Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 14 March 2025 | Effective: 14 March 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how Bondhold uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at bondh.biz. It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control their use. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader information about how we handle personal data.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device — computer, tablet, or phone — when you visit. They are widely used to make websites function as expected and to provide information to the website's owners. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services operating on that site ("third-party cookies").
Similar technologies include web beacons (small images embedded in pages or emails), local storage (data stored directly in your browser), and session identifiers. Where this policy refers to "cookies," it covers all such technologies unless otherwise stated.
2. Why we use cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- Functionality — to remember your preferences, such as your cookie consent choice, so that you are not asked on every visit.
- Analytics — to understand, in aggregate, how visitors use our website. This helps us identify which areas of the site are most useful and where improvements may be warranted.
- Performance — to monitor the technical operation of the website and identify any errors or slow-loading elements.
We do not use cookies for advertising, retargeting, or the profiling of individual visitors for commercial purposes.
3. Categories of cookies we use
3.1 Strictly necessary cookies

bh_consent |
Records whether you have accepted or declined optional cookies, so we do not display the consent notice on subsequent visits. | 12 months |
bh_session |
Maintains the continuity of your browsing session on the site. | Session (deleted when browser closes) |
3.2 Analytics cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and understand how visitors move through the website. All information collected is aggregated and does not identify individual users. These cookies are only placed if you accept optional cookies when prompted.

4. How we obtain your consent
When you first visit our website, a notice at the bottom of the screen explains that we use optional cookies for analytics purposes and invites you to accept or decline. Strictly necessary cookies are placed immediately as they are required for the site to function. Optional analytics cookies are only placed if you select "Accept."
Your choice is recorded in a strictly necessary cookie (bh_consent) so that we do not prompt you again during subsequent visits within the following 12 months. You may change your preference at any time using the controls described in Section 5 below.
5. Managing and withdrawing consent
You have several options for controlling cookies:
5.1 On this website
You may withdraw your consent to optional cookies at any time by using the button below. This will clear your current consent preference and reload the consent notice on your next visit.
Cookie Preferences
Your current preference will be cleared and the consent notice will appear on your next visit to this website.
5.2 Browser settings
Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or to delete cookies that have already been set. The steps for doing this vary between browsers. Guidance is available through your browser's help documentation or via resources such as aboutcookies.org. Please be aware that blocking all cookies, including strictly necessary ones, may affect your ability to use certain features of this website.
5.3 Google Analytics opt-out
Google offers a browser add-on that prevents your data from being used by Google Analytics across all websites, regardless of cookie settings on any individual site.
6. Cookies placed by third-party services
Certain pages on this website embed content from third-party services. Our homepage includes an embedded Google Maps frame. When that frame loads, Google may set cookies on your device in accordance with their own cookie policies. We do not have direct control over these cookies. You may review Google's cookie practices at Google's Cookie Policy.
We do not embed social media sharing buttons, advertising networks, or other tracking technologies from third parties beyond those identified in this policy.
7. Do Not Track
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting that signals to websites that you would prefer not to be tracked. There is currently no standard approach to responding to DNT signals, and our website does not alter its behaviour based on whether a DNT signal is received. You may use the consent and browser controls described in this policy to manage cookie usage directly.
8. Retention of cookie data
Analytics data collected through cookies is retained by Google Analytics in accordance with the retention period set in our Google Analytics account, which we have configured to 14 months. Aggregated, anonymised reports derived from this data may be retained for longer as part of our internal records.
Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for the period indicated in the tables above, or until you delete them manually.
9. Changes to this policy
We may revise this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our practices. The version published on this page will always be the current version. If we make changes that alter the purposes for which we use cookies in a material way, we will notify visitors through the website's consent notice on their next visit.
