This policy explains what cookies are, which cookies our websites use, and how you can control them. It applies to bluemonkee.com and our client portal at client.bluemonkee.com, and forms part of our Privacy Policy at https://bluemonkee.com/privacy-policy/.

1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to provide site owners with information about how their site is used. Similar technologies (such as local storage and pixels) are covered by this policy in the same way.
2. How we ask for your consent
When you first visit bluemonkee.com, a cookie banner (powered by Complianz) lets you accept all cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or customise your choices by category. Only strictly necessary cookies are set before you make a choice. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the “Manage consent” link on our website, and your updated preferences will apply from that point on. Rejecting non-essential cookies will not prevent you from using the website.
3. The cookies we use
We keep our use of cookies deliberately minimal. The categories below match the choices in our cookie banner.
Strictly necessary cookies
These are required for our websites to function and cannot be switched off. They include the cookies that record your consent preferences, session cookies that keep you logged in to the client portal, and cookies that remember your shopping basket while ordering. They are not used for any other purpose.
Consent management (Complianz). Our consent tool sets a small number of first-party cookies (and equivalent local storage entries) solely to record and respect your cookie choices. This data is not shared with third parties.

Functional cookies
We do not currently set functional cookies beyond those listed as strictly necessary. If a page includes embedded third-party content (for example an embedded video or map), the provider of that content may seek to set its own cookies, subject to your consent choices — see section 4.
Analytical cookies
With your consent, we use Google Analytics on bluemonkee.com to understand how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are visited and for how long — so that we can improve the site. This information is aggregated and is not used to identify you.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|

Google Analytics (via bluemonkee.com) | Distinguishes one visitor from another using a randomly generated identifier | 2 years |
_ga_* (followed by our measurement ID) |

For more information about how Google processes data, see Google’s privacy documentation at https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies.
Advertising cookies
With your consent, we use the Meta (Facebook) Pixel on bluemonkee.com to measure the effectiveness of our own advertising and to reach people who have shown an interest in our services. These cookies are set only if you accept marketing cookies in our banner.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_fbp |
Meta (via bluemonkee.com) | Distinguishes one browser from another to measure and improve our advertising | 3 months |
_fbc |
Meta (via bluemonkee.com) | Stores the identifier of the Meta advert that brought you to our website | 3 months |
When the Pixel is active, Meta Platforms may also set or read its own third-party cookies (such as fr) on the facebook.com domain, governed by Meta’s cookie policy at https://www.facebook.com/policies/cookies/. We do not use any other advertising or behavioural targeting cookies on our websites.
4. Third-party cookies
Some pages may include embedded content from third parties (for example, embedded videos, maps or payment forms during checkout). These providers may set their own cookies when you interact with their content. Where these are not strictly necessary, they are subject to your consent choices. We do not control these cookies, and you should refer to the relevant provider’s own privacy and cookie policies for details.
5. Managing cookies in your browser
In addition to our cookie banner, you can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Browser help pages explain how to block or delete cookies. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how our websites function — in particular, the client portal cannot keep you logged in without its session cookie.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time, for example if the cookies used on our websites change. The current version will always be available on this page.
