What this page covers

  • What cookies and similar technologies are, in plain language.
  • Which categories Biskovia uses and what each one does.
  • Where third-party providers fit into the picture.
  • How to control or clear cookies in your own browser.

Six sections, one page. No account is needed to read it or to change your choices.

Section one

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information between page loads, such as your preferences or session state. A cookie on its own does not identify you by name; it is a label your browser stores and sends back on the next request.

Similar technologies, including local storage and pixels, serve comparable purposes and are covered by this policy in the same way. Local storage keeps a small amount of data in your browser without an expiry date attached; a pixel is a tiny request that reports that a page or message was opened. Where this policy says cookie, read it as covering those technologies too.

Two properties matter when you decide what to keep. First, duration: a session cookie is discarded when you close the browser, while a persistent cookie stays for the period set when it was created. Second, origin: a first-party cookie is set by the site you are visiting, and a third-party cookie is set by another domain whose service is loaded on the page.

Categories we use

We use functional cookies that are necessary for the site to work correctly, such as remembering your session and form state. We use analytics cookies to understand which pages are visited and how visitors move through the site. Where required, non-essential cookies are set only after you consent through the cookie notice.

Functional Keeps your session alive, remembers form state, and supports basic security checks while you browse. Always on
Analytics Shows which pages are viewed and how long visitors stay, so weak pages can be corrected. Optional
Third-party Set by hosting and measurement providers whose services load on pages you open. Optional

Analytics and third-party cookies are optional: declining them does not block access to any page or document on this site. Functional cookies have no consent switch because the site cannot hold a session without them.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies support core site behavior. They may record your cookie preferences, maintain a session while you complete a form, and help with basic security. These cookies do not track you across other websites, and disabling them can affect how parts of the site function. They are typically set in response to your actions on the site.

In practice, that means a page can keep your place while you move between sections, and a form will not lose what you typed if you step away for a few minutes. Because these cookies carry no advertising purpose, there is no profile to build from them.

Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies collect aggregated information about how visitors use the site, such as which pages are viewed and how long visitors stay. This data helps us identify pages that need improvement or correction. Where we use third-party analytics, that provider processes data on our behalf under its own terms. You can opt out of analytics cookies without losing access to site content.

Reports are read in aggregate. We look at which guide pages hold attention, where readers leave, and which links between pages are used, then revise the page that caused the drop-off rather than tracking individuals.

Third-party cookies

Some cookies may be set by third parties whose services we use, such as hosting or analytics providers. We do not control the full set of cookies those providers may set on their own domains. Review their policies if you want detail on their practices. We limit third-party services to those needed for site operation and measurement.

Managing cookies in your browser

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block cookies entirely, block third-party cookies, or clear stored cookies after a session. Blocking functional cookies may prevent parts of the site from working as intended. Browser help pages explain the specific steps for each major browser.

What you can do
Each row below is a setting your browser already offers. None of them require an account on this site.
Block all cookies
Stops the site from storing preferences or session state. Pages will load, but forms and repeated visits may behave differently.
Block third-party cookies
Keeps first-party session behavior while limiting cookies set by other domains loaded on the page.
Clear stored cookies
Removes cookies already saved, including your cookie preferences. You will be asked again on your next visit.
Private or incognito mode
Discards cookies when the window closes, which is useful for a one-off visit on a shared device.

If a page on this site stops behaving as expected after you change these settings, restoring cookies for biskovia.com is usually enough to fix it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy if our use of cookies changes or if legal requirements shift. The current version applies from the date it is published on this page. We recommend checking this page periodically if you want to stay informed about how cookies are used on the site.

How will I know if this policy changes?

The date at the top of this page changes when the wording does. There is no separate mailing list for policy updates, so this page is the place to check. If a change affects how consent works, the cookie notice you see on the site will reflect the new wording as well.

Do I have to accept cookies to read this site?

No. Declining analytics and third-party cookies leaves every page readable, including the compliance and filing guides. Only functional cookies are set without a choice, and those exist to keep the site working rather than to profile you.

Where do I ask a question about this policy?

Write to Biskovia using the contact details below, or call the office during business hours. Questions about personal data in general are answered under the Privacy Policy.
