Last updated: 29 October 2026
About this policy
This Cookies Policy explains how BD Training and Consultancy Ltd (“we”, “us” or “our”), a company registered in England and Wales under number 14621084, uses cookies and similar technologies on bdtrainingandconsultancy.com (“our Site”). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we use personal information more generally.
If you have any questions about this policy, please email [email protected].
1. What cookies are
1.1Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device, or more precisely in the browser you use on that device, when you visit a website. The website, or the company that set the cookie, can then read the information in it when you return.
1.2Cookies are either session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which stay on your device until they expire or you delete them.
1.3Cookies set by us are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by other companies whose services we use on our Site are called third-party cookies.
1.4Similar technologies include web beacons (also called pixels), which are explained in section 5, and local storage in your browser. In this policy, “cookies” includes these technologies unless we say otherwise.
2. How we ask for your consent
2.1We only use cookies that are strictly necessary without asking you first. These are needed for our Site to work and the law does not require consent for them.
2.2We will only set any other cookies, such as analytics cookies, if you agree to them through the cookie banner that appears when you first visit our Site. Non-essential cookies are switched off until you choose to accept them, and rejecting them is as easy as accepting them.
2.3You can change your mind at any time by using the cookie settings link at the bottom of our Site, or by deleting cookies in your browser, which will bring the banner back on your next visit.
3. The cookies we use
3.1We use the following categories of cookies.
- Strictly necessary
- These cookies make our Site work. They keep our pages secure, balance the load on our servers, let our contact form submit correctly, and remember your cookie choices. When our e-learning is available, they will also keep you logged in to your Account. You cannot switch these off on our Site, but you can block them in your browser, in which case parts of our Site may not work.
- Functional
- These cookies remember choices you make, such as information you have already entered in a form, so you do not have to enter it again. They are only set with your consent.
- Analytics
- These cookies help us understand how visitors use our Site, such as which pages are visited most, how long people stay and how they arrived. We use this information to improve our Site and our content. It is reported to us in aggregate and is not used to identify you. These cookies are only set with your consent.
- Advertising
- We do not currently use advertising or targeting cookies. If we start to, for example to measure the results of advertising on LinkedIn, we will only set them with your consent and we will update this policy first.
3.2The main services that set cookies on our Site are:
- HighLevel
- our website, form and booking platform. Sets strictly necessary cookies to run our Site and contact form, and to record your cookie choices. Some may last for the session only, others for up to 12 months.
- Google Analytics
- if enabled, provided by Google LLC. Sets analytics cookies such as
_gaand_ga_<ID>, which distinguish visitors and last for up to 2 years. Only set with your consent. - Our e-learning platform
- when our e-learning launches, the platform will set strictly necessary cookies to keep you logged in to your Account. We will add the provider’s name here at that point.
3.3The exact cookies used can change as these services update their software. You can see the cookies set on your device at any time in your browser settings.
3.4Our Site also loads fonts from Google Fonts. This does not set cookies, but your browser sends your IP address to Google so the fonts can be delivered.
4. Third-party cookies
4.1Third-party cookies are controlled by the companies that set them, under their own privacy policies. We choose these providers carefully, but we do not control their cookies.
4.2Some of these providers are based in the United States. Our Privacy Policy explains how personal information transferred outside the UK is protected.
4.3Our Site links to other websites, such as LinkedIn. Those websites have their own cookies and policies, which we do not control.
5. Web beacons and pixels
5.1A web beacon, also called a pixel, is a tiny, usually invisible image placed in a web page or email. When it loads, it can tell the sender that the page or email has been viewed, when, and the IP address of the device used.
5.2Emails we send through our email platform may contain a pixel so we can see whether they have been opened and whether links have been clicked. We use this to check our emails are being delivered and to improve them. You can stop this by setting your email program not to load images automatically.
5.3We do not currently use advertising pixels on our Site. If we do in future, they will only run with your consent, as described in section 3.1.
6. How to manage cookies in your browser
6.1As well as using our cookie banner, you can control cookies through your browser. Most browsers let you see which cookies are set, delete them, and block cookies from some or all websites. Blocking all cookies, including strictly necessary ones, may stop parts of our Site from working.
6.2These pages explain how to manage cookies in common browsers:
- Google Chrome (including Chrome on Android)
- Mozilla Firefox
- Safari on Mac
- Safari on iPhone and iPad
- Microsoft Edge
6.3For general information about cookies and how to manage them, visit allaboutcookies.org.
6.4To stop Google Analytics collecting information about you on any website, you can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
7. Do Not Track
Some browsers can send a “Do Not Track” signal to websites. Because there is no agreed standard for how websites should respond to these signals, our Site does not change its behaviour when it receives one. This does not affect your cookie choices, which we always respect.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time, for example when we add a new service to our Site or the law changes. We will change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page when we do. If we start using a new category of non-essential cookies, we will ask for your consent again.
