Cookie Policy
Last updated: 10 June 2025
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember certain information about your visit — such as your preference settings or whether you have previously acknowledged a notice — so that the site functions correctly and your experience is consistent across visits.
Similar technologies, such as local storage and session storage, work in comparable ways and are also covered by this policy.
2. How Bequest Uses Cookies
We use cookies for two purposes:
- Essential site functionality: cookies that allow the website to operate correctly, such as remembering that you have acknowledged our cookie notice so it is not shown on every page.
- Anonymised analytics: cookies that help us understand, in aggregate, how visitors find and use our website — for example, which pages are visited most frequently. No personally identifiable information is collected through these cookies.
We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting cookies, or social media tracking cookies of any kind.
3. Cookies We Set
| Cookie name | Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
bequest_cookie_consent |
Essential | 12 months | Stores your acknowledgement of the cookie notice so it is not displayed on subsequent visits. |
_ga |
Analytics | 24 months | Google Analytics — distinguishes unique visitors using an anonymised identifier. No personal data is collected. |
_ga_* |
Analytics | 24 months | Google Analytics — maintains session state for anonymised analytics reporting. |
_gid |
Analytics | 24 hours | Google Analytics — identifies a browser session for anonymised visit counting. |
The bequest_cookie_consent cookie is essential and cannot be declined without affecting the operation of the notice system. Analytics cookies are set only after you acknowledge our cookie notice.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Our website uses Google Analytics to measure anonymised traffic. Google may set the cookies listed above in accordance with their own privacy and data retention policies. We have configured Google Analytics with IP anonymisation enabled, meaning no full IP addresses are stored.
We do not allow any other third-party organisations to set cookies on our website. The map embedded on our homepage is loaded in a privacy-preserving manner that does not require cookies.
5. Your Cookie Choices
You have several ways to manage cookies:
- Browser settings: most browsers allow you to view, block, and delete cookies. Instructions vary by browser — consult your browser's help documentation for details. Note that blocking all cookies may affect the function of some websites.
- Google Analytics opt-out: you can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visit by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Do Not Track: some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" signal. Our website respects this signal where it is technically feasible to do so.
Declining analytics cookies does not affect your ability to use our website or to contact us. Only the cookie acknowledgement function relies on the essential cookie listed above.
6. Cookies and Personal Data
The analytics cookies we use collect only anonymised, aggregated data. They do not identify you as an individual and are not linked to any personal data you may submit through our contact form.
If you submit a contact form, your personal data is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which governs all personal data we collect and process.
7. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time — for example, if we add or change the tools we use on our website. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
