Analytics Providers

We use third-party analytics services to help us understand website usage. These services may set their own cookies to track visitor behaviour across multiple sessions. The data collected is used solely for analytics purposes and is not shared with other third parties.

Cookies and Personal Data

Some cookies may contain or be linked to personal data, particularly if you're logged into a service. However, brave-networth does not require user accounts, so our cookies generally contain only anonymous identifiers.

Consent and Legal Basis

Under UK data protection law, we need your consent to use non-essential cookies. When you first visit our website, we ask for your consent before placing any non-essential cookies on your device.

Your consent choices are recorded in an essential cookie so we don't ask repeatedly. You can withdraw consent at any time by changing your cookie preferences.

Essential cookies are used on the legal basis of legitimate interests, as they're strictly necessary for the website to function and provide the service you've requested.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices. When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you through our website or by email.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.

Impact of Disabling Cookies

Disabling different types of cookies has varying effects:

  • Essential cookies: Cannot be disabled. The website may not function properly without them.
  • Analytics cookies: Disabling these prevents us from understanding how you use the site but doesn't affect functionality.
  • Marketing cookies: We currently don't use these, so disabling them has no effect.

Cookies Set by Embedded Content

Our website does not embed content from social media platforms or video sharing services. Therefore, we don't set cookies from services like YouTube, Twitter, or Facebook. If we add embedded content in the future, we'll update this policy and our cookie consent tool accordingly.

Mobile Devices and Cookies

When accessing our website from mobile devices, cookies work similarly to desktop browsers. You can manage cookie preferences through your mobile browser settings or our cookie consent tool. Some mobile browsers may have additional privacy features that affect how cookies work.
