This cookie policy explains how Business Blog Hub uses cookies and similar technologies on businessbloghub.com, and how you can control them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your device when you visit. They help the site work, remember your preferences and, on some sites, track your activity. Under UK law (the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations), websites must tell you about the cookies they use and ask for your consent before setting any that are not strictly necessary.
Our approach
We keep cookies to a minimum and we do not use advertising cookies. We use Google Analytics to understand how people use the site, but only if you agree. When you first visit, a banner asks whether you accept or reject analytics cookies. Nothing is set until you choose, and you can change your mind at any time using the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page.
Cookies we use
If you leave a comment
When you leave a comment, you can tick a box to save your name, email address and website for next time. Only if you tick that box, these cookies are set:
- comment_author_[code]: remembers your name. Kept for one year.
- comment_author_email_[code]: remembers your email address. Kept for one year.
- comment_author_url_[code]: remembers your website address. Kept for one year.
If you do not tick the box, these cookies are not set.
Analytics cookies (only if you accept)
If you click Accept on our cookie banner, we use Google Analytics to collect anonymous information about how visitors use the site, such as which pages are read, how long people stay and how they found us. This helps us write better articles. Google Analytics is provided by Google Ireland Limited and Google LLC.
- _ga: distinguishes one visitor from another. Kept for two years.
- _ga_XQGMG09TSZ: keeps track of your visit. Kept for two years.
If you click Reject, or do not choose, these cookies are not set and Google Analytics does not load.
Your cookie choice
- bbh_consent: remembers whether you accepted or rejected analytics cookies, so we do not ask on every page. Kept for six months.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are only used by people who log in to manage the website, such as our editors. Ordinary visitors will not receive them.
- wordpress_test_cookie: checks that your browser accepts cookies when you visit the login page. Deleted when you close your browser.
- wordpress_logged_in_[code] and wordpress_sec_[code]: keep editors securely logged in. Deleted when they log out or after a set period.
- wp-settings-[code]: remembers editors’ dashboard preferences. Kept for one year.
Third-party services
Our pages load typefaces from Google Fonts, and if you accept analytics cookies, Google Analytics as described above. Google does not set cookies through this service, but your browser does connect to Google’s servers, which receive your IP address. If you leave a comment, your profile picture may be loaded from Gravatar. More details are in our Privacy Policy.
Some articles may include embedded content, such as videos, from other websites. Embedded content behaves in exactly the same way as if you visited the other website, and those sites may set their own cookies. Please check their cookie policies for details.
How to control cookies
You can block or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Most browsers let you:
- see which cookies are stored and delete them individually
- block cookies from particular sites or all sites
- delete all cookies when you close your browser
You can also change your analytics choice at any time with the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page. Blocking cookies will not stop you reading our articles. It may only mean you need to re-enter your details if you leave another comment.
For guidance on managing cookies in your browser, visit the ICO’s cookie advice.
