2. What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit.
We may also use similar technologies, including:
- local storage and other browser storage;
- tracking pixels or web beacons;
- scripts, tags and software development kits;
- device or browser identifiers;
- link decoration or similar measurement technologies; and
- technologies used to remember your preferences or obtain statistical information about website use.
In this notice, we refer to all of these technologies collectively as "cookies", unless a distinction is necessary.
3. How we use cookies
We may use cookies for the following purposes:
- Strictly necessary operation — to make the website function, maintain security, process form submissions or remember cookie preferences.
- Performance and statistical analysis — to understand how visitors use the website and improve its content, design and performance.
- Functionality and preferences — to remember choices you make and provide enhanced features.
- Marketing and advertising — to measure campaigns, personalise content or display relevant advertising, where applicable.
- Third-party content — to support embedded content, such as video, maps, scheduling tools or social media features, where applicable.
The website currently uses PostHog as its analytics provider. The precise cookies and similar technologies used on the website will depend on the website platform, hosting arrangements, consent-management platform and any third-party services enabled from time to time.
4. Cookie categories and consent
4.1 Strictly necessary cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are required for the website or a service requested by you to operate. They may include cookies used for:
- website security;
- load balancing;
- form functionality;
- maintaining a session;
- remembering your cookie preferences; and
- preventing fraud or abuse.
These cookies do not normally require consent under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 ("PECR") where they are genuinely necessary for the service you have requested or for the operation of the website.
Strictly necessary cookies must not be used for additional purposes, such as advertising or non-essential tracking, without the appropriate consent.
4.2 Analytics and performance cookies
Analytics and performance cookies help us understand how visitors use the website, for example which pages are visited, how long visitors remain on pages and whether users encounter errors.
Unless a specific legal exception applies and all conditions for that exception are met, these cookies will only be set after you have given consent through the cookie banner or preference centre.
Any analytics exception under PECR is narrow. It does not automatically apply to all analytics services, individual tracking, advertising-related measurement, profiling or data sharing with third parties. We will therefore treat analytics cookies as requiring consent unless our documented assessment confirms that an applicable exception is available.
4.3 Functionality and preference cookies
Functionality and preference cookies may remember settings such as language, display or other choices made by you.
These cookies will only be used without consent where a relevant PECR exception applies and the technology is used solely for that exempt purpose. Otherwise, they will be treated as non-essential cookies and will only be set after consent.
4.4 Marketing and third-party cookies
Marketing, advertising and certain third-party cookies may be used to:
- measure marketing campaigns;
- track visits across websites;
- create or infer interests;
- personalise content or advertising; or
- allow third parties to collect information through embedded services.
These cookies require consent before they are set or accessed. If you reject them, certain third-party features may not be available.
5. Cookies and similar technologies used on this website
This section reflects an audit of the website completed on 27 September 2026.
The website runs one analytics technology: PostHog. PostHog is provided by PostHog Inc. and is used to understand how visitors use the website, including which pages are viewed and how visitors interact with them. PostHog sets a persistent identifier in your browser and uses cookies and similar browser storage to recognise returning visits and to record pageviews and interaction events. Because this technology is used for analytics and measurement, it is not strictly necessary and requires your consent under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 ("PECR").
The website does not run advertising, marketing or cross-site tracking technologies, and does not include embedded media, embedded maps, chat widgets, social media embeds or tag managers.
The table below records the position.
| Category | Cookie or technology name | Provider | Purpose | Type | Typical duration | Consent required? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Analytics / performance | PostHog browser identifier and analytics storage (for example the PostHog distinct ID, stored in a first-party cookie and browser local storage) | PostHog Inc. (United States) | Understanding how visitors use the website: pageviews, session and interaction events | Persistent, with session identifiers | Up to 12 months for the persistent identifier; session identifiers last for the session | Yes — consent required under PECR |
| Strictly necessary | None currently set | — | Form submissions are processed server-side and do not require a browser cookie | — | — | Not applicable |
| Functionality / preferences | None currently set | — | No preference cookies are currently set | — | — | Not applicable |
| Marketing / advertising | None currently set | — | No marketing or advertising technologies are used on this website. | — | — | Not applicable |
| Third-party content | None currently set | — | No embedded video, maps, scheduling tools or social media embeds are used on this website. | — | — | Not applicable |
Because analytics storage and cookies are used, your consent is required before they are set or accessed, and a cookie banner is used on the website to obtain and record that consent. You can refuse analytics and the website will still work. If you refuse, PostHog will not set its identifier or record your visit.
