This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies Bilomin.com uses, why we use them, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains more broadly how we handle personal data.
This policy applies to all pages of Bilomin.com and is written in compliance with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), as they apply in the United Kingdom.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites function properly, to improve performance, and to provide information to the owners of the site. Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser (session cookies). Others remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them (persistent cookies).
Similar technologies, such as local storage or web beacons, may perform comparable functions. References to "cookies" in this policy include these similar technologies where applicable.
We group the cookies we use into four categories, consistent with the guidance of the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
These cookies are essential for the website to function. They cannot be switched off in our systems. They are set in response to actions you take, such as recording your cookie consent preferences. Without these cookies, parts of the site would not work correctly.
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| bil_consent | Bilomin.com | Stores your cookie consent preferences so we do not ask again on each visit | 12 months | Persistent, First-Party |
| bil_session | Bilomin.com | Maintains basic session state during your visit to enable normal site functionality | Session (deleted on browser close) | Session, First-Party |
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often and whether visitors encounter any errors. All data collected is aggregated and anonymised where possible. We use this information to improve the website. These cookies are only set with your consent.
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique users by assigning a randomly generated number as a client identifier | 2 years | Persistent, Third-Party |
| _ga_[ID] | Google Analytics | Stores and counts page views for analytics reporting | 2 years | Persistent, Third-Party |
| _gid | Google Analytics | Distinguishes users for reporting purposes; resets each day | 24 hours | Persistent, Third-Party |
Functional cookies enable the website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personal features. These are only set with your consent. Currently, Bilomin.com does not use functional cookies beyond those described as strictly necessary, but this may change as the site develops.
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No functional cookies are currently in use beyond strictly necessary cookies. | ||||
Bilomin does not currently use targeting or advertising cookies on this website. If this changes, this policy will be updated accordingly and your consent will be requested before any such cookies are placed.
Some cookies on our site are set by third parties, specifically Google Analytics. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies which govern their use of the data they collect. We encourage you to review Google's Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy for full details of how Google processes analytics data.
Our contact page includes an embedded Google Maps iframe. When this is displayed, Google may set cookies or collect data in accordance with its own policies. This occurs only if you have consented to performance cookies, or it may occur as part of the embedded service independently. Please review Google's cookie policy for further information.
You have several options for managing cookies:
Under PECR and UK GDPR, we require your freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent as they are essential to providing the service you have requested.
You may withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your settings via the cookie consent panel. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of any cookie use that took place before withdrawal.
We retain a record of your cookie consent (stored in the bil_consent cookie) for twelve months. After this period, we will ask for your preferences again. You may update your preferences at any time before the expiry of this period.
We review and update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in the cookies we use or applicable legal requirements. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the most recent revision was made. We encourage you to check this page periodically.
If you have questions about our use of cookies or wish to exercise any rights in relation to data processed via cookies, please contact us:
You may also contact the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk if you have a concern about our use of cookies that we have been unable to resolve.
