Cookie policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our balavander.com site, the types of cookies we use, the information we collect through cookies, how that information is used, and how you can control your cookie settings.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. Cookies help us improve your user experience, enabling the site to recognize you on your next visit and tailor content to your preferences.
How do we use cookies?
We use cookies for several reasons, including:
- Necessary cookies: These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our site. They enable site navigation and use of basic functions.
- Analytical cookies: We use Google Analytics to understand how users use our site. These cookies collect information about which pages you visit, how long you stay on the site and how you got to our site.
- Marketing cookies: The Facebook Pixel allows us to track visitors coming from Facebook and show them personalized ads.
Third-party cookies
We use third-party services such as Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel, which also place cookies on your device. These cookies collect data in an anonymous form, including the number of visitors to the site, where the visitors came from, and the pages they visited on our site.
Cookie duration
Cookies on our site are persistent, which means they remain on your device for a certain period of time or until you delete them.
How to manage cookies?
You can choose to accept or decline cookies through our cookie banner displayed on your first visit to the site. You can also change your cookie settings at any time through your browser settings. Please note that rejecting cookies may affect the functionality of the site.
Nested content from other websites
Articles on this website may contain nested content (eg videos, images, articles, etc.). Nested content from other websites behaves exactly the same as if your visitor visited another website.
Those websites may collect information about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
How long we keep your data
If you leave a comment, that comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This is so that we can recognize and automatically approve any comments that follow, rather than keeping them in the review queue.
For users who register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit or delete their personal information at any time (except that they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.
What rights you have in relation to your data
If you have an account on this website, or have left comments, you can request to receive a file of the exported personal data we hold about you including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we delete any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are required to hold for administrative, legal or security reasons.
Where do we send your data?
Visitor comments can be checked through an automatic spam detection service.
