Cookies that expire at the end of a browser session (normally when you exit your browser) are called ‘session cookies’. Cookies that can be stored for longer are called ‘persistent cookies’. Session cookies allow websites to recognise and link your actions during a browsing session. We use them for understanding more about how you navigate around our website so that we can improve it. Session cookies are also used for security purposes. These session cookies expire after a session ends, so would not be stored beyond this and are less privacy-intrusive than persistent cookies. Persistent cookies are stored on your device in-between sessions. They allow your preferences or actions across a site (or across different websites) to be remembered. Persistent cookies are used for a variety of purposes including remembering your preferences and choices when using a site. The length of time between a cookie being set and expiry is set by us. You can also delete previously set persistent cookies manually or configure the browser settings to delete cookies at a set interval. Whether a cookie is ‘first’ or ‘third’ party refers to the website or domain placing the cookie. First-party cookies are set directly by our website when you visit it, ie the www.bv-group.com displayed in your browser’s address bar. Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting. This typically occurs when the website incorporates elements from other sites, such as images like Vimeo. When your browser or other software fetches these elements from the other sites, they can set cookies as well.
