Understanding cookies and your choices
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, why websites use them, and how you may be able to manage cookie settings while using bhiagroup.com.
Cookies and similar technologies can help websites operate, remember preferences, understand how visitors use pages and support certain embedded or third-party features. The technologies actually used depend on the website’s configuration and the services enabled.
This policy describes general practices and available browser controls. It does not confirm that every category of cookie described below is currently active on this website.
01 / Definitions
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website may store on your browser or device when you visit. They can allow a website to recognize a browser, remember certain settings or maintain information needed for a particular function.
Other technologies may serve similar purposes, including browser storage, pixels, tags and scripts. In this policy, the term “cookies” may refer to cookies and similar technologies where the context permits.
Cookies may be set by the website you visit or by another service operating through that website. Some are temporary and expire when you close your browser; others may remain on your device until they expire or you remove them.
02 / Purpose
How cookies may be used
Depending on the features enabled on our website, cookies and similar technologies may support the following purposes.
Security and core functionality
Some technologies may help maintain sessions, protect forms, support security measures, balance requests or provide essential website functionality.
Remembering choices
Where implemented, cookies may remember settings such as consent choices or other preferences so you do not need to make the same selection repeatedly.
Understanding website use
Analytics technologies, if enabled, may help measure visits, understand page performance and identify areas where the website experience can be improved.
Embedded services
Third-party features, such as embedded media, maps or external tools, may use their own technologies according to their respective settings and privacy policies.
03 / Cookie categories
Types of cookies
Cookies are commonly grouped by their purpose and how long they remain on a device.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies may be needed for core website functions, security or services you specifically request. Where applicable law permits, they may be used without consent. Other cookies should be handled according to the applicable consent requirements.
Preference cookies
These cookies may remember settings or choices to provide a more consistent experience. Their use depends on the features available and the applicable consent requirements.
Analytics and performance cookies
If analytics tools are enabled, these technologies may collect information about website visits, page interactions, browser types or technical performance. Their use and any required consent depend on the tools deployed and applicable law.
Advertising and targeting cookies
Some websites use these cookies to measure advertising or personalize promotional content. This policy does not assert that BlueHarbor currently uses advertising or targeting cookies. Any such use should be disclosed and managed in accordance with applicable requirements.
Session and persistent cookies
Session cookies generally expire when a browsing session ends. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until deleted. Actual lifetimes vary according to the cookie’s purpose and configuration.
04 / External services
Third-party cookies and technologies
Some website functions may rely on services provided by third parties. If such services are enabled, their providers may set cookies or use similar technologies through the website.
Third-party providers operate under their own policies and technical practices. Their collection and use of information may differ from BlueHarbor’s practices, and their services may change over time.
We recommend reviewing the privacy and cookie information of any external service you use through this website. The presence of a third-party link alone does not mean that the external provider receives information simply because you view this policy.
05 / Your choices
Managing cookie preferences
You can use browser settings to review, restrict or delete cookies. The options available depend on your browser and device.
Browser settings
Most browsers allow you to block cookies, delete existing cookies or configure settings for particular websites. Blocking all cookies may affect some website features, including functions that rely on saved preferences or session information.
Consent and preference tools
If a cookie preference or consent tool is available on this website, you may use it to review the categories presented and change your choices. Where consent is required, non-essential cookies should be handled in accordance with the applicable rules and the choices you make.
Deleting cookies in your browser may remove a previously saved preference. Depending on the website’s configuration, you may be asked to make your selection again on a future visit.
06 / Storage
Cookie duration and retention
Cookies may remain on your device for different periods, depending on their purpose, configuration and provider. Session cookies generally expire when the browser session ends, while persistent cookies remain until their stated expiry or deletion.
Where cookies or related technologies collect information that qualifies as personal information, applicable retention requirements and the purposes for which that information is used may also be relevant.
For precise information about the cookies currently operating on this website, including names, providers, purposes and expiry periods, the live website configuration should be reviewed and documented.
07 / Data protection
Cookies and personal information
Some cookies and similar technologies may collect information that identifies or can reasonably be linked to a browser, device or individual. Other information may be aggregated or used for technical purposes.
Where applicable, the collection and use of personal information is subject to relevant data protection and privacy requirements. Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights relating to access, deletion, correction, objection or consent withdrawal.
For further information about how personal information may be handled, please review our Privacy Policy. For questions about this policy or difficulty using the website, please contact BlueHarbor.
