Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device, remember preferences, and collect information about how you interact with the service. Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot access other data on your device.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

3. Why We Use Cookies

• ▸ Authenticate users and maintain secure API dashboard sessions
• ▸ Remember your dashboard settings and display preferences
• ▸ Measure and improve the performance of our payment and gift-card APIs
• ▸ Detect, prevent, and investigate fraud or security incidents
• ▸ Attribute trial sign-ups and paid conversions to the correct marketing channel

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by trusted third-party services we use to operate and improve blackhawnketwork. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, over which we have no direct control.

5. How to Manage & Disable Cookies

You have several options for controlling cookies:

• ▸Cookie Consent Banner: When you first visit, a banner lets you accept or reject non-essential cookie categories individually.
• ▸Browser Settings: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies via Settings → Privacy. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will impair core site functionality.
• ▸Opt-out Tools: Use the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on or the LinkedIn Ads opt-out page to stop those specific trackers.
• ▸Do Not Track: We honour browser-level Do Not Track (DNT) signals for analytics cookies.

Note: disabling all cookies may prevent you from logging in to the API dashboard or accessing developer tools.

6. Your Consent

By clicking "Accept All" on our cookie banner, you consent to the use of analytics and marketing cookies. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent and are always active. You may withdraw consent at any time by clicking the cookie icon in the bottom-left corner of any page and adjusting your preferences — this will not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

Our legal basis for processing data via strictly necessary cookies is legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). For analytics and marketing cookies, the legal basis is your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR).

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use, applicable law, or our business practices. Material changes will be announced via a notice on our website at least 14 days before taking effect. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page always reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of blackhawnketwork after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
