Cookie policy
Last updated: June 15, 2026
1. About this policy
This Cookie Policy explains how BEMSB ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on bemsb.com. It should be read together with our Privacy policy, which describes how we handle personal information more generally.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies such as local storage serve comparable purposes. We group these technologies into two categories: essential technologies required for the site to function, and non-essential technologies (analytics, live chat, and embedded maps) that load only after you give consent.
3. Consent
When you first visit our site, a banner lets you accept all cookies or reject non-essential ones. Essential technologies are always active because the site cannot work without them. Non-essential technologies are blocked until you consent, and we keep a dated record of your choice and the policy version it applied to. We do not use cookies for targeted advertising.
4. Cookies and technologies we use
Essential — always active
| Name / provider | Purpose | Type & duration |
|---|---|---|
| bemsb_cookie_consent_v1 BEMSB (first-party) | Stores your cookie consent choice so we do not ask again on every page. | Local storage; persists until you clear it or change your preference. |
| hCaptcha Intuition Machines, Inc. | Protects the contact form from spam and automated abuse. | Cookies / local storage set when the captcha is shown; short-lived to session. |
Non-essential — loaded only after consent
| Name / provider | Purpose | Type & duration |
|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics (_ga, _ga_*, _gid) Google LLC | Aggregate, IP-anonymized statistics about how visitors use the site so we can improve it. | HTTP cookies; up to 2 years. |
| Tawk.to Tawk.to Inc. | Powers the live chat widget so you can message us in real time. | Cookies / local storage; persistent across visits. |
| Google Maps Google LLC | Displays the embedded location map on our contact page. | Cookies set by Google when the map loads; duration varies. |
5. Managing your preferences
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by opening Cookie settings (also linked in the site footer). Choosing Reject non-essential stops analytics, live chat, and map cookies from loading. You can also delete cookies through your browser settings; doing so may affect how some parts of the site work.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our site or the services we use change. When we make material changes, we update the "Last updated" date above and ask you to renew your consent.
