This Cookie Policy explains how Bequestly uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. We keep our cookie use to what is genuinely necessary or useful for operating the site, and we give you a clear choice about non-essential cookies.
1. What Are Cookies
A Brief Explanation
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They serve a variety of purposes — from remembering your preferences to helping the website operator understand how the site is being used.
Cookies are very widely used and are generally not harmful. Most browsers accept them by default, but you can adjust your browser settings to refuse or delete them at any time. Please note that refusing certain cookies may affect how parts of this website function.
In addition to cookies, some analytics tools use similar technologies such as web beacons or tracking pixels. This policy covers those technologies as well.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
How We Use Cookies
We use the following categories of cookies on this website:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They include cookies set in response to actions you take, such as filling in a form or setting your cookie preferences. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
Analytics Cookies
With your consent, we use analytics tools to help us understand how visitors use our website — such as which pages are most visited and where visitors come from. This information is collected in aggregated, anonymised form and helps us improve the website over time. These cookies are only placed if you accept them through our consent banner.
Marketing and Conversion Cookies
With your consent, we may use cookies from advertising platforms (such as Google and Meta) to understand whether visitors who clicked on our advertisements subsequently made an enquiry. These cookies do not allow us to identify you individually. They are only placed if you accept them through our consent banner.

4. Your Consent Choices
Accepting or Declining Cookies
When you first visit our website, a banner will appear giving you the option to accept or decline non-essential cookies (analytics and marketing). Your choice is stored locally on your device so we do not ask again on subsequent visits.
If you decline, only strictly necessary cookies will be placed. Non-essential cookies from analytics and marketing platforms will not be loaded.
You may change your preference at any time by clearing your browser's local storage (the key stored is bequestly_cookie_consent) and revisiting the website. The consent banner will then reappear.
