Cookie Policy

Last updated: 14 October 2026

1. About this policy
BBK Accounts uses cookies and similar technologies on its website. This Cookie Policy explains what these
technologies are, why they may be used, how you can control them and where to obtain further information. It
should be read alongside our Privacy Policy at https://bbk.ie/privacy-policy/.

2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on a device by a website or service. They may be session cookies, which
expire when a browser session ends, or persistent cookies, which remain for a defined period. Similar
technologies can include local storage, tags and pixels. Some are placed by the website (first-party) and others by
third-party services.

3. Categories of cookies
Strictly necessary: Used only where required for website operation, security or remembering privacy choices.
These do not ordinarily require consent when genuinely necessary, but users must still receive appropriate
information.
Analytics: Used to understand visits and interactions with the website, including aggregated traffic and
engagement reporting. Google Analytics is planned for BBK Accounts. Analytics storage and related
non-essential tracking require prior consent unless a specific applicable exemption can be established.
Functional: Optional features such as embedded content or preferences may use cookies. Their use and
consent requirements depend on their actual purpose and configuration.
Marketing: Advertising or remarketing cookies may be introduced only if BBK decides to deploy relevant tools.
No marketing cookie is confirmed by the information currently supplied. Any such non-essential cookies require
appropriate prior consent.

4. Google Analytics 4
BBK Accounts plans to use Google Analytics 4 (GA4), a website measurement service provided by Google, to
understand how visitors use bbk.ie and improve the website. Depending on the configuration, GA4 may process
information about page views, approximate location, browser/device characteristics, events and online identifiers.
Where GA4 uses non-essential cookies or similar storage, these should not be activated before valid visitor
consent.
Common GA4 cookie names include _ga and _ga_<container-id>. These are examples, not a verified inventory
of cookies on bbk.ie. Their actual presence, purpose and lifetime must be confirmed by a live scan and
configuration review.

5. Google Tag Manager
BBK Accounts plans to use Google Tag Manager (GTM) to manage website tags. GTM is a tag-management
system and does not, by itself, mean a particular analytics or advertising cookie is present. Tags deployed
through GTM may collect data or set cookies depending on how they are configured. Non-essential tags must be
controlled by the website consent mechanism and should not fire before the relevant consent is obtained.

7. Consent and your choices
When you first visit bbk.ie, the website should provide clear choices for accepting or rejecting non-essential
cookies and, where appropriate, selecting categories. Rejecting non-essential cookies should be as
straightforward as accepting them. No pre-ticked options should be used for non-essential consent. Necessary
cookies may remain active where legally exempt from consent.
You should be able to revisit your decision and withdraw consent at any time through a clearly accessible Cookie
Settings link or control on the website. Withdrawal should prevent future non-essential tracking in the relevant
categories; it may not automatically delete cookies already stored on your device.

8. Browser controls
You can also delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may
affect some website functions. Browser settings are an additional control and do not replace the website
obligation to obtain valid consent for non-essential technologies.

9. Third parties and international processing
Google and other service providers may process data in jurisdictions outside the European Economic Area,
depending on their contractual terms and service configuration. Where personal data is transferred internationally,
the applicable transfer mechanism and safeguards must be assessed and described in the Privacy Policy. BBK
Accounts should verify the relevant Google services, settings and contracts before publication.

10. Personal data and your rights
Where cookie-related information is personal data, its processing is subject to the GDPR. Information about
applicable lawful bases, retention, recipients and your data protection rights is provided in the BBK Accounts
Privacy Policy. Questions or requests can be sent to [email protected].

11. Updates to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when the website changes, when new technologies are introduced or when
legal requirements change. The date at the top identifies the latest version. Material changes to non-essential
tracking may require fresh consent.
