This Cookie Policy explains how BlueCollarMatch.com ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at BlueCollarMatch.com (the "Service"). This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect and use personal information more broadly.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to provide reporting information to website operators.

Cookies set by the website operator are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website operator are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable features or functionality provided by external services (such as analytics and advertising) to be integrated into the website.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

6. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked.

However, you can manage your cookie preferences using the methods described above.
