This Cookie Policy explains how Belisto LLC ("Belisto," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at belisto.ai and in the Belisto Local Growth Platform (collectively, the "Site").
This Cookie Policy is part of, and should be read together with, our Privacy Policy. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meanings given in the Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to the website owner.
Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixel tags, web beacons, and software development kit (SDK) elements that perform comparable functions. In this Policy, "cookies" refers to all of these technologies collectively unless we specify otherwise.
We use cookies for the following purposes:
We do not use cookies for advertising, cross-site tracking, or interest-based marketing.
The specific cookies we use may change from time to time as we update the Site. The following table describes the cookies currently in use. Where we engage third-party services that set their own cookies, we link to each provider's cookie or privacy policy.

Authenticated users of the Belisto Local Growth Platform may encounter additional strictly necessary cookies required to provide platform features. These are described, as applicable, within the Platform's help documentation. We do not use marketing or advertising cookies within the authenticated Platform.
When you first visit the Site, we display a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookies. You can change your choices at any time by clicking the Cookie Preferences link in the Site footer.
Most browsers allow you to manage cookies through settings, including:
Guidance for common browsers:
Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may cause parts of the Site to malfunction.
Our Site honors the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal where technically feasible. If your browser sends a GPC signal, we will treat it as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (noting that we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, so the signal is primarily confirmatory).
Some browsers support a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting. Because there is no industry consensus on how to respond to DNT, we do not respond to DNT signals specifically, but we honor GPC and the consent choices you make through our cookie banner.
If we use analytics that offer opt-out tools, we provide a link here:
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal or operational reasons. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this Policy indicates when it was last revised. For material changes, we will take reasonable steps to notify you, such as by updating the cookie banner or by email to registered users.
