Overview
This policy explains the technologies that may store or read information when you visit Blackline. It should be read with the Privacy Policy and the live consent preferences presented on the website.
What cookies are
Cookies are small files placed on a browser or device. Related tools—including local storage, pixels, tags and software development kits—can perform similar functions.
How Blackline uses these technologies
- Keep sessions secure and prevent fraud.
- Remember language, region and interface preferences.
- Measure performance, errors and navigation patterns.
- Understand campaign effectiveness and referrals.
- Present relevant communications where consent permits.
Strictly necessary cookies
These support login, security, load balancing, service delivery, fraud prevention and consent records. Because the service may not function without them, they are generally active by default.
Preference cookies
Preference technologies remember choices such as language, region, accessibility settings and interface state. Disabling them may cause settings to be forgotten.
Analytics cookies
With consent where required, analytics help Blackline understand aggregate usage, page performance, feature adoption and errors. Reports should be configured to minimise unnecessary personal information.
Advertising and affiliate technologies
If enabled, these may measure campaigns, referrals or advertising frequency. An affiliate link may generate a commission without changing the user's price. Such technologies should remain off until consent where applicable.
Third-party cookies
Hosting, security, analytics, communications, payment and embedded-content providers may set or receive identifiers under their own policies. Before launch, the consent manager should list each active provider, category, purpose and duration.
Session and persistent cookies
Session cookies expire when the browser closes. Persistent cookies remain until their stated expiry or until removed. Retention should be no longer than needed for the stated function.
Your choices
Use the website's cookie controls to accept, reject or change optional categories. Browser settings can also block or remove technologies, though this may affect authentication and features. Strictly necessary cookies cannot always be disabled through the preference panel.
Do Not Track and global privacy signals
Standards differ across browsers and jurisdictions. The launch implementation should document which legally recognised signals it honours and process them consistently.
Updates
Blackline may revise this policy when providers, technologies or legal requirements change. Material revisions will show a new date and receive additional notice where required.
