Cookie Policy
Last updated: 18 April 2025
This policy explains what cookies are, how Bumi Advocates uses them on this website, and how you can manage your preferences. We try to keep this explanation straightforward.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit. They allow the site to remember certain information about your visit — for example, whether you have already accepted cookies, or which pages you have viewed.
Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot run programmes on your device. They are simply records of information.
2. The Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies (always active)
These cookies are necessary for the website to function. They cannot be disabled because without them certain parts of the site would not work. They do not collect information about you for marketing purposes.
- cookieConsent — records your cookie preference so that the consent banner does not appear on every page. Duration: 12 months.
Analytics Cookies (optional)
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website — for example, which pages are visited most often and how long visitors stay. This information is used to improve the site. It does not identify you personally.
- Google Analytics cookies (if enabled): _ga, _gid, _gat — duration up to 24 months.
Marketing Cookies (optional)
These cookies may be used to show relevant information about our services to people who have visited our site. We do not currently use extensive advertising networks, but this category is included for transparency.
Preference Cookies (optional)
These cookies remember choices you have made on the website, such as your preferred language or region, to improve your experience on a return visit.
3. Third-Party Cookies
If analytics cookies are enabled, Google Analytics will set cookies on your device. Google's privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy. We do not control the cookies set by third-party services.
4. Cookie Duration
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a specified period — in our case, up to 24 months for analytics cookies and 12 months for the consent cookie. You can delete cookies at any time through your browser settings.
