Cookie Policy
We believe in being clear and open about how we use cookies. This page explains what cookies are, which ones we use, and how to control them.
🍪 What are Cookies?
A cookie is a small data file that a website stores on your browser or the hard drive of your computer when you visit. Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users, which helps us provide you with a good browsing experience and allows us to improve our site.
This Cookie Policy applies to any of our products or services that link to this policy. We use cookies and similar technologies such as pixels (collectively referred to as "cookies") to collect and use data as part of our Services.
In plain English: Cookies are tiny text files that remember your preferences and help the site work properly. They don't give us access to your computer and we can't use them to identify you personally unless you've registered with us.
🏢 Who We Are
We are BD Marketing Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (Company number 14905350), whose registered office is at 71–75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, UK, WC2H 9JQ.

You can also make complaints about our use of cookies to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) — visit www.ico.org.uk for more information.
📊 Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies on this site:
| Type | Purpose | Can you disable? |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Required for the site to function — logging in, maintaining your session, security | No — these are necessary |
| Analytics | Help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it (e.g. Google Analytics) | Yes — via cookie settings |

⚙️ Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually only set in response to actions you take — such as logging in, saving a deal, or setting your privacy preferences.
Examples include: session management cookies, login authentication tokens, and CSRF security tokens. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
📈 Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site — which pages are most popular, how long people stay, and where they come from. This helps us make the site better for everyone.
Google Analytics data is anonymised and aggregated — we cannot identify individual users from this data. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time using Google's opt-out tool.
🔗 Marketing & Affiliate Cookies
When you click through to a retailer's website from one of our deals, we use affiliate tracking cookies to record that the click originated from our site. This is how we earn a small commission when you make a qualifying purchase.
Important: These cookies never affect the price you pay. The commission comes from the retailer, not from you. Disabling these cookies means we cannot record your click as coming from our site, which may affect whether a deal is tracked correctly.
🛠️ Managing Your Cookies
You can control and manage cookies in your browser settings. All modern browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or be warned before a cookie is stored. Please note that if you disable cookies, some parts of our site may not function correctly.
