Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, SITES.BD) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies."

2. How We Use Cookies

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our platform.

• Essential Session Cookies: Required to authenticate users, prevent fraudulent use of login credentials, and protect user accounts.
• Preference Cookies: Remember your settings, language preferences, and dashboard display configurations.
• Analytics & Performance Cookies: Collect information on how visitors interact with our website, helping us optimize page loading speeds and infrastructure performance.

3. Compliance with International Privacy Standards (GDPR & CCPA)

In alignment with international privacy frameworks—such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for European visitors and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) for US visitors—we ensure transparent consent mechanisms:

• Explicit Consent: Upon your first visit to SITES.BD, you are presented with a cookie consent banner allowing you to accept or manage non-essential cookies.
• Right to Opt-Out: You retain the right to withdraw your consent or block tracking cookies at any time via your browser settings.

4. How to Control or Delete Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by setting or amending your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to certain functionality and areas of our platform (such as your authenticated client dashboard) may be restricted.

5. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
