Cookie Policy

Cookies Explained

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They serve a variety of functions, from keeping you logged in to helping website operators understand how their site is used. Cookies set by the website you're visiting are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by other organizations, such as analytics providers or advertising networks, are called third-party cookies. Both types may be used on this site depending on your consent choices.

Similar technologies include web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage. These work in comparable ways to cookies and may be used alongside them. When we refer to "cookies" in this policy, we generally mean all of these technologies collectively unless we specify otherwise.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for several distinct purposes, organized into the categories described below. Essential cookies are always active because the site cannot function without them. All other categories are optional and require your consent before they are set.

Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to operate. They enable core functions such as page navigation, security features, and your cookie preference settings. Without these cookies, the site cannot function properly, and they cannot be switched off. They do not collect information that could be used for marketing or to remember where you have been on the internet.

The cookie preference record itself is stored as an essential cookie under the name bhi_consent. This cookie stores your consent choices so that we don't repeatedly ask you the same questions and so that your preferences are respected throughout your visit and on future visits.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting information about which pages are visited, how long visitors spend on each page, and how they arrived at the site. This information is used in aggregate form to improve the site's structure and content. Analytics cookies do not identify you personally. They may be set by us directly or by third-party analytics services. These cookies are only set if you have given your consent through our cookie preference tool.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies may be used to track visitors across websites and display relevant advertising. These cookies are typically set by advertising networks and may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. Marketing cookies are only set if you have explicitly consented to them through our preference tool. If you do not consent, you will not be tracked for advertising purposes through this site.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can review and change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the shield icon in the bottom-right corner of any page on this site. This will open the cookie preference panel where you can enable or disable analytics and marketing cookies. Your preferences are stored in the bhi_consent cookie and will be remembered for future visits.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies from specific websites or from all websites. Note that blocking all cookies will affect the functionality of many websites, including this one. Instructions for managing cookies in common browsers are available through each browser's help documentation.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. We acknowledge DNT signals and, where we have the technical ability to do so, we honor them by not enabling non-essential tracking on your visit. Our cookie consent mechanism provides a more granular and reliable way to express your preferences.

Legal Basis for Cookie Use

Our use of essential cookies is based on our legitimate interest in operating a functional website and on the necessity of these cookies to provide the service you have requested. Our use of analytics and marketing cookies is based on your consent, which you provide through our cookie preference tool. You may withdraw consent at any time by updating your preferences. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this page regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies. The date at the top of this page indicates when it was last updated.
