1. What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small files or similar technologies placed on or read from your device when you use a website. Similar technologies can include local storage, pixels, embedded media scripts and other browser storage.
This policy explains how this website intends to use cookies and similar technologies.
2. Our approach
We want this website to be useful without unnecessary tracking. We aim to use essential cookies only where needed to operate the site, remember choices, process forms, support checkout, prevent spam, secure the site or provide requested content.
If we introduce analytics, advertising, retargeting or other non-essential tracking, we will aim to ask for consent before those technologies run, unless a lawful exemption clearly applies and the technology is configured to meet the required conditions.
3. Types of cookies we may use
| Type | Purpose | Consent position |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Security, checkout, form submission, consent preference, load balancing and core website functions. | Usually no consent required, but we still explain them. |
| Preference cookies | Remembering choices such as cookie preferences or interface settings. | May be essential or optional depending on purpose. |
| Analytics | Understanding how visitors use the site and which pages are useful. | We will seek consent unless the setup qualifies for an exemption and is configured accordingly. |
| Embedded media | YouTube, Vimeo and other video/content embeds may set cookies or similar technologies when loaded or played. | May require consent depending on setup and provider behaviour. |
| Payment and fraud prevention | Stripe or other payment providers may use cookies to process payment, prevent fraud and secure checkout. | Often necessary for the transaction, but controlled by the provider once you use checkout. |
4. Third-party services used or linked from the site
This website may link to or embed content from third-party services including Stripe, YouTube, Vimeo, Tabletopia, Kickstarter, Meta, event websites, social platforms and press/news websites. These services may use their own cookies and privacy controls when you interact with them.
Where possible, we should avoid loading optional third-party tracking until it is necessary for the function you choose, such as playing a video or opening checkout.
5. Managing cookies
You can manage cookies through your browser settings. You can usually block, delete or restrict cookies, but some website features may not work properly if strictly necessary cookies are blocked.
If this website displays a cookie banner or cookie settings panel, you can use it to accept, reject or change optional cookie choices.
6. Current cookie list
The current site build is designed to work mainly as a static website with forms, videos, external links and Stripe-ready checkout. The exact cookie list may change when live hosting, analytics, Stripe Payment Links, embedded media and consent tools are configured.
| Name / provider | Purpose | Type |
|---|---|---|
| bdg_cookie_choice | Stores your cookie banner/settings choice if the site banner is used. | Preference / necessary |
| Server logs | Security, troubleshooting and website operation. | Strictly necessary / legitimate interest |
| Stripe | Payment processing and fraud prevention when you choose checkout. | Payment / security |
| YouTube / Vimeo | Video playback and embedded content when videos are loaded or played. | Embedded media |
| Analytics provider, if added | Website measurement and improvement. | Optional unless exempt and configured accordingly |
7. Updates to this cookie policy
We may update this cookie policy when we add or change cookies, analytics, advertising tools, checkout providers, embedded content or other services.
