We use a small number of cookies to keep BlessingTide.Com fast and to understand how readers use the site. Here is what they do and how to control them.

This Cookie Policy explains how BlessingTide.Com (ablessingtide.com) uses cookies and similar technologies. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They help the site remember information about your visit, load pages faster and understand how content is being used. Similar technologies include local storage and small tracking pixels.

How We Use Cookies

BlessingTide.Com has no user accounts or online shop, so we keep our use of cookies minimal. We use them for:

  • Basic analytics: to count visits, see which blessings, prayers and verses are most helpful, and understand general traffic patterns. This data is reviewed in aggregate and is not used to identify you personally.
  • Caching and performance: to help pages load quickly and reliably.
  • Essential functions: to remember your cookie preferences and protect our newsletter and contact forms from spam.

Essential Cookies

These are necessary for the website to work properly and securely. They cannot be switched off in our systems.

Analytics Cookies

These help us understand how visitors interact with the site so we can improve our content. Where required by law, we only set them with your consent.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies may be set by trusted service providers, such as our analytics, hosting or newsletter tools. In the future, if we add affiliate links to products like Bibles or devotionals, retailers may set cookies when you click those links to record the referral.

What We Do Not Do

  • We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles or track you across other websites.
  • We do not sell information collected through cookies.
  • We do not use cookies to collect payment details or passwords.
