For example, analytics may help us understand:

• which pages are visited;
• how users navigate the website;
• how the website performs;
• whether errors occur;
• which features are used.

Where consent is required by applicable law, analytics cookies will not be activated until the required permission has been obtained.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing technologies can be used to measure advertising, build audiences or provide advertising based on browsing behaviour.

BlogDrip will not use marketing or retargeting cookies without obtaining consent where consent is required by applicable law.

5. Cookies Currently Documented on BlogDrip

The following browser cookie is currently documented for the BlogDrip website:

Supported website languages may include:

• English (EN);

The exact cookies used by BlogDrip may change as the Service develops.

Where additional cookies or similar technologies are introduced, this Policy and, where applicable, our cookie preference controls should be updated accordingly.

6. Authentication and Security

The BlogDrip application may use browser storage, cookies or similar technologies where necessary to authenticate users, maintain secure sessions and protect Accounts.

Security technologies may also be used to:

• recognise authenticated sessions;
• prevent unauthorised access;
• detect suspicious activity;
• protect forms and login functionality;
• prevent automated abuse.

Strictly necessary security technologies may operate without optional cookie consent where permitted by applicable law.

7. Google Sign-In

BlogDrip may allow users to authenticate using Google where this functionality is available.

When you choose to use Google authentication, Google may process information necessary to authenticate your Account.

Google may use its own cookies or similar technologies as part of its authentication service.

Your interaction with Google is also subject to Google’s applicable privacy and cookie information.

8. Google reCAPTCHA

BlogDrip may use Google reCAPTCHA or similar security technology to protect login forms and other functionality against spam, automated attacks and abuse.

When reCAPTCHA is used, technical information may be transmitted to Google for security and verification purposes.

The use of cookies or similar technologies by Google in connection with reCAPTCHA is governed by Google’s applicable terms and privacy information.

9. Analytics

BlogDrip may use analytics technology to understand website usage and improve the Service.

The specific analytics implementation may change over time.

Where an analytics service uses cookies or another technology requiring consent, it will only be activated after the required consent has been obtained.

Where BlogDrip uses analytics technology that does not require storing or accessing information on your device, different rules may apply.

The specific analytics technologies and their applicable retention periods should be reflected in this Policy whenever such technologies are deployed.

10. Marketing and Retargeting

BlogDrip may introduce marketing, advertising or conversion-measurement technologies in the future.

These could include, for example, advertising pixels or retargeting technologies.

Where such technologies require consent, they will not be activated before you provide the required consent.

If marketing cookies or similar technologies are introduced, this Policy should be updated to identify the relevant providers and purposes.

11. Third-Party Cookies

Some functionality available through BlogDrip may be provided by third parties.

Depending on the functionality used, these third parties may place or access cookies or similar technologies.

Third-party services used by BlogDrip may include services relating to:

• authentication;
• security;
• analytics;
• payments;
• embedded functionality;
• customer support;
• other platform integrations.

Third-party providers may process information according to their own privacy and cookie policies.

More information about the categories of third parties that may process personal information is available in our Privacy Policy.

12. Payment Providers

BlogDrip uses third-party providers to process payments.

These may include providers such as:

• Stripe;
• PayPal.

When you interact with a payment provider, that provider may use cookies or similar technologies for purposes such as:

• processing payments;
• authentication;
• security;
• fraud prevention;
• remembering payment preferences.

These technologies are controlled by the relevant payment provider where you interact directly with its payment environment.

The provider’s own privacy and cookie policies apply to its independent processing activities.

13. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

A first-party cookie is set by the website you are visiting.

A third-party cookie is set or controlled by another organisation whose technology is used on that website.

BlogDrip may use both first-party and third-party technologies depending on the functionality being provided.

Third-party technologies that are not strictly necessary will be subject to consent requirements where applicable.

14. Session and Persistent Cookies

Cookies may also be categorised according to how long they remain on your device.

Session Cookies

Session cookies generally exist only during your browsing session and are removed after the browser or session is closed.

They may be used for temporary functionality such as authentication or navigation.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your device after the browser has been closed.

They expire after a specified period or when you delete them.

For example, the BlogDrip NEXT_LOCALE cookie may remain for up to one year so your language preference can be remembered.

15. Cookie Consent

Where consent is legally required, BlogDrip should ask for your permission before storing or accessing the relevant cookies or similar technologies.

You should be able to make a genuine choice about optional cookies.

Where available, cookie controls may allow you to accept or reject different categories of optional technologies.

Strictly necessary technologies may remain active because they are required to provide the website or service you requested.

16. Changing Your Cookie Preferences

Where BlogDrip provides a cookie preference centre, you can use it to review or change your choices regarding optional cookies.

Changing your preferences does not necessarily delete cookies that were previously stored on your device.

You can remove existing cookies using your browser settings.

Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that took place lawfully before consent was withdrawn.

17. Browser Controls

Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to:

• view stored cookies;
• delete cookies;
• block cookies;
• block third-party cookies;
• allow cookies only for selected websites;
• automatically remove cookies when closing the browser.

Please refer to your browser’s help or settings section for instructions.

18. What Happens If You Disable Cookies?

You can block or delete cookies, but doing so may affect how BlogDrip works.

In particular, blocking strictly necessary or functional browser storage may affect:

• signing in;
• Account security;
• language preferences;
• navigation;
• payment functionality;
• other features that depend on browser storage.

Optional functionality associated with a cookie you reject may also be unavailable.

19. Personal Information and Cookies

Some cookies and similar technologies may involve processing information that constitutes personal data.

This may include information such as:

• IP addresses;
• cookie identifiers;
• Account identifiers;
• device or browser information;
• usage information.

Where personal information is processed, our Privacy Policy provides additional information about how BlogDrip processes and protects that information.

20. Cookie Retention

The duration of a cookie depends on its purpose.

Some cookies last only for the current session.

Others may remain for a defined period.

For example:

NEXT_LOCALE: up to 1 year.

For third-party cookies, the retention period may be determined by the relevant provider.

We aim to avoid retaining cookies longer than reasonably necessary for their intended purpose.

21. Legal Requirements

BlogDrip aims to use cookies and similar technologies in accordance with applicable privacy and electronic communications laws.

Where UK rules apply, this includes relevant requirements under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and applicable UK data-protection legislation.

Where other privacy or electronic communications laws apply to a user, additional rights or requirements may apply.

Nothing in this Cookie Policy limits rights provided by mandatory applicable law.

22. Changes to Our Use of Cookies

The cookies and technologies used by BlogDrip may change as we develop the Service.

For example, we may:

• add functionality;
• change analytics providers;
• introduce new security technology;
• replace existing services;
• remove cookies;
• introduce new integrations.

We should update this Cookie Policy when material changes are made to the cookies or similar technologies used by BlogDrip.

Where required, we may also request consent again if the purposes for which optional cookies are used materially change.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time.

The Last updated date at the top of this page indicates when the Policy was most recently revised.
