Every cookie and browser storage key this site and the partner platform use, what each one is for, and how to change your mind. Last updated: 21 August 2026.
This is what is recorded in this browser right now:
No choice recorded yet — essential cookies only
Your choice is stored in this browser only. If you use another browser or device, or clear your browsing data, we will ask again.
We use cookies the site needs in order to work, and nothing else unless you say yes. This site does carry Meta’s advertising pixel, because we advertise on Facebook and Instagram — but it does not load at all until you accept. If you choose Essential only, every page, form and login continues to work exactly as before — you lose nothing.
These cannot be switched off, because without them the site cannot do what you asked it to do. They are all set by us on our own domains and are never used for advertising.
| Name | Type | Lasts | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
bic_consent | Cookie | 180 days | Remembers the choice you made on the cookie notice, so we stop asking. Without it we would have to show the notice on every page. |
bic_csrf | Cookie | Until you close the browser | A random token your browser must echo back when a form is submitted. It is what stops another website from submitting a form on your behalf. |
bic_session | Cookie | Up to 30 days | Keeps you signed in to the partner platform after you log in. Set only once you log in, and cleared when you log out. |
bic_selected_business, bic:compare, bic:recent, bic.demo.v1 | Local storage | Until you clear it | Which business you are currently viewing, the opportunities you put side by side, the ones you looked at recently, and demo activity on the partner platform. All of it stays in your browser. |
bic.theme | Local storage | Until you clear it | Light or dark appearance, so the platform opens the way you left it. |
We advertise on Meta (Facebook and Instagram). Two things follow from that, and neither happens unless you accept. First, Meta’s advertising pixel: a script loaded from Meta that reports the pages you view on this site back to Meta and sets Meta’s own cookie in your browser. Second, campaign attribution: the link you arrive on carries parameters identifying the advertisement, and we keep those for the duration of your visit so an enquiry you submit two pages later can still be credited to the campaign that paid for it.
| Name | Type | Lasts | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
bic_attr | Session storage | Until you close the tab | The campaign, advertisement and referring page you arrived through. Sent to us only when you actually submit an enquiry, and then stored with that record. |
Meta Pixel fbevents.js | Third-party script | While the page is open | Loaded from connect.facebook.net. Reports a page view to Meta so it can measure and target our advertising. Blocked entirely until you accept, and it starts the moment you do. |
_fbp, _fbc | Cookies, set by Meta | 90 days | Set by Meta’s pixel once it loads, to recognise this browser and match an enquiry back to the advertisement that produced it. If you choose Essential only the pixel never loads, we never read these, and any already in this browser are deleted. |
If you choose Essential only, the pixel is never loaded, nothing is reported to Meta, we do not write the attribution record, and Meta cookies already in this browser from before your choice are deleted.
There is no Google Analytics and no Google Tag Manager on this site, and Meta’s advertising pixel is the only third-party tag of any kind. We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information, and we do not share it with any other marketing service.
Use the Change my choice button at the top of this page, at any time. Withdrawing is exactly as easy as consenting, and takes effect immediately. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser's own settings — if you block the strictly necessary ones, logging in and submitting forms will stop working.
This page covers what is stored in your browser. What happens to the information you send us — what we collect, why, how long we keep it and how to have it corrected or deleted — is in the Privacy Policy.
If we add a category of cookie, we will ask you again rather than assume your earlier answer covers it. The date at the top of this page tells you when it last changed.
