Third-Party Providers
Some cookies are set by third parties on our behalf. You can review each
provider's privacy practices at the following links:
Do Not Track
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature. Business-Be does
not currently respond to DNT signals, as there is no established
industry standard for how to interpret them. You can manage your cookie
preferences through our cookie settings panel instead.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can manage or withdraw your consent to optional cookies at any time
via the "Manage Preferences" option in our cookie banner or in your
account settings under Privacy Controls. You can also manage cookies
through your browser settings:
-
Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies

Site Data
-
Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and Site Permissions
Please note that disabling essential cookies will prevent Business-Be
from functioning correctly. Disabling analytics or marketing cookies
will not affect your ability to use our services but may result in less
relevant promotions being displayed.

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes
in technology or regulation. We will notify you of significant changes

after such notice constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
