What are cookies used for?

Cookies allow a site or services to know if your computer or device has visited that site or service before.

What types of cookies does BlueFox use?

BlueFox is using Session cookies, Status cookies and Google Analytics cookies. Session cookies allow users to be recognized within a website so any page changes or item or data selection you do is remembered from page to page. Google Analytics is a web-based analytics tool that lets website owners and mobile apps understand users’ behaviors. Cookies are there to collect information in order to be able to generate reports on the use of a website without identifying users.

The cookies we use are called Performance cookies, because they allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site, and we will not be able to monitor or optimize the performance of the website.
