What are cookies?
Cookies are small files that a website stores on your device to remember things between visits, such as your preferences or whether you have signed in. We also use similar technologies, such as your browser's local storage, which works in a comparable way. In this policy we refer to all of these as "cookies".
The cookies we use
We keep our use of cookies to a minimum. This website uses:
- Cookie preferences (strictly necessary). When you make a choice in our cookie banner, we save that choice in your browser's local storage so that we can respect it on future visits. This does not identify you and is not shared with anyone.
- Google reCAPTCHA (strictly necessary). Our contact form uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect it from spam and abuse. When it runs, Google may set cookies and collect device and usage information. This is governed by Google's own privacy policy and terms of service.
- Analytics (only with your consent). We do not currently set any analytics cookies. If we introduce analytics in future to understand how the site is used, those cookies will only run where you have given your consent through the cookie banner, and this policy will be updated to describe them.
What we do not do
We do not use cookies for advertising, and we do not sell or share cookie data with third parties for marketing purposes.
Other Bondsmith services
If you sign in to a Bondsmith account, that service runs on a separate platform which uses its own cookies, for example to keep you securely signed in. Those are described when you use that service.
Managing your cookie preferences
You can change your choices at any time using the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of this website. You can also use your browser's settings to delete cookies that have already been set and to block new ones; the help pages of your browser explain how. Rejecting non-essential cookies does not affect how this website works.

For details of how we handle personal data more generally, see our Privacy Notice. If you have any questions about this policy, contact our Data Protection Officer at dpo@bondsmith.co.uk.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time, for example if the cookies we use change. The date at the top shows when it was last updated.
