Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 25 April 2025 · Effective: 25 April 2025
This policy explains how Brannoch uses cookies on our website at brannoch.sbs, what each cookie category does, and how you can manage your preferences. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They allow the website to remember information about your visit, such as your preferences or whether you have already seen a notice, so you do not have to enter the same information again.
Cookies are set either by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services the website uses (third-party cookies). Both types may be session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use three categories of cookies. Essential cookies are always active. Analytics and preference cookies are only set where you give consent through our cookie banner on the homepage.
Essential Cookies
Always ActiveThese cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly. They cannot be disabled. No personal data is stored beyond what is needed for the site to operate.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| brannoch_cookie_consent | Records whether you have acknowledged the cookie notice, so the banner is not shown again on repeat visits. | 12 months |
| PHPSESSID | Standard PHP session identifier used to maintain session state during your visit. Expires when your browser closes. | Session |
Analytics Cookies
Consent RequiredThese cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website — which pages are visited, how long visitors spend on each page, and how visitors navigate. The data is aggregated and does not identify individual users. We use this information to improve the website.
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique users by assigning a randomly generated client ID. Used to calculate visit, session, and page statistics. | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics | Used to persist session state for Google Analytics 4. | 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics | Distinguishes users for the current 24-hour period. | 24 hours |
Google Analytics is configured with IP anonymisation enabled. We do not share personally identifiable data with Google via analytics cookies.
Preference Cookies
Consent RequiredPreference cookies allow the website to remember choices you have made, such as display settings or language, to personalise your experience on return visits. At this time, Brannoch does not set preference cookies beyond the essential consent record above. This section will be updated if preference cookies are introduced.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Our website embeds a Google Maps iframe on the homepage to display our office location. Google may set cookies in connection with this embed. These cookies are set by Google and are governed by Google's Privacy Policy. Brannoch does not control these cookies.
We do not use advertising cookies, social media tracking cookies, or retargeting cookies of any kind.
4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit our website, a cookie notice is displayed. You can accept or decline analytics and preference cookies at that point. Your choice is recorded for 12 months via the brannoch_cookie_consent cookie.
Withdrawing Consent
To withdraw consent for analytics cookies at any time, you can clear the brannoch_cookie_consent cookie from your browser settings, which will cause the cookie notice to appear again on your next visit. Alternatively, contact us at [email protected] and we will guide you through the process.
Browser-Level Controls
Most browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies directly. The following links lead to guidance for common browsers:
- Google Chrome — Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox — Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Microsoft Edge — Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Cookies and site data
- Safari — Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
Please note that blocking essential cookies may affect how the website functions. Analytics and preference cookies can be blocked without affecting the core experience.
5. Policy Updates
We may update this policy when we change the cookies we use. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We recommend checking this page periodically, particularly if we have notified you of an update.
