What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website saves on your device. We also use similar technology, such as your browser's local storage, to remember your cookie choice. In this policy, "cookies" covers both.
Your consent
Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR, we only set cookies that aren't strictly necessary once you've said yes. When you first visit, a banner lets you:
- Accept all cookies;
- Reject non-essential cookies, which is just as easy as accepting; or
- Manage your choice for each category.
Rejecting cookies doesn't stop you using any part of the directory. We store your choice for 12 months and then ask again. You can change it any time with the "Cookie settings" link in the footer or the button at the top of this page.
Cookies we use
| Name | Category | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
be_cookie_consent_v1 | Strictly necessary | Remembers your cookie choices so we don't ask on every page | 12 months |
| Hosting security cookies | Strictly necessary | Protects the site from abuse and balances traffic | Session |
Analytics cookies (e.g. _ga) | Analytics, consent only | Counts visits and shows which pages are useful, using aggregated data | Up to 13 months |
Marketing pixels (e.g. _fbp) | Marketing, consent only | Measures whether our social and ad campaigns bring people to the site | Up to 3 months |
We'll update this table whenever we add or remove a cookie.
Third parties
Our fonts load from Google Fonts. When a listing links to a business's own ordering app, including apps provided by Bizzy Apps Pro, that site sets its own cookies under its own policy.
Managing cookies in your browser
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Guidance for each browser is at ico.org.uk. Blocking strictly necessary cookies means we can't remember your choice, so the banner will appear again.
