About this policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Bugg Collective uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at buggcollective.co.uk. Bugg Collective is the trading name of Tiffany Chase, a sole trader based in England, United Kingdom.

We use cookies to help our website function, understand how visitors use it and improve your browsing experience. We respect your privacy and aim to give you clear choices about how non essential cookies are used. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They can help a website remember your preferences, operate correctly and understand how visitors interact with its pages. We may also use similar technologies that store information on, or access information from, your device. Cookies may be set by us directly or by third party services integrated into our website.

What types of cookies do we use?

The cookies and similar technologies used on our website may fall into the following categories.

Essential cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly, maintain security and provide services you request. They may support core website functionality and remember your cookie preferences. Essential cookies cannot generally be disabled through our cookie banner because the website may not function correctly without them.

Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website, including which pages are visited and how people navigate between them. This information can help us assess website performance and improve our content. Where analytics cookies require consent, including Google Analytics cookies if used on our website, they will only be enabled after you have given the relevant permission.

Functionality and preference cookies

These cookies may remember choices you make, such as your cookie preferences, to provide a more consistent experience when you return to our website. Where these cookies are not strictly necessary, we will seek your consent before using them.

Third party cookies

Some features or services incorporated into our website may be provided by third parties. Depending on the services used, these providers may place cookies or use similar technologies on your device. Third party services may include website analytics, embedded content or other website integrations. Their use will depend on the features currently active on our website. Where required, we will obtain your consent before allowing non essential third party cookies or similar technologies to operate.

How do we obtain your consent?

When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie banner that allows you to accept cookies, decline non essential cookies or manage your preferences. Our cookie banner is configured to restrict non essential cookies until the appropriate consent has been given.

You can use the available options to:

• Accept cookies.

• Decline non essential cookies.

• Manage your cookie preferences.

Essential cookies may still operate where necessary for the website to function. Your choices will be handled through our website's cookie consent settings.

How can you change or withdraw your consent?

You can revisit your choices at any time using the Cookie Preferences option available on our website. You can use this option to change your preferences or withdraw consent for non essential cookies. You can also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Please be aware that blocking essential cookies may affect how some parts of the website function.

Changing your browser settings does not necessarily withdraw consent previously given through our website, so we recommend using the Cookie Preferences option where available.

How long do cookies remain on your device?

Some cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. These are known as session cookies. Other cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. These are known as persistent cookies. The duration of individual cookies depends on their purpose and the service that sets them. We aim to ensure that cookies are retained only for an appropriate period.

How do we use information collected through cookies?

Information collected through cookies may help us:

• Keep our website working securely and reliably.

• Remember your cookie preferences.

• Understand how visitors interact with our website, where analytics have been enabled with the appropriate consent.

• Improve the content, usability and performance of our website.

Where cookie information constitutes personal data, we will handle it in accordance with applicable data protection legislation and the information set out in our Privacy Policy.

Third party privacy policies

Where third party services are used on our website, those providers may process information in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review the relevant policies of any third party services you interact with.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website, the technologies we use or applicable legal requirements. Any updates will be published on this page, together with the revised date.
