We use cookies and similar technologies at Bergie Consult & Design to help improve your experience on our website at https://bergie.me and across other sites that we own and operate. This cookie policy is part of Bergie Consult & Design’s privacy policy and explains our use of cookies, your choices regarding cookies, and basic information on third-party services that may also use cookies.
If you don’t wish to accept certain cookies from us, you may refer to the “Manage Your Privacy & Cookie Settings” section below for details. However, please note that some functionality or features may not be available if certain cookies are disabled.
What is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small piece of data stored on your device when you visit a website. It typically contains information about the website, a unique identifier for your web browser, additional data for the cookie’s purpose, and the cookie’s lifespan.
Cookies serve various purposes, such as enabling essential features (e.g., logging in), tracking website usage (e.g., analytics), storing user preferences (e.g., time zone, notification settings), and personalizing content (e.g., advertisements, language preferences).
Cookies set by the website you’re visiting are called first-party cookies and generally only track activity on that site. Cookies set by third parties are called third-party cookies, and they may track your activity on other websites that use the same third-party service.
Types of Cookies We Use
- Strictly Necessary & Essential: These items are required to ensure core functionality. As the website will not function properly without them, they are enabled by default and this cannot be changed.
- Analytics & Performance: This enables us to improve our website by collecting and reporting information on its usage. It helps us better understand how people interact with the website and if there are any technical issues that could impact your experience.
- Functional & Personalization: This allows us to provide you with a more personalized experience on our website and to remember choices you make when you use our website. For example, we may remember your preferred language, your region or timezone, or other personal settings like login information.
- Marketing & Advertising: This helps us deliver personalized marketing content to you, including advertisements, that is more relevant to your interests. This may also be used to limit the number of times you see certain marketing content and to measure the effectiveness of different marketing campaigns.
- Unclassified: From time to time, there may be newer items under review that have not yet been classified into a specific category. Once reviewed, they will be assigned to the appropriate category based on their purpose and functionality.
