What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of text stored on your device when you visit a website. Alongside cookies, similar technologies — like web beacons or pixel tags — may also be used to collect data about how you interact with the site. These tools help websites remember users, store preferences, and improve overall functionality.

Whenever we mention “cookies” in this notice, we refer broadly to all technologies that perform similar roles, whether in a browser or mobile environment.

Where Cookies Come From

Cookies used on this site fall into two general categories:

  • First-party cookies — placed by us directly to support the site’s operation and enhance your experience.
  • Third-party cookies — placed by partners we work with, often for analytics or advertising purposes. These cookies may be able to track your activity across multiple websites and platforms.

Each type of cookie serves a distinct purpose, which is outlined below.

How Cookies Are Used

Cookies are used for various purposes on bookabetzm.com. Some are essential to basic site functionality, while others help customise or optimise your browsing.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are fundamental to how the site works. Without them, certain features would be unavailable, such as secure access or session management. You can block them via your device settings, but it may severely limit your ability to use the site effectively.

Performance Cookies

These help us understand how users interact with our pages. By measuring visitor behaviour — such as time spent, navigation flow, and usage across different devices — we can identify issues and improve the overall performance of the site.

Functional Cookies

These allow the site to remember your preferences, like region or language, so your experience stays consistent across visits. They also help personalise certain elements of the interface for returning users.

Targeting Cookies

These cookies capture information about your interaction with our content and may be used to show you more relevant messages or to avoid repeating the same promotions. In some cases, this data may be shared with partners who support content delivery. These cookies only activate with your permission.

Social Media Cookies

Some site features may be connected with social networks to let you share content or engage with third-party platforms. These cookies are set by the platforms themselves and may be influenced by your settings on those services.

Managing Your Preferences

You can revisit and update your cookie settings at any time using the controls available in the site’s cookie preferences panel. Most browsers also let you manage cookie behaviour directly — such as deleting existing cookies or blocking new ones altogether.

If you access the site from multiple devices, don’t forget to review cookie settings on each one separately.

Turning off some types of cookies may impact how smoothly certain features work, but you will remain in control of what data is stored and used.
