Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that a website saves to your browser when you visit. Cookies allow websites to remember information about your visit — such as your preferences or whether you have already consented to our cookie use.

Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or malware. They are simply small pieces of stored text. Some cookies expire when you close your browser (session cookies); others remain on your device for a set period (persistent cookies).

2. Essential cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They do not store any personally identifiable information.

• bwc_cookie_consent — stores your cookie consent preference so we do not ask again on each visit. Expires after 12 months.

Essential cookies are set automatically and do not require your consent.

3. Analytics cookies

With your consent, we use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use our website. This helps us improve the content, layout, and performance of the site. No personally identifiable information is collected.

• Google Analytics — collects anonymised data such as pages visited, time on site, device type, and approximate location (country/city level). Data is processed by Google in line with their privacy policy.

Analytics cookies are only set if you click "Accept all" or enable them in the Preferences panel. You can withdraw your consent at any time by clearing your browser's local storage and revisiting the site.

4. Marketing cookies

With your consent, marketing cookies may be set to help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. These cookies track whether you visited our website after seeing one of our ads.

• Meta Pixel — set by Meta (Facebook/Instagram) to track ad conversions and build retargeting audiences. Processed by Meta in line with their data policy.

Marketing cookies are only set with your explicit consent and are not active if you select "Reject" on the cookie banner.

5. Third-party cookies

Some cookies on this site are set by third-party services rather than directly by us. These include:

• Google (Analytics, Fonts) — Google Privacy Policy
• Meta (Pixel) — Meta Privacy Policy

We do not control third-party cookies and recommend reviewing their respective privacy policies for full details on how they handle your data.

6. Managing your cookie preferences

You have several options for managing cookies:

• Cookie banner — on your first visit, use our banner to accept, reject, or customise your preferences.
• Reset preferences — clear bwc_cookie_consent from your browser's localStorage and reload the page. The banner will reappear.
• Browser settings — most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. Note that blocking essential cookies may affect site functionality.
• Google Analytics opt-out — install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

7. Your consent

By clicking "Accept all" on our cookie banner, you consent to us setting analytics and marketing cookies as described in this policy. Clicking "Reject" means only essential cookies will be set.

You can change your consent at any time by resetting your preferences as described above. Consent records are stored locally in your browser and are not transmitted to our servers.

For more information on how we handle your personal data generally, please read our Privacy Policy.
