Cookie Policy

Last updated: [add date]

This Cookie Policy explains how BURECHO uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which sets out how we handle personal data more broadly.

This template is provided as a starting point. Review and adapt it with qualified legal counsel for the laws of the jurisdictions you operate in (e.g. UK GDPR, EU GDPR/ePrivacy, CCPA).

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, phone) when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device, remember your preferences, and understand how you use the site. We also use similar technologies — such as pixels, local storage, and SDKs — which we'll refer to collectively as "cookies" throughout this policy.

Some cookies are session cookies, which disappear when you close your browser. Others are persistent cookies, which stay on your device until they expire or you delete them.

2. Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies to:

Keep you signed in and remember items in your basket.
Remember preferences such as language, currency, and region.
Keep our site and your account secure (e.g. fraud and bot detection).
Understand how our site is used so we can improve it.
Show relevant content and (with your consent) personalised advertising.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary

These cookies are essential for the site to function. They enable core features like logging in, adding items to your basket, completing checkout, and protecting against fraud. Without them, parts of the site won't work. You can't opt out of strictly necessary cookies, but you can block them via your browser — be aware that doing so will likely break the site.

Examples: session ID, CSRF token, load-balancer affinity, basket contents.

Functional

These cookies let the site remember choices you make — your preferred language, currency, region, or accessibility settings — so you don't have to set them on every visit. Blocking these won't prevent you using the site, but it'll be less personalised.

Examples: locale preference, currency selector, "remember me" on login, dismissed banners.

Analytics

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the site — which pages are popular, where people drop off, how fast pages load. We use this data in aggregate to improve the experience. Where required by law, we only set these cookies after you give consent.

Examples: page-view counters, session-duration tracking, error and performance monitoring.

Marketing & Advertising

These cookies are set by us or our advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show relevant ads on this site and elsewhere. They also help us measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. We only set these cookies if you give consent.

Examples: ad-targeting pixels, retargeting tags, conversion tracking, affiliate-attribution cookies.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party services we use to run our business. These providers may collect data about your visit and combine it with other information they hold. Typical third parties include:

Analytics providers — to measure traffic and performance.
Payment processors — to handle card payments and fraud screening at checkout.
Chat and support tools — to power live chat and help widgets.
Advertising and remarketing networks — to show you relevant ads on other sites.
Social networks — for embedded videos, share buttons, and login integrations.
Content delivery and security networks — to deliver the site quickly and protect against attacks.

Each third party is governed by its own privacy and cookie policies — we recommend reviewing them if you'd like more detail.

5. How Long Cookies Last

Category	Typical Lifetime
Strictly necessary (session)	Until you close your browser
Strictly necessary (persistent)	Up to 12 months
Functional	Up to 12 months
Analytics	Up to 24 months
Marketing & advertising	Up to 13 months (resets on activity)

The exact lifetime of each cookie is shown in the consent panel under "Manage preferences".

6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several ways to control cookies on BURECHO:

Through Our Cookie Banner

The first time you visit, you'll see a cookie banner letting you accept, reject, or customise non-essential cookies. You can change your choice at any time via the "Cookie settings" link in the footer.

Through Your Browser

Most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies through their settings. Each browser does it slightly differently:

Disabling all cookies will affect how the site works, especially around login, basket, and checkout.

Through Mobile Devices

If you're on a mobile device, you can also reset your advertising identifier through your device settings to limit ad personalisation across apps.

7. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting. There's no industry-agreed standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, so we don't currently react to them. You can still control tracking on our site through the cookie preferences described above.

8. Children's Privacy

BURECHO is not directed at children. We do not knowingly use cookies to collect information from anyone under the age of [16]. If you believe a child has used our site, please contact us and we'll remove any associated data.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as the cookies we use change. The "last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be highlighted on this page and, where appropriate, communicated through the cookie banner.
