Cookie Policy
Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how BBWHookup.co.uk (“BBWHookup.co.uk”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) may use cookies and similar technologies when you visit or interact with https://bbwhookup.co.uk.
This policy is intended to help users understand what cookies are, why they may be used, and how they can be managed. It is written for a UK-facing website and aims to keep the explanation clear and practical.
By continuing to use the site, you acknowledge that cookies and related technologies may be used in connection with website operation, performance, analytics, and user experience, subject to applicable legal requirements.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website can place on your device when you visit it. They are widely used to help websites function properly, remember certain settings, understand how visitors use pages, and improve overall performance.
Cookies can be stored for different lengths of time. Some are temporary and are removed when you close your browser. Others may remain on your device for a longer period, depending on their purpose and your browser settings.
Cookies do not usually give a website direct access to unrelated information stored on your device. Instead, they are commonly used to recognise a browser, remember preferences, support site tools, and measure activity in a broad way.
In addition to cookies, similar technologies may be used, such as tracking pixels, tags, scripts, or local storage tools. For simplicity, this policy refers to these broadly as cookies where appropriate.
Types of cookies we may use
We may use different categories of cookies depending on how the website operates and which services are active at a given time.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies may be used to support core website functions. They help the site load correctly, maintain basic security, and support essential technical operations. Without these cookies, some parts of the website may not function as intended.
Performance and analytics cookies
These cookies may be used to understand how visitors interact with the website. For example, they may help us see which pages are visited, how users move through the site, how long pages are viewed, and whether any technical issues affect the user experience.
Functionality cookies
These cookies may be used to remember choices or preferences, such as settings related to how the site is viewed or used. Their purpose is to improve convenience and create a more consistent browsing experience.
Advertising or referral-related cookies
Where relevant, cookies may be used in connection with marketing, referrals, promotional links, or measuring the performance of outbound links and campaigns. These may help show whether a visit came from a particular source or whether certain pages or links are performing as expected.
Not every category will necessarily be active at all times, and the specific technologies used may change as the website develops.
Why cookies are used
Cookies may be used for a range of practical reasons connected with website operation and improvement.
These reasons may include:
- Helping the website function properly
- Supporting security and technical stability
- Understanding site traffic and visitor behaviour
- Improving page performance and usability
- Remembering basic user preferences
- Measuring the effectiveness of content, links, or campaigns
- Identifying technical issues and improving navigation
Cookies can be useful because they help website operators understand what is working well and where improvements may be needed. For example, analytics-related cookies may show whether visitors are finding relevant pages, whether certain content is being used, or whether users leave the site quickly from a particular section.
For a UK-facing site, cookie use should also be understood in light of applicable privacy and data protection rules, especially where non-essential cookies may require user awareness or consent.
Managing cookies
Most web browsers allow users to manage cookies through their settings. This means you can usually choose to accept cookies, block some or all cookies, delete stored cookies, or receive alerts when cookies are being placed.
The exact steps depend on the browser you use, but cookie controls are usually available through the privacy or settings section of your browser.
Please note that restricting or disabling certain cookies may affect how the website works. Some pages or functions may not display properly, and some features may become less reliable or less convenient.
If cookie controls or consent tools are made available on the website, users may also be able to manage certain preferences directly through those tools. Even where such tools are available, browser-based controls remain an additional option.
Because browser settings apply at device or browser level, you may need to repeat your choices if you use multiple devices or browsers.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies used on the website may be set by third-party services rather than directly by BBWHookup.co.uk.
Third-party cookies may arise where we use external tools or services for purposes such as:
- Website analytics
- Traffic measurement
- Content delivery
- Referral tracking
- Marketing or campaign performance
- Embedded content or related technical services
These third parties may collect or process information in accordance with their own privacy and cookie practices. We do not control the independent policies of third-party providers, and their use of cookies may be subject to their own terms and notices.
Where third-party services are used, visitors should be aware that data relating to browsing activity, device information, or referral behaviour may be processed by those providers for their own operational purposes.
We encourage users to review the policies of relevant third-party services where they want more detailed information about how those providers use cookies and similar technologies.
