01. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the site operator. Similar technologies — including pixels, web beacons, and local storage — are used for related purposes and are covered by this Cookie Policy.
This Cookie Policy explains how Backlink Provider ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on backlinkprovider.net and any affiliated niche-specific domains (collectively, the "Sites"). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
02. How we use cookies
We use cookies to:
- Operate and secure the Sites
- Remember your preferences, such as theme selection
- Understand how visitors interact with the Sites in aggregate
- Detect and prevent fraud, spam, and abuse
We do not use cookies to build cross-site profiles for advertising, and we do not sell information collected via cookies.
03. Cookies we use
Our cookies fall into two functional categories: those strictly necessary for the site to operate (theme preference storage, anti-spam protection on the contact form), and those used for aggregate, non-identifying traffic measurement.
Strictly-necessary cookies and storage cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality. Analytics cookies, where set at all, load only after explicit consent in jurisdictions requiring it, and aggregate data without identifying individuals. Specific cookie names and their lifetimes are available on written request via the contact channel listed in §07.
05. Your choices
You can control cookies through several mechanisms:
- Browser settings — most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Blocking all cookies may break some functionality of the Sites.
- Consent banner — where required by law, we display a consent banner that lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies.
- Opt-out tools — for Google Analytics, you can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Strictly necessary cookies cannot be rejected because the Sites cannot function without them.
04. Third-party cookies
A small number of cookies may be set by the underlying infrastructure services we use (hosting, edge security, and analytics). These third parties operate under their own privacy policies, which take precedence over ours in respect of the data they collect.
06. Do Not Track signals
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal to websites. Because there is no industry-wide standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, we do not currently change our cookie practices based on DNT signals. We will continue to monitor the development of standards in this area.
07. Changes & contact
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the Cookie Policy was last revised. Material changes will be highlighted on the Sites or, where appropriate, communicated by email.
