This Cookie Policy explains how BGS Security Division LLC uses cookies and similar technologies on bgs.us. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information about how a site is used.
Cookies can be:
- Session cookies — Temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies — Cookies that remain on your device for a set period of time, or until you delete them manually.
- First-party cookies — Set by the website you are visiting.
- Third-party cookies — Set by a domain other than the website you are visiting, typically by embedded services and tools.
2. How We Use Cookies
Our website uses a minimal number of cookies. We do not use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking. The cookies on our site fall into the following categories:
Essential / Functional Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly. They enable core features such as contact form submission and page navigation. Without these cookies, certain parts of the website would not work. Because they are strictly necessary, these cookies cannot be disabled.
Third-Party Service Cookies
Our website uses third-party services that may set their own cookies or similar technologies on your device. These include, but are not limited to, tools for analytics, performance monitoring, form processing, and website optimization. Third-party services currently or previously used on this site include:
- Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) — Powers our contact and quote request forms. May set cookies to process form submissions and measure performance. Subject to Brevo's Privacy Policy.
- Google Fonts — Loads font files from Google's servers. May result in Google logging your IP address. Governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
- Calendly — We may use Calendly to allow visitors to schedule appointments or consultations directly on our website. Calendly may set cookies to manage scheduling sessions. Subject to Calendly's Privacy Policy.
- Analytics and performance tools — We may use services such as Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, or similar platforms to understand how visitors use our site. These tools may set cookies and collect anonymized usage data. Each tool's data practices are governed by their respective privacy policies.
We will update this list as our use of third-party tools changes.
3. Managing Cookies
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View which cookies are stored on your device and delete them individually or in bulk.
- Block third-party cookies.
- Block cookies from specific websites.
- Block all cookies (note: this may affect website functionality).

For instructions on managing cookies in your specific browser, visit your browser's help center:
Please be aware that restricting cookies may affect the functionality of our contact forms and other interactive features of this website.
4. Do Not Track
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals your preference not to be tracked. Because there is no universally accepted standard for responding to DNT signals, our website does not currently alter its behavior based on DNT settings. However, as noted above, we do not engage in cross-site behavioral tracking.
5. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time — for example, if we introduce new tools or services that affect how cookies are used on our website. Any changes will be reflected on this page with a revised Effective Date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
