This Cookie Policy explains how Block Advisory Group (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on blockadvisorygroup.com. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information more broadly.
01What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them more efficient, and to provide information to site owners. Similar technologies — such as pixels, tags, and local storage — perform comparable functions. In this policy we refer to all of them collectively as “cookies.”
Cookies may be “session” cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or “persistent” cookies, which remain until they expire or you delete them. They may be set by us (“first-party”) or by a third party whose services appear on our site (“third-party”).
02Why we use cookies
We use cookies to:
- Make our website function and keep it secure.
- Remember your preferences and settings.
- Understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it.
- Measure the effectiveness of our content and, where applicable, our marketing.
03Types of cookies we use
The categories of cookies we may use on our website are described below.
| Category | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Required for the website to function — page navigation, security, and form submission. These cannot be switched off in our systems. | Session / up to 1 year |
| Performance & analytics | Help us understand how visitors interact with the site (for example, which pages are visited) so we can improve performance and content. Data is aggregated. | Up to 2 years |
| Functional | Remember choices you make — such as preferences — to provide a more personalized experience. | Up to 1 year |
| Targeting & advertising | May be set to build a profile of your interests and show relevant messaging on or off our site. We use these only where applicable and with consent where required. | Up to 1 year |
The specific cookies in use may change over time as we update our website and tools.
04Third-party cookies
Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages — for example, website analytics providers. These third parties may use cookies to collect information about your activity across websites over time. We do not control these cookies, and we encourage you to review the relevant third party’s own privacy and cookie policies.
05Managing your cookies
You can control and manage cookies in several ways. Most browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies through their settings. Please note that blocking essential cookies may affect how the website functions.
- Adjust your browser settings to refuse or delete cookies — see your browser’s help pages for instructions.
- Use your device or browser’s “Do Not Track” or privacy controls where available.
- Opt out of certain analytics or advertising cookies via the relevant provider’s opt-out tools.
For more information about cookies and how to manage them, you can visit a resource such as allaboutcookies.org.
06Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal or operational reasons. When we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date above. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
