1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (such as a computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website.

These cookies help a website function properly and securely, protect against misuse, remember certain preferences, and enable the collection of anonymous statistics about how visitors use the website.

Some cookies are essential for the operation of the website, while others help improve performance, functionality, and the overall user experience.

1.2 Types of Cookies We Use

To ensure that BCNLBE & BCGlobal Blog & News functions properly, securely, and efficiently, we use the following categories of cookies:

  • Functional Cookies (Strictly Necessary) : These cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly. They enable core features such as page navigation, security, form submissions, and cookie preference management. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.
  • Analytics Cookies: We use privacy-friendly analytics tools to gain insight into how visitors use our website. These statistics help us improve the performance, content, and user experience of the Blog & News Fanpage. Where possible, this information is collected anonymously.
  • Embedded Media Cookies: Certain pages may contain embedded content, such as Les Mills trailers, promotional videos, or other media delivered through Bynder/CloudFront via the Les Mills Marketing Studio. These services may place cookies that are subject to the privacy and cookie policies of the respective third-party providers.

We do not use cookies for personalized advertising, behavioral profiling, or third-party marketing purposes.

2. What Technologies Do We Use?

These systems only use functional, temporary cookies or security tokens to prevent brute-force attacks, block spam, encrypt data traffic (HSTS), and improve website loading times.
  • Privacy-Friendly Analytics: We measure website traffic locally using Koko Analytics. Koko Analytics is configured in a cookieless mode and does not place analytics or tracking cookies on visitors’ devices. All statistics are processed locally on our own server. No personal data is collected, shared, or transferred to third parties for analytics purposes.
  • Embedded Media (Videos): We display Les Mills trailers and technique education videos through an embedded media player provided by Bynder, delivered via the CloudFront network. The embedded video player may use technical browser storage that is necessary for proper video playback and for remembering player preferences and settings.
  • Forms: We use Contact Form 7 and Contact Form Entries to process and store form submissions. When you complete and submit a form, the information is transmitted and stored securely. These plugins do not place tracking cookies on your device by default.
