Last updated: 17 August 20261. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as local storage or pixels, can perform related functions. Cookies can be set by BBS (“first-party”) or by a service used on our website (“third-party”), and may last only for a browsing session or for a stated period.
2. How we use cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, remember basket contents and preferences, keep checkout and accounts secure, prevent fraud and understand whether the website is working correctly. If analytics, embedded content or advertising tools are enabled, they may use optional cookies with your permission.
3. Cookie categories
| Category | Purpose | Consent |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Basket and checkout operation, account login, payment security, fraud prevention, cookie choices and core website security. | Required for the service and cannot be switched off through the consent tool. |
| Functional | Remember optional preferences and enable enhanced features or embedded services. | Used only with consent where legally required. |
| Analytics | Help us understand visits, page performance and how customers use the site so we can improve it. | Used only after consent. |
| Advertising | Measure campaigns or tailor advertising across websites and services. | Used only after consent. |
4. Examples of services
The exact cookies present can change when website features and providers change. Cookies may be associated with WordPress, WooCommerce, WooPayments, Klarna, website security, contact forms, embedded maps or social links, and any analytics or advertising service enabled by BBS. The consent tool, where available, provides the most current category information detected on the site.
Payment providers may set strictly necessary cookies or use other technologies to process transactions, prevent fraud and meet legal requirements. Their own privacy and cookie notices explain their separate use of information.
5. Your choices
When the cookie banner is displayed, you can accept optional categories, reject non-essential cookies, or open the settings to choose by category. Rejecting optional cookies does not prevent you using the main shop, although an optional feature may work differently.
You can also delete or block cookies using your browser settings. Blocking all cookies may prevent the basket, checkout, account or security features from working.
6. How long cookies last
Session cookies are removed when the browser closes. Persistent cookies remain until their stated expiry or until you delete them. Lifetimes vary by purpose and provider. We periodically review the services and cookies used on this website.
7. Browser privacy signals
Browser “Do Not Track” and similar signals are not interpreted consistently by all services. Use the website’s consent controls and your browser cookie settings for the most reliable control.
8. Personal information
Where cookie information can identify or single out a person or device, we treat it as personal information. Read our Privacy Policy for details of legal bases, sharing, retention and your rights.
9. Updates
We may update this policy as website features, providers or legal requirements change. The revision date at the top identifies the latest version.
