Cookie Policy
What this page covers
This site uses local browser storage (localStorage/sessionStorage) rather than traditional tracking cookies for its own functionality, and — only if you consent — Google Analytics 4, which does set cookies. Nothing non-essential runs before you actively choose to allow it, and you can change your choice at any time using "Cookie settings" in the footer.
How consent works here
When you first visit, a banner offers three equal-weight choices: Accept all, Reject all, and Preferences (where you can switch Analytics on or off individually). No box is pre-ticked, and nothing beyond essential storage runs until you choose. Your choice is stored on this device for 12 months.
Essential storage (always on)
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
bt.consent.v1 | localStorage | Stores your cookie/consent choices | 12 months |
bt.cart.v1 | localStorage | Stores the contents of your shopping cart | Until you clear it or empty your cart |
bt.orders.v1 | localStorage | Stores a local record of orders placed in this browser | Persistent until you clear it |
bt.checkout.v1 | sessionStorage | Keeps your place in the checkout flow if you reload the page | Ends when you close the browser tab |
bt.locale.v1 | localStorage | Remembers your language preference | 12 months |
Non-essential storage (only after you consent)
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Cookie (Google Analytics 4) | Distinguishes visitors, for aggregated traffic statistics | Up to 2 years |
_ga_<container-id> | Cookie (Google Analytics 4) | Persists session state for Google Analytics 4 | Up to 2 years |
Google Analytics 4 is provided by Google Ireland Limited and is only loaded onto this site after you actively opt in. See our Privacy Policy for the legal basis and retention detail.
