Cookie Policy

1. What cookies and similar technologies are

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device through your browser. Similar technologies, such as the browser’s local storage (localStorage), allow information to be stored on and read from your device in a comparable way. This policy applies to all of them.

These technologies can be strictly necessary (needed for the website to work or to provide a service you have requested – no consent is required) or optional, for example analytics or profiling tools, which may only be used with your prior consent.

2. What we use

This website does not set any cookies. The only information stored on your device is the following first-party local storage entry:

This entry stays in your browser and is not transmitted to us or to third parties. Fonts and scripts are hosted on our own server: we do not use content delivery networks, Google Fonts, embedded maps or videos, or social media plugins.

3. Optional analytics

The preferences panel includes an Analytics category, which is off by default. No analytics tool is currently in use. If we introduce one in the future, it will only be activated after you opt in, and this policy will be updated beforehand with the details of the tool, its provider and the storage it uses. Rejecting analytics does not affect your use of the website.

4. No profiling and no third-party cookies

We do not use profiling or advertising cookies, and no third-party cookies are set through this website. The banner has no close command: it remains displayed, without preventing you from using the website, until you make a choice; until then no choice is recorded on your device and no optional technology runs. Choosing “Reject optional” records that choice in the bg-consent entry described in section 2, closes the banner and keeps only the strictly necessary storage active.

5. Legal basis

Strictly necessary storage is exempt from consent under Art. 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive and the corresponding provisions of the Bulgarian Electronic Communications Act; it is based on our legitimate interest in remembering your choice (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Any optional technology would be based solely on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

6. How to change your consent

You can review or change your choice, and withdraw any consent given, at any time and as easily as you gave it: open cookie settings. The same link is available in the footer of every page.

7. Managing storage through your browser

You can also delete the data stored by this website through your browser settings (usually under “Privacy”, “Site data” or “Cookies and site data”), and you can configure your browser to block cookies and local storage. Instructions are available in the help pages of the main browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). If you delete the stored data, the banner will be shown again at your next visit.

8. Changes and contact

We will update this Cookie Policy whenever we change the technologies used on the website. For more information on how we process personal data, see our Privacy Policy. For any question, write to info@balkanovaglobal.com.
