This cookie policy explains our use of cookies and similar technologies on the websites that link to this policy (including www.bpm.com).

We may obtain information about your general internet usage by using “cookies”. A cookie is a small text file that’s passed to your computer’s hard disk through your web browser, so the website remembers who you are when you return. Cookies are widely used to make websites work or work more efficiently. They also provide useful information to website owners. Other, similar tracking technologies exist (such as pixels). For the purposes of this cookie policy, reference to cookies should be read to include these similar technologies.

Cookies can be broken down into the following categories:

Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of a website. On our websites, these essential cookies are always enabled because our websites won’t work properly without them. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our website. You can switch off these cookies in your browser settings but you may then not be able to access all or parts of our website.

Analytical or performance cookies. These allow websites owners to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around websites when they are using them. This can help to improve the way a website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.

Functionality cookies. These can be used to recognise you when you return to a website. This enables the website owner to personalise content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).

Targeting cookies. These cookies record your visit to a website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. This information can be used to make websites, and the advertising displayed on them, more relevant to your interests. This information is often then shared with third parties so that they can serve you with relevant advertising on their websites or on other websites you visit.

You can find more information about the individual cookies we use and the purposes for which we use them in the table at the end of this cookie policy.
