COOKIE POLICY
Last updated: July 20, 2023
This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at https://biit.co.uk. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them. In some cases, we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. Cookies can be first-party cookies, set by the website owner (in this case, https://biit.co.uk), or third-party cookies, set by parties other than the website owner. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and when it visits certain other websites.
Why do we use cookies?
We use first- and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons to operate our website, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies allow us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Online Properties. Third parties may serve cookies through our website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
How can I control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager, which allows you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services. The Cookie Consent Manager can be found in the notification banner and on our website. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, but your access to some functionality and areas may be restricted. You may also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies.

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These tiny graphics files contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our website or opened an email including them. Web beacons allow us, for example, to monitor traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, deliver or communicate with cookies, understand whether users have come to the website from online advertisements displayed on third-party websites, improve site performance, and measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies rely on cookies to function properly, so declining cookies may impair their functioning.
Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?
Websites may also use “Flash Cookies” (Local Shared Objects or “LSOs”) for various purposes, including collecting and storing information about your use of our services, fraud prevention, and site operations. If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools in the Website Storage Settings Panel or the Global Storage Settings Panel. Please note that restricting Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including those used in connection with our services or online content.
Do you serve targeted advertising?
Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to provide advertising through our website. These companies use information about your visits to this and other websites to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that may interest you. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details, or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide them.
How often will you update this Cookie Policy?
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
