2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, smartphone or other device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognise a device, remember preferences, maintain security, understand how visitors use the site and, where applicable, measure advertising or affiliate referrals.

Some cookies last only for your browsing session and are deleted when you close your browser. Others remain for a defined period or until you delete them. Cookies placed by BLAK BEIGE are called first-party cookies. Cookies placed by another organisation are called third-party cookies.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

4. Analytics and Third-Party Services

Subject to your consent, we may use analytics services such as Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use BLAK BEIGE. Depending on the service and our configuration, these technologies may process information such as:

• Your browser and device type;
• Approximate location derived from your IP address;
• Referring website or campaign;
• Pages viewed and links selected;
• Date, time and duration of a visit; and
• Website performance and diagnostic information.

Third-party providers process information under their own terms and privacy notices. Some providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where applicable, we take appropriate steps to protect personal information as described in our Privacy Policy.

5. Affiliate Links and Referral Tracking

BLAK BEIGE contains affiliate links to travel, accommodation, ticketing, hosting, domain and other business-service providers. An affiliate link may contain a unique referral identifier. If you select one of these links, the merchant or affiliate network may recognise that you arrived from BLAK BEIGE and may use cookies or similar technologies to attribute a booking, purchase, registration or other qualifying action.

Affiliate cookies may be placed after you leave our website and visit a partner’s website. Those cookies are controlled by the relevant merchant or affiliate network, not by BLAK BEIGE. Their retention periods and purposes are governed by their own cookie and privacy policies. We recommend reviewing those policies before making a purchase or providing personal information.

We may receive a commission when you complete a qualifying action through an affiliate link. This generally does not increase the price you pay.

6. How to Control Cookies

Cookie banner and preference centre

When our consent banner is displayed, you can accept or reject non-essential cookies and select your preferred categories. Strictly necessary cookies cannot normally be disabled through the preference centre because they support essential website functions. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the Cookie Settings control displayed on the website.

Browser controls

Most browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking all cookies may affect website functionality and could prevent some pages or services from working as intended. Browser controls apply to the browser and device on which you change them, so you may need to repeat your choices on other devices or browsers.

Withdrawing consent

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal. It may also not automatically remove cookies already stored on your device; you can remove those through your browser settings.

7. Cookie Retention

Cookies may be session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies usually expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until their specified expiry date or until you delete them. We aim to retain cookie-derived information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the stated purpose, subject to legal, security, accounting and reporting requirements.

Third-party cookie durations are determined by the relevant provider and may change. Please consult the provider’s own cookie information for its current retention periods.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes to our website, services, technologies, partners or legal obligations. The revised policy will be published on this page, and the “Last updated” date will be changed. Where required, we will request fresh consent before using newly introduced non-essential cookies.
