Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage, web beacons, and pixels. "First-party" cookies are set by the site you are visiting; "third-party" cookies are set by another domain. We also use your browser's local storage to remember preferences such as your light/dark theme.
2. Why we use them
We use these technologies to keep you signed in, keep the Services secure, remember your preferences, and make the platform work. We do not use them for advertising or cross-site tracking.
3. Cookies we use
| Category | Purpose | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Required for the Services to function — authentication, keeping you signed in, and security. The Services will not work properly without these. | Session cookie that maintains your logged-in session. |
| Functional / preferences | Remember choices you make to improve your experience. | Local-storage values for your theme and interface preferences. |
We do not use analytics, performance-tracking, or advertising cookies on our website.
4. Tracking within the Services
When you send email through BlacklistGuard, the Services can include small, invisible images ("tracking pixels") and wrapped links in the emails you send, so that you — our customer — can measure opens and clicks for your campaigns. This tracking is configured and controlled by the sender (the BlacklistGuard customer) and relates to that customer's recipients, not to visitors of this website. If you receive an email and have questions about its tracking, contact the sender.
5. Third-party cookies
We keep third-party cookies to a minimum. When you make a payment, the payment provider's checkout components run on the billing page and may set their own cookies to process the transaction and prevent fraud. Those cookies are governed by the provider's own policies. We do not embed third-party advertising or social-media tracking on our site.
6. How to control cookies
Most browsers let you view, manage, block, and delete cookies through their settings. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from signing in and using the Services. Because we do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies, there is no interest-based-advertising opt-out to apply. Our site does not respond to "Do Not Track" browser signals, as there is no common standard for them.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. We will revise the "Last updated" date above when we do.
