This page explains which cookies and similar technologies Bizglocal uses, what they do, and how to switch off the ones that are not essential.
Last updated: October 8, 2026
Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your browser or device. Similar technologies include pixels (tiny images that report that a page or email was opened), local storage, and tags run through a tag manager. In this policy we call them all "cookies".
This policy explains which cookies Bizglocal uses on bizglocal.com and its subdomains (the "Site"), why, and how you can control them. It works together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data more generally.
We sort cookies into four groups. This matches the options in the cookie banner.
| GROUP | WHAT IT DOES | YOUR CONSENT |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Keeps the Site secure and working, and remembers your cookie choices. The Site cannot work properly without them. | Not required, so they cannot be switched off in the banner |
| Functional | Remembers preferences and what you typed in forms, and supports features such as embedded content, feedback tools and content sharing. | Required where the law says so |
| Analytical | Helps us count visits, see which pages are used, and understand where visitors come from, so we can fix problems and improve the Site. | Required where the law says so |
| Advertising | Measures how our own campaigns perform, and may let advertising partners show you relevant ads on other sites. | Required where the law says so |
Cookies we have not yet classified are treated as non-essential, and are not set until you accept the group they fall into.
The table lists the cookies found in our latest scan of the Site. Names and lifetimes are set by the providers and can change without notice, so treat the list as a guide and not a complete or permanent record. Where a cookie only appears after you accept its group, we say so.
| COOKIE | PROVIDER | PURPOSE | GROUP | LASTS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Consent preferences cookie | Consent tool on this Site | Remembers your cookie choices | Necessary | Up to 12 months |
| Site and form cookies | Bizglocal | Keeps forms and pages working, security checks | Necessary or Functional | Varies |
| _ga, _ga_<container-id> | Google Analytics | Tells visitors apart and counts visits and page views | Analytical | Up to 2 years |
| Advertising cookies (only if you allow them) | Advertising partners | Campaign measurement and ad delivery | Advertising | Varies by provider |
Some cookies are set by companies other than Bizglocal, such as analytics and advertising providers. They process data under their own privacy policies, and we do not control them. For example, you can read how Google uses cookies at policies.google.com/technologies/cookies.
The Site links to software vendors and other sites. Those sites set their own cookies, which this policy does not cover, so please check their cookie and privacy notices.
If you decline analytical or advertising cookies, you can still use the Site. You may still see ads elsewhere, but they will be less tailored to you.
Where we can detect a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal from your browser, we treat it as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information and of targeted advertising, as the law requires in several US states. We do not currently respond to Do Not Track (DNT) headers, because there is no common standard for them. For more on your rights, see our Privacy Policy.
When you make a choice we record what you chose and when, so we can respect it and show that we did. We will ask you again after 12 months, or sooner if we add new cookie groups or change how we use them. We keep these records only as long as needed, as described in our Privacy Policy.
We may update this policy when our cookies, tools or the law change. The "last updated" date at the top shows the current version. If a change is significant, we will ask for your choices again where the law requires it.
