Cookie Policy
This page explains how cookies are used on the BV Integrated Marketing Solutions website, and what choices are available to you as a visitor.
Introduction
BV Integrated Marketing Solutions (“BVIMS”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website located at bvims.co. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can control your preferences.
By continuing to use our website, you acknowledge the use of cookies as described in this policy. Where required by applicable law, your explicit consent will be requested before non-essential cookies are placed on your device.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further information on how we collect and process personal data as part of our operations.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — computer, smartphone, or tablet — when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to the website operator.
Cookies allow a website to recognise your device across page visits within a session, or across multiple sessions over time. They store a limited amount of information, such as your preferences or session status, and do not contain executable code or personal data beyond what is described in this policy.
There are two primary categories of cookies by duration:
- Session cookies — temporary files that are deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies — files that remain on your device for a defined period or until manually deleted.
Cookies may be set directly by our website (first-party cookies) or by third-party services that appear on our pages.
How We Use Cookies
BVIMS uses cookies for specific, limited purposes. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles or sell user data to third parties. The purposes for which we use cookies are as follows:
- Website analytics — to understand how visitors interact with our site, including which pages are viewed and how users navigate between sections.
- Performance tracking — to measure page load times, identify technical issues, and improve overall site reliability.
- User experience improvements — to remember user preferences where applicable and provide a more consistent browsing experience on return visits.
- Security and fraud prevention — to help protect the website and its users against fraudulent access, spam submissions, and security vulnerabilities.
Types of Cookies Used
The following categories describe the types of cookies currently in use on the BVIMS website:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. Without them, core features such as page navigation, form submission, and access to secure areas would not operate correctly. Essential cookies cannot be disabled without impairing website functionality. They do not store any personally identifiable information.
Performance Cookies
These cookies collect aggregated, anonymised information about how visitors use the website — such as the pages visited most frequently and any error messages received. This data is used solely to improve how the website works and does not identify individual users. Performance cookies may be set by third-party analytics tools such as Google Analytics.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices made by the user — such as language preferences, saved form inputs, or previously acknowledged notices — and provide enhanced, more personalised features as a result. Information collected by functional cookies may be anonymised and cannot be used to track browsing activity on external websites.
Third-Party Cookies
In addition to our own cookies, our website may use services provided by third parties that place cookies on your device. These may include analytics platforms, embedded content, or performance monitoring tools.
BVIMS does not control the behaviour of third-party cookies and is not responsible for how those third parties collect or use information. We recommend reviewing the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party services you interact with through this site.
Examples of third-party services that may set cookies include, but are not limited to:
- Google Analytics — for aggregated website traffic analysis
- Embedded video or media services — where applicable on specific pages
- Contact or form management tools — used to process submitted inquiries
Where third-party cookies require consent under applicable law, we will seek that consent before activation.
User Control Over Cookies
You have the right to accept, decline, or manage the cookies placed on your device when visiting our website. Most web browsers provide controls that allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies at any time.
To manage cookies, you can adjust the settings in your browser. The process varies by browser:

Please refer to your browser’s help documentation for specific instructions on managing cookie preferences. Additionally, you may visit www.allaboutcookies.org for comprehensive guidance on controlling cookies across different browsers and devices.
