What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. We use them to keep the site working, to remember your privacy choices, and — only with your consent — to understand how the site is used and to tailor what you see. You can change or withdraw consent at any time using the button (bottom-left of every page).
Essentials
Always activeNecessary for the site to function and to remember your privacy choices. Always on.
| Service | Provider | Cookies | What it records |
|---|---|---|---|
| Consent preferences | BlackMine (first-party) | bb_consent | Stores the cookie choices you make here so we can honor them on your next visit. Without this, we could not remember that you opted out. |
| Security & deliveryPrivacy policy ↗ | Cloudflare | — | Hosts and delivers the site and protects it from abuse and denial-of-service attacks. Processes your IP address and basic request data as a matter of core infrastructure. |
Analytics
Optional · off by defaultMeasures how the site is used so we can improve it. First-party only — never sold or shared.
| Service | Provider | Cookies | What it records |
|---|---|---|---|
| First-party analytics | BlackMine (first-party) | bb_vidbb_vcbb_session | Counts visits and measures which pages and sections are useful — page views, scroll depth, time on page, CTA clicks, device type (mobile/tablet/desktop), and the general source you arrived from (including whether you came from an AI assistant). Recorded in our own database; not sold, shared, or sent to any ad network. |
| Event storagePrivacy policy ↗ | Supabase | — | The database where these first-party analytics events are stored. Acts only as our processor under contract. |
Marketing
Optional · off by defaultAdvertising and campaign-measurement tools.
| Service | Provider | Cookies | What it records |
|---|---|---|---|
| No advertising trackers in use | BlackMine (first-party) | — | We do not currently run any advertising pixels, cross-site trackers, or marketing cookies, and we do not sell or "share" your personal information for targeted advertising. This category governs your consent for any future marketing tools and reflects your Do-Not-Sell/Share preference. |
Personalization
Optional · off by defaultTailors which content and messages you see based on how you use the site.
| Service | Provider | Cookies | What it records |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-site personalization | BlackMine (first-party) | bb_segment | Assigns you to an anonymous audience segment (for example, first-time vs. returning) so we can show the most relevant content and messages. Stays on this site — never used to track you elsewhere. |
Your choices & browser signals
Non-essential cookies (Analytics, Marketing, Personalization) are off by default. They are only set after you opt in, and if you later opt out we clear them on your next request — nothing tracks you after you say no.
We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. If your browser or an extension broadcasts GPC, we treat it as a valid opt-out of any sale or sharing of personal information and lock that category off automatically.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some parts of the site may not work as intended if essential cookies are blocked.
