This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect and use personal information submitted through the website.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small files stored on your computer, tablet or mobile device when you visit a website.

They can be used to make a website function correctly, protect forms and accounts, remember preferences or collect information about how visitors use a website.

How we use cookies

Bellatrix & Buttercream currently uses cookies only where they are necessary for the website to operate securely and provide features requested by visitors.

These may include cookies used for:

website and form security;
preventing spam or fraudulent submissions;
processing messages sent through the contact form;
maintaining essential website sessions;
remembering necessary technical settings; and
allowing authorised administrators to sign in to WordPress.

These cookies are not used to create advertising profiles or track visitors across unrelated websites.

Essential cookies

Essential cookies support functions that are necessary for the website to work properly.

Purpose	What it does	Typical duration
Website security	Helps protect the website and its forms from misuse.	Session or limited period
Contact-form operation	Helps process enquiries and prevent spam submissions.	Session or limited period
WordPress administration	Allows authorised website administrators to sign in securely.	Session or according to login settings
Technical preferences	Remembers essential choices required for the website to function.	Session or limited period

Because these cookies are necessary to provide the website and its requested features, they do not normally require consent. Information about them is still provided in this policy.

Analytics and advertising

We do not currently intend to use cookies for behavioural advertising, remarketing or tracking visitors across unrelated websites.

If analytics, advertising or another non-essential tracking service is introduced, this policy will be updated and an appropriate consent mechanism will be added before those technologies are activated.

Third-party services

Some website features or hosting services may be provided by third parties. These providers may process limited technical information where this is necessary to deliver, secure or maintain the website.

If we add embedded content such as videos, maps or social-media features, the provider may set its own cookies. Where consent is required, that content or technology will not be activated until the visitor has made a choice.

Managing cookies

You can use your browser settings to view, block or delete cookies.

Blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the website from working correctly, including contact forms, security features or administrator access.

Instructions for managing cookies are normally available through your browser’s help or privacy settings.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when the website, its plugins or the services it uses change.

The date at the top of this page shows when the policy was most recently updated.
