Cookie Policy

Effective July 23, 2026

This Cookie Policy describes the cookies and similar technologies we use on birminghammarketingguy.com (the “Site”), why we use them, and how you can control them. It supplements our Privacy Policy.

What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device when you visit. They let the site recognize your device on future visits, remember settings, and measure how the site is used. “Similar technologies” include pixels, tags, web beacons, and local storage entries that perform equivalent functions.

First-party cookies are set by the site you are visiting. Third-party cookies are set by a service embedded in the site. Both are governed by this Policy.

How You Control Cookies

Three categories run on this Site:

  • Necessary. Always on. Keep the Site functional and remember your cookie choice.
  • Analytics. Aggregate usage measurement. No advertising identifiers.
  • Marketing. Third-party embedded tools including the on-page chat widget.

For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, or where a Global Privacy Control signal is present, Analytics and Marketing cookies are off by default and only run after affirmative opt in. For visitors elsewhere, including the United States, they run under an opt-out model and can be turned off any time.

You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge. Blocking all cookies limits parts of the Site.

Third-Party Recipients

Do Not Track

We do not currently respond to Do Not Track browser signals because no consistent industry standard has emerged. We do honor the Global Privacy Control signal as an opt-out under state privacy laws that recognize it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as tags change or laws evolve. Material changes will update the “Effective” date and, where required, a notice on the Site.
