Cookie Policy
Last updated: May 2025
This page explains what cookies and similar technologies are used on the Brightreef website, why we use them, and how you can adjust your preferences. We aim to use only what is necessary and to be clear about what each item does.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser when you visit. They help the site remember information about your visit — such as whether you have already accepted our cookie notice. Some cookies are stored only for the duration of your visit (session cookies); others remain until you delete them (persistent cookies).
This website also uses browser localStorage, a similar mechanism that stores a small amount of data in your browser. We use it to remember your cookie consent choice.
2. Cookies We Use
Below is a summary of the types of cookies and storage items active on this site:
| Name / Key | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookieConsent | localStorage | Stores your cookie consent preference (accepted or declined) so the banner does not appear on every visit. | Until cleared by you |
| _ga, _gid | Analytics cookie | Used by Google Analytics to distinguish visitors and track page visits in aggregate. Only active if analytics cookies are accepted. | Up to 2 years (_ga), 24 hours (_gid) |
| _fbp | Marketing cookie | Used by Facebook Pixel to identify browsers for advertising measurement. Only active if marketing cookies are accepted. | Up to 3 months |
| _uetsid | Analytics cookie | Used by Microsoft Bing to track visits for advertising measurement. Only active if analytics cookies are accepted. | Up to 1 day |
Analytics and marketing cookies are only stored after you accept optional cookies via our consent banner. If you decline, only the essential localStorage item is used.
3. Essential vs Optional Cookies
Essential: The cookieConsent localStorage entry is necessary to remember your preference and is set regardless of your choice. It contains no personal identifiers.
Optional (analytics and marketing): Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Bing tracking are only active if you choose to accept. You may decline these without affecting your ability to browse the site or contact us.
4. Your Cookie Preferences
Your current preference is shown below. You may update it at any time using the buttons provided.

Note that clearing all cookies may affect how other websites you use behave, not just this one.
6. Third-Party Services
Some optional cookies are set by third-party services (Google, Meta, Microsoft). These services have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review:
