Cookie Policy

Last updated: 1st January 2026

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners about how users interact with their sites.

Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device until deleted or expired) or "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser). They can also be "first-party" (set by the website you're visiting) or "third-party" (set by other services used by the website).

How We Use Cookies

boldstrategist uses cookies to enhance your browsing experience, analyse website performance, and provide personalised content. We implement Google Consent Mode v2 to respect your privacy choices and ensure compliance with data protection regulations.

Our use of cookies is categorised into four types: necessary, analytics, functional, and marketing. You can control which categories of cookies you accept through our cookie consent banner or by adjusting your browser settings.

Types of Cookies We Use

Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable basic features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and form submissions. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled.

Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use Google Analytics to analyse website traffic, user behaviour, and site performance to improve our services.

Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation, such as remembering your preferences, language settings, and other customisations you've made to improve your experience on our website.

Marketing Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests. They may be used by Google Ads and other advertising services to build a profile of your interests and show relevant adverts on other sites. They also help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

Third-Party Cookies

Our website uses services from third-party providers that may set their own cookies. These include:

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to analyse website usage and improve our services. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about how you use our website, which is then used to compile reports and help us improve the site. The information collected is anonymous and includes the number of visitors, where they came from, and which pages they visited.

Google Ads

We use Google Ads for advertising and remarketing purposes. Google Ads may use cookies to show you relevant advertisements based on your interests and previous visits to our website. These cookies also help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.

Google Fonts

We use Google Fonts to display fonts on our website. Google Fonts may set cookies to optimise font loading and delivery. These are considered functional cookies that enhance the visual presentation of our content.

Google Consent Mode v2

We implement Google Consent Mode v2 to ensure that our use of Google services (Analytics and Ads) respects your cookie preferences. This technology allows us to:

  • Adjust how Google tags behave based on your consent choices
  • Provide privacy-focused measurement when consent is not given
  • Respect your preferences for analytics and advertising cookies
  • Maintain compliance with data protection regulations

When you decline marketing or analytics cookies, Google Consent Mode ensures that the corresponding Google services operate in a privacy-enhanced manner, without using cookies for those purposes.

How to Control Cookies

You have several options for controlling cookies on our website:

Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit our website, you'll see a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the cookie settings link in our footer.

Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually find these options in the 'Options' or 'Preferences' menu of your browser. You can set your browser to:

  • Accept all cookies
  • Reject all cookies
  • Notify you when a cookie is set
  • Delete cookies when you close your browser

Third-Party Opt-Out

For Google Analytics, you can opt out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. For Google Ads, you can manage your ad preferences through Google's Ad Settings page or opt out of personalised advertising entirely.

Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you can disable cookies, doing so may affect your experience on our website:

  • Necessary cookies: Disabling these may prevent the website from functioning properly
  • Analytics cookies: We won't be able to improve our website based on usage data
  • Functional cookies: You may need to re-enter preferences each time you visit
  • Marketing cookies: You may see less relevant advertisements, but functionality won't be affected

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we will notify you by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy and, where appropriate, provide additional notice on our website.
