Cookie Policy

Effective date: 26 February 2026
Last updated: 26 February 2026

‍1. Introduction

‍This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Bazema Limited uses cookies and similar technologies on bazema.com and bazemaos.com, what information they collect, and how you can control their use.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data more broadly.

Both websites are operated by Bazema Limited, a company registered in England and Wales. Where this policy refers to “our websites,” it means both domains.

‍2. What Are Cookies?

‍Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to work more efficiently, and to provide information to the website operator.

Cookies may be:
‍First-party cookies - set by the website you are visiting
‍Third-party cookies - set by a different domain (such as an analytics provider)
‍Session cookies - deleted when you close your browser
‍Persistent cookies - remain on your device for a defined period or until deleted

In addition to cookies, websites may use similar technologies such as pixel tags or local storage. Where this policy refers to “cookies,” it includes these similar technologies unless stated otherwise.

‍3. How We Use Cookies

‍We use cookies only for the purposes set out below.

‍These cookies are essential for our websites to function. They enable core features such as:
- Page navigation

Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent under UK law and are placed automatically when you visit our websites.

‍3.2 Analytics Cookies (Consent Required)

‍Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our websites so we can improve structure, clarity, and performance.

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) for this purpose. Analytics cookies collect information such as:
- Pages visited
- Time spent on pages
- Referral source
- Browser and device type
- Approximate geographic location

This data is aggregated and does not directly identify you as an individual.

Analytics cookies are only placed if you give explicit consent via our cookie consent banner.

‍We want to be explicit about what we do not do:
- We do not use advertising or retargeting cookies

- We do not use Google Ads cookies or conversion tracking
- We do not serve personalised or behavioural advertising
- We do not engage in cross-site tracking
- We do not sell or share cookie data with third parties for their own purposes

If this ever changes, we will update this policy and seek your consent before placing any new categories of cookies.

‍5. Cookie Consent

5.1 How Consent Works

‍When you first visit our websites, a cookie consent banner appears giving you a clear choice to:
- Accept analytics cookies
- Decline analytics cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are not included in this choice.

‍5.2 Changing Your Preferences

‍You can change your cookie preferences at any time by:
- Clicking the “Cookie Preferences” link in the footer of our websites
- Clearing your browser cookies (which resets consent)
- Adjusting your browser settings (see Section 6)

A cookie storing your preference is itself classified as strictly necessary.

‍5.3 If You Do Not Consent

‍If you decline analytics cookies, our websites function fully and normally. The only difference is that no analytics data is collected.

‍6. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

‍Most browsers allow you to manage cookies via their settings. You can usually:
- View cookies stored on your device
- Delete cookies
- Block cookies entirely or selectively

Common browser paths:
‍Chrome: Settings - Privacy and security - Cookies and other site data
‍Safari: Preferences - Privacy - Manage Website Data
‍Firefox: Settings - Privacy & Security - Cookies and Site Data
‍Edge: Settings - Cookies and site permissions

Blocking all cookies may prevent some site features from working.

‍7. “Do Not Track” Signals

‍There is no universally accepted standard for “Do Not Track” signals. Our approach is simple:
- We do not place analytics cookies unless you explicitly consent, regardless of your browser’s DNT setting.

‍8. Children

‍Our websites are intended for business professionals and are not directed at individuals under 18. We do not knowingly place cookies on children’s devices.

‍9. International Data Transfers

‍Analytics data processed by Google Analytics may be transferred outside the UK.

Safeguards include:
- UK-approved Standard Contractual Clauses
- The UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (where applicable)

Further detail is provided in our Privacy Policy.

Placed under PECR Regulation 6(4). No consent required.

‍Analytics cookies:
Placed only with explicit consent under PECR Regulation 6(1) and Article 6(1)(a) UK GDPR.

We do not rely on legitimate interests to place cookies.
