8. Cookies
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how our website is used and to improve it. Visitors located in the United Kingdom, European Union, European Economic Area or Switzerland see a consent banner and GA4 loads only if you accept. Visitors in all other countries have GA4 enabled automatically because PECR/ePrivacy consent rules do not apply.
To make that decision we query ipapi.co (operated by apilayer AG) once per new visit. The request shares your IP address so we can receive a two-letter country code; we do not store the IP address or country code after deciding whether to enable cookies.
Your choice is saved in your browser's localStorage (bb_analytics_consent) for six months so we remember it on future visits. You can change it any time using the "Cookie settings" link in the footer.
8a. Analytics cookies (GA4)
When GA4 is active (either because you granted consent or because you access the site from outside the UK/EU), Google may set the following cookies:
_ga(2 years): Distinguishes users (random identifier)._ga_<container-id>(2 years): Persists session state.- Additional short-lived cookies may be set for session attribution.
We do not use Google Ads or remarketing on this site. IP addresses may be truncated and aggregated by Google. See Google's Privacy Policy.
If you decline analytics or we cannot determine your location, GA4 will not load and no analytics cookies will be set.
9. Security
We employ TLS 1.3 encryption, strict CSP headers, vulnerability scans and role‑based access controls. Our Stripe integration is PCI DSS Level 1 compliant.
10. Children
Our site is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect their data.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this notice periodically. Significant changes will be announced on the website or by e‑mail.
