The cookies we set
These are the cookies this Website actually sets. You can see them yourself
in your browser’s privacy or developer settings at any time.
| Name | Category | What it is for | Expires |
|---|
BOLD_SESSION |
Strictly necessary |
Keeps your visit working as you move between pages, and helps protect our forms from misuse. It holds no personal details and cannot be read by scripts. |
1 hour |
cookieConsent, cookieConsentDate |

_ga, _ga_… |
Analytics (Google Analytics) |
Set by Google Analytics to measure how the Website is used. They are only set once you accept analytics cookies — if you decline, analytics storage stays switched off. |
Up to 2 years |
We also store your consent choice in your browser’s local storage
(cookieConsent, cookieConsentDate and
cookiePreferences) so your preferences survive a page reload.
Clearing your browsing data removes them, and you will be asked again.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies may be set by third-party services used on our Website (for example, analytics providers such as Google).
We do not control these third-party cookies. Their use is governed by the third party’s own policies.

When you first visit our Website, you will see a cookie banner allowing you to accept, reject, or customize
non-essential cookies.
- You can withdraw consent at any time through cookie settings (via the banner or a site link, if provided).
-
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before it was withdrawn.
-
If you reject non-essential cookies, the Website will still work, but some features may be limited.
7. Browser Controls
Most browsers allow you to control cookies through settings, including deleting existing cookies, blocking cookies,
or setting alerts when cookies are being placed. If you disable cookies, some parts of the Website may not function
properly.
8. International Data Transfers (if applicable)
Where cookie-related processing involves transferring personal data outside the EU/EEA or the UK, we will use
appropriate safeguards, such as adequacy decisions or Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), and implement additional
measures where required.
