1. What are cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work correctly, remember your preferences and, where consent is given, to help site operators understand how the site is used.

2. How we use cookies

BlackCores.org currently uses only strictly necessary cookies unless optional analytics cookies are separately enabled with your consent.

We do not use cookies for advertising, cross-site tracking, profiling or any purpose unrelated to site operation and, where you have consented, aggregate analytics.

3. Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the Site to function securely. They do not require your consent. Disabling them may affect how the site operates.

4. Analytics cookies

We may in future use privacy-respecting analytics tools to understand aggregate patterns of site use — for example, which pages are most visited and how users navigate the site. We do not use this information to identify individuals.

Analytics cookies: BlackCores.org does not currently load analytics cookies by default. If privacy-respecting analytics are enabled in future, they will only be activated following a clear, affirmative consent action from the user. No analytics cookies are pre-loaded or set without consent. No Google Ads or advertising cookies are used.

5. Third-party cookies

We do not currently embed third-party advertising, social media plugins or tracking pixels that set third-party cookies on this Site.

If third-party functionality is added in future that sets non-essential cookies, this notice will be updated and your consent obtained before those cookies are loaded.

6. No advertising cookies

BlackCores.org does not use Google Ads, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag or any other advertising network cookie or tracking pixel.

7. Managing your preferences

You can manage or refuse cookies through your browser settings at any time. Most modern browsers allow you to: view cookies that have been set; delete individual cookies or all cookies; block all cookies or block cookies from specific sites; set preferences for future cookie use.

Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect the security and functionality of the Site. Disabling analytics cookies, if enabled, will prevent aggregate usage data from being collected but will not otherwise affect your experience.

9. Changes to this notice

This notice may be updated to reflect changes in the technologies we use or in applicable law. Material changes will be noted on this page with an updated date. We will seek fresh consent where required.

10. Further information
