Cookie Policy
Learn how BLOWFISH uses cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, improve your browsing experience and respect your privacy preferences.
Understanding Cookies
The BLOWFISH website uses cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, improve the browsing experience and, where applicable, understand how visitors interact with our online services.
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your computer, smartphone or other device when you visit a page. Cookies allow the website to recognise your browser and retain certain information between visits.
Cookies cannot, by themselves, run programs or deliver viruses to your device. Depending on their purpose and configuration, they may store information such as your preferences, session identifiers or choices made while browsing the website.
Some cookies are necessary for a website to operate correctly, while others may be used for additional purposes, such as analytics or personalisation.
Why Does BLOWFISH Use Cookies?
Cookies can help make your browsing experience more convenient and consistent. Their purposes depend on the features available on the website and the technologies in use.
Essential Website Functionality
Certain cookies may be required to provide basic website functions, maintain navigation between pages, manage sessions or support security-related operations. Without these cookies, some website features may not function correctly.
User Preferences
Cookies can help a website remember certain preferences so visitors do not need to configure the same options every time they return. Depending on the functionality provided, these preferences may include language selection or other browsing settings.
Website Performance and Analytics
Where analytics cookies are used, they may help website operators understand how visitors navigate pages, which content is frequently accessed and whether technical issues affect the browsing experience. This information can help improve website usability, performance and content.
Personalisation and Convenience
Where supported, cookies may help retain information associated with previously selected features or preferences. This can make subsequent visits more convenient. Cookies do not automatically give BLOWFISH access to all information stored on your device.
Session and Persistent Cookies
Session Cookies
Session cookies are generally temporary. They remain active during a browsing session and are normally deleted when you close your browser.
Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them. They may help a website remember certain preferences when you return at a later time.
The actual duration of a cookie depends on its configuration and purpose.
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting. They may support essential functionality, preferences or other features provided directly by that website.
Third-Party Cookies
Third-party cookies are set by external services integrated into a website. Depending on the services used, these may include analytics, embedded content or other external functionality.
The presence and purpose of third-party cookies depend on the website's current configuration and the services it integrates. Where applicable, the relevant third parties may process information in accordance with their own privacy policies.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can manage cookies through the cookie preference tools made available on the BLOWFISH website, where applicable, and through the settings of your web browser.
Most browsers allow users to block cookies, delete existing cookies or receive notifications before cookies are stored. The available controls vary depending on the browser and device.
You can usually:
- View and delete cookies already stored on your device.
- Block all cookies or restrict cookies from selected websites.
- Configure your browser to notify you when cookies are stored.
- Delete cookies automatically when you close the browser.
Blocking or deleting certain cookies may affect website functionality. Some preferences may not be retained, sessions may not work as expected, or particular features may become unavailable.
Where consent is required by applicable law, non-essential cookies should not be placed before the necessary consent has been obtained. You can also withdraw or change your consent through the available cookie preference controls, where provided.
Cookies and Your Privacy
BLOWFISH recognises the importance of protecting personal information and respecting users' privacy.
Cookies may sometimes contain information that qualifies as personal data or may be associated with other information that identifies a user. Their use must therefore be assessed according to their purpose, configuration and the applicable data protection requirements.
BLOWFISH aims to use cookies in a manner consistent with applicable privacy and data protection legislation. Where required, appropriate information and consent mechanisms should be provided before non-essential cookies are used.
For further information about how personal data is processed, please consult the BLOWFISH Privacy Policy.
