How we use cookies
At The Big Blue Box Podcast, we use cookies to enable site functionality, improve our service and provide embedded content.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site to remember your actions and preferences over time.
2. What types of cookies we use and examples
We use three broad categories of cookies:
- Strictly necessary cookies: These are essential for the Site to function, for example the comment-form preference when you check the box to save your name/email in your browser.
- Analytics cookies: These help us understand how visitors use the Site; for example Google Analytics cookies.
- Embedded media / functional cookies: These enable richer content features (for example YouTube or Captivate Player interactions) and may be set by the third-party service when you interact with the content.
Please note that as we add further features (for example advertising or tracking pixels), we will update this policy to reflect new cookie types.
3. Managing cookies
You have choices when it comes to cookies:
- You can change your browser settings to block or delete cookies.

Please be aware that disabling certain categories of cookies may affect the functionality of the Site.
4. Third-party cookies
When you interact with embedded content from YouTube or the Captivate Player, cookies may be set by those services. We do not control those cookies and you should review the cookie and privacy policies of those services for more information.
5. Changes to this policy
