1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit websites. They help websites remember your preferences, keep you logged in, analyse traffic, and improve user experience. Cookies can be 'session' cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or 'persistent' cookies (stored for a set period).
2. Legal basis for cookies
Our use of cookies is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and UK GDPR. PECR is the primary UK law governing cookies and requires us to obtain your informed consent before setting any non-essential cookies. Essential cookies that are strictly necessary for the service to function are exempt from the consent requirement under PECR. Bespea uses cookies to: (a) keep you securely logged in to your account; (b) remember your preferences; (c) analyse how users interact with the platform; (d) detect fraud and prevent abuse (including browser fingerprinting where you have given consent under both PECR and UK GDPR); (e) test new features and improvements.

4. Third-party services
Some data may be processed by third-party services we integrate, including cloud analytics providers and Vercel Analytics (our hosting provider). These third parties have their own privacy policies. We do not set advertising or retargeting cookies. We do not use Facebook Pixel, Google Ads, or similar marketing tracking cookies.
5. Your consent choices
When you first visit Bespea, you will see a cookie banner asking for your consent. You can: (a) Accept all cookies and fingerprinting. (b) Accept essential cookies only (no analytics or fingerprinting). (c) Reject all non-essential cookies. Essential cookies are always active. Your choice is saved to your browser's localStorage under the key 'bespea_cookie_consent' and respected on all subsequent visits.
6. How to manage your preferences
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by: (a) Clicking the cookie settings link in the site footer. (b) Clearing your browser's localStorage (this resets your choice and the banner will reappear). (c) Using your browser's built-in cookie controls to block or delete cookies. Note: blocking essential cookies will prevent you from logging in or using core platform features.
7. Do Not Track (DNT)
Bespea respects Do Not Track (DNT) browser signals where technically feasible. If DNT is enabled, we will not set analytics or fingerprinting cookies. Essential cookies are unaffected.
