Cookie Policy
Last updated: 1 July 2026
This policy explains how Brighthaven Digital Ltd uses cookies and similar technologies on brighthaven-digital.com. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy. We set non-essential cookies only where you have given consent, in line with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 and the UK GDPR.
1. What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. It allows the site to remember your actions and preferences over time. We also use comparable technologies such as pixels, local storage entries and software development kits; where this policy refers to cookies, it covers those technologies too.
First-party cookies are set by us. Third-party cookies are set by another organisation whose service appears on our pages. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain for a defined period.
2. Categories we use

Required for the website to operate securely. These do not require consent because the site cannot function without them.

| bh_session | First party | Maintains your session and protects forms against cross-site request forgery | Session |

| VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE | YouTube | Remembers playback preferences for embedded video | 6 months |
Cookie names and durations are set by the providers and may change without notice. We review this table quarterly.
3. Managing your consent
When you first visit the site you are asked to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Rejecting them will not affect your ability to use any part of the site. You can change your choice at any time by clearing this site's cookies in your browser and reloading the page, which will present the banner again.
You can also control cookies in your browser settings. Guidance is available for Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge. Blocking all cookies may prevent parts of many websites from working correctly.
You can opt out of Google Analytics measurement across all websites using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
4. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
There is no settled industry standard for responding to browser "Do Not Track" headers, so we do not rely on them. We do honour the Global Privacy Control signal where our consent platform detects it, treating it as a rejection of non-essential cookies.
5. Changes to this policy
We update this policy when we add, remove or change the technologies we use. The date at the top of the page reflects the latest revision.
