Cookie Policy
Which cookies and similar technologies Brielgio uses, and how you control them. Last updated 24 October 2026.
About this policy
This policy explains how Brielgio uses cookies and similar technologies, such as your browser’s local storage, on this website. It follows the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), the EU ePrivacy Directive and data protection law. For how we handle personal information generally, see our Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small files that a website stores on your device. Local storage works in a similar way. We only use what we need, and anything that isn’t essential is off until you say yes.
Your choices
When you first visit, a banner asks whether you’re happy for us to use analytics. Choose Accept, or Configure to decide for yourself: there you can accept all, reject all, or switch analytics on or off. Rejecting is just as easy, and it doesn’t affect how the website works.
You can change your mind at any time:
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a choice to switch off analytics cookies.
Necessary (always on)
These make the website work and remember the choices you make. They don’t track you and they’re never used for advertising.

Analytics (only with your consent)
Analytics cookies tell us how people use the website, so we can improve it. They’re only set if you accept them, and until you do, Google Analytics doesn’t measure your visit at all.
We don’t use any analytics tools at the moment. If we add one, we’ll list it here and ask for your consent first.
| Tool | Cookies | Purpose | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics | _ga, _ga_<ID> | Measures visits and pages viewed | Up to 2 years |

Marketing and social media
We don’t use marketing or advertising cookies, and we don’t embed social media feeds or tracking pixels. Our social media icons are plain links. If you follow them, the social network’s own cookie policy applies.
Changes to this policy
If we add a new tool or change how we use cookies, we’ll update this page and ask for your consent again where needed.
