What cookies BlitzSurveys uses, why, and how you can manage your preferences.
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to site owners. Cookies do not contain viruses or personal data in a human-readable form — they are identifiers that help us recognize your browser across sessions.
BlitzSurveys uses cookies for three purposes: keeping you logged in while you navigate the platform (essential), understanding how the platform is used so we can improve it (analytics), and remembering your preferences such as display settings (functional).
We do not use cookies for advertising targeting, behavioral tracking across third-party sites, or profiling.

When you participate in surveys hosted on third-party provider platforms (such as sample-cube.com), those providers may set their own cookies on your device. These cookies are governed by the respective provider's privacy policy, not ours. We do not control or have access to data collected by third-party survey provider cookies.
If you sign in with Google, Google's OAuth service may set cookies for authentication purposes. These are governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Here's how:
Disabling essential cookies will prevent you from logging into your BlitzSurveys account. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use the platform.
Some browsers transmit a "Do Not Track" signal to websites. BlitzSurveys honors Do Not Track signals by disabling analytics cookies for browsers that send this signal. Essential cookies necessary for platform operation are always set regardless of DNT status.
We may update this Cookie Policy when we add or remove cookies from the platform. Material changes will be communicated via a notice on the platform. The date of the latest revision appears at the top of this page.
