1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Local storage is a similar browser mechanism. UK law (the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003, PECR) covers both. This policy explains what our website (bretalon.com) stores on your device and why. Please read it alongside our Privacy Policy.
2. What We Set
Ordinary visitors: if you read our reports and pages, we set no cookies and store nothing on your device.
People who log in to manage the site: WordPress sets the cookies below only for our own staff and contractors who sign in to the administration area.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| wordpress_sec_* | Authentication for logged-in users | Session | First-party (WordPress) |
| wordpress_logged_in_* | Identifies logged-in users | Session | First-party (WordPress) |
| wordpress_test_cookie | Checks that the login page can set cookies | Session | First-party (WordPress) |
| wp-settings-* | Stores administration screen preferences | 1 year | First-party (WordPress) |
Staff preview links: if you open a design preview link (one ending in ?design=), a bretalon_design cookie remembers that choice for 2 hours.
3. What We Do Not Use
- We do not use analytics cookies (such as Google Analytics)
- We do not use advertising or marketing cookies
- We do not use third-party tracking pixels or tags
- We do not use social media tracking cookies
- We do not share cookie data with advertisers or data brokers
4. Your Choices
Because ordinary visitors receive no cookies, we do not show a cookie banner. You can still view and delete cookies through your browser settings:
- Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies
- Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Settings > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings > Cookies and Site Permissions
5. Legal Basis
The cookies above are strictly necessary for a service the user has asked for (signing in, or a preview they opened), so they are exempt from consent under PECR regulation 6(4). If we ever introduce analytics or other non-essential cookies, we will update this policy and ask for consent before setting them.
6. Updates
We update this policy whenever what we store on your device changes. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when it was last revised.
