11. How we use cookies
A cookie is a small file which asks permiss ion to be placed on your computer's hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.
We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyse data about web page traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the information is removed from the system.
Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to mo nitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the information you choose to share with us.
You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browse rs automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of our website.
Third Party Site Cookies: Some of our partners, vendors, agents, and servic e providers may use cookies on their respective websites to which you may be routed from our website. However, we have no access to, or control over, these cookies and do not accept any responsibility for such use.
12. Data security
We have put in place appropriate security measures to help prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we take steps to limit access to your personal information to those employees, a gents, contractors and other third parties who have a business or legal “need to know”.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal information breach and will notify you and any applicable data protection authority (including the Information Commissioner’s Office in the UK) of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
Various security measures, such as encryption and passwords, are implemented by us in accordance with industry standards to protect the security of your personal information (such as credit card numbers) both online and offline.
Unfortunately, despite our security efforts, there is always a risk that third parties may unlawfully intercept transmissions. As a result, we cannot ensure the security of any information you transmit, and you transmit all information at your own risk.

You can ask us to stop sending you marketing messages at any time - you just need to contact us (see below) or use the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you.
If you do not want us to use your personal information for marketing purposes, please send us an email at support@bliev.com
Where you opt out of receiving marketing messages, this will not apply to personal information provided to us as a result of purchasing our goods or any other transaction between you and us (as that information does not relate to marketing).