Analytics data is processed by PostHog Inc. in the United States, which means your information is transferred outside the United Kingdom. We rely on appropriate safeguards for that transfer, as described in section 10 below and in our Privacy Notice.
If any further analytics or third-party technology is enabled in future, this notice will be updated before it goes live and a consent mechanism will be in place before any non-essential technology is set or accessed.
6. Consent and managing your choices
Analytics cookies and similar technologies are used on this website, and non-essential technologies are only set or accessed after you have given consent. Where a consent mechanism is introduced in future, and for the analytics technology described above, the following principles apply.
A cookie banner or preference centre allows you to:
- accept all non-essential cookies;
- reject all non-essential cookies; and
- select or manage cookie categories separately.
Non-essential cookies and similar technologies will not be set or accessed unless and until you have given consent, unless a specific PECR exception applies.
Consent must be freely given, specific, informed and expressed through a clear positive action. Pre-ticked boxes, implied consent from simply browsing the website and consent bundled into acceptance of unrelated terms are not used.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time, and withdrawal is as easy as giving consent.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before withdrawal. If you withdraw consent, analytics will stop; the rest of the website will continue to work normally.
To withdraw consent or change your preferences, contact us at info@bhd-limited.co.uk and we will action your request.
7. How to manage cookies through your browser
You can also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. The process differs between browsers. Guidance is generally available through the browser's help menu or support website.
Common browser providers include:
- Google Chrome;
- Microsoft Edge;
- Mozilla Firefox;
- Apple Safari; and
- Opera.
You may be able to block all cookies, delete existing cookies or receive a warning before a cookie is placed. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect the operation, security or functionality of parts of the website.
Browser-based controls may not automatically withdraw consent recorded through a consent-management platform. Where a consent mechanism is in place, you should use the cookie settings link on the website to withdraw consent properly.
8. Legal basis
8.1 PECR
The use of cookies and similar technologies is governed primarily by regulation 6 of PECR.
We may use storage or access technologies without consent only where:
- they are strictly necessary to provide a service you have requested; or
- another specific and applicable legal exception applies and all relevant conditions are satisfied.
For non-essential cookies, including most analytics, marketing and advertising cookies, we will obtain consent before setting or accessing them.
8.2 UK GDPR
Where cookies or similar technologies involve personal data, the UK General Data Protection Regulation ("UK GDPR") and the Data Protection Act 2018 may also apply.
Where consent is required under PECR, we will generally rely on your consent as the UK GDPR lawful basis for the related processing of personal data. Consent must meet the UK GDPR requirements, including being freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous, and capable of being withdrawn.
For strictly necessary technologies, the associated processing of personal data may rely on another appropriate UK GDPR lawful basis, such as:
- performance of a contract or steps requested by you;
- compliance with a legal obligation; or
- our legitimate interests in operating, securing and maintaining the website, where those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.
The appropriate lawful basis will depend on the specific technology and processing activity. Further information is provided in our Privacy Notice.
9. Third-party providers
PostHog Inc. currently places or accesses analytics cookies and similar browser storage through this website. PostHog provides the website's analytics technology and processes pageviews, session and interaction events. The website does not currently use third-party advertising, embedded content, scheduling or social media providers that place or access cookies or similar technologies.
This notice identifies for each provider:
- the provider's role;
- the purpose for which the technology is used;
- whether the provider acts on our instructions or for its own purposes;
- the applicable retention period; and
- any relevant international data transfer arrangements.
Third-party privacy information may also apply. You should review the relevant provider's privacy and cookie information where appropriate.
10. International transfers
Some third-party providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs, BHD Limited will take the steps required by applicable data protection law, which may include using an adequacy regulation, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement, the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or another lawful transfer mechanism.
PostHog Inc. processes analytics data in the United States, so analytics data is transferred outside the United Kingdom. We rely on appropriate safeguards under the UK GDPR for this transfer, including the UK International Data Transfer Agreement, the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or another lawful transfer mechanism where applicable. Details of the provider and transfer arrangements are included in our Privacy Notice.
