Cookie policy
This cookie policy explains which cookies and similar technologies the Bussinesstan website sets, what each one does, how long it lasts and whether consent is required. Essential cookies keep the site working. Analytics and advertising cookies are set only after consent is given in the banner, and consent can be changed at any time from the preferences control. Personal data handling is covered in the privacy policy.

- 1. What cookies are
- A cookie is a small file stored by a browser when a site is visited. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels and software development kits. All of them are treated the same way in this policy, and are referred to as cookies throughout.
- 2. Categories used
- Essential cookies keep pages loading, forms working and security in place, and cannot be switched off. Functional cookies remember choices such as language or a dismissed banner. Analytics cookies measure which pages are read and where visitors arrive from. Advertising cookies measure whether an ad led to an enquiry. Only the first category is set without consent.
- 3. How consent works
- Nothing on this site currently requires consent, so no banner is shown. Before any analytics or advertising tag goes live, a banner will appear on the first visit with three controls: accept all, reject all, and manage preferences. Rejecting all will leave only essential cookies running, and no category will be pre-ticked. Consent is recorded with a timestamp and the version of the policy in force, and is asked for again after 12 months.
- 4. Changing consent
- Consent can be changed or withdrawn at any time from the manage preferences control, which sits in the footer of every page. Withdrawing consent stops further collection, and existing analytics records are deleted on request through the contact in section 8.
- 5. Third party cookies
- Some cookies are set by third parties named in the table: analytics, advertising and embedded content providers. Those providers act under their own policies, and the table links to each one. No sender or beneficiary data from a client platform is collected through this site.
- 6. Browser controls
- Browsers can block or delete cookies independently of the banner, usually under privacy settings. Blocking essential cookies will break forms and login. Instructions differ by browser, and the settings menu of the browser in use is the reliable source.
- 7. Changes to this policy
- The table is re-checked against a cookie audit of the live site at least every 12 months, and after any change to analytics or advertising tooling. Changes are published on this URL with a new version number and a new last updated date.

Q: Can I use the site without cookies?
A: Yes. Rejecting all leaves only essential cookies, and every page still loads. Forms and security depend on the essential ones, which is why they cannot be switched off.
Q: How do I change my mind later?
A: Use the manage cookie preferences control in the footer. Withdrawing consent stops further collection straight away, and existing records are deleted on request.
Q: Do advertising cookies track my transfers?
A: No. This site sets no cookies inside a client's app or transfer flow, and collects no sender or beneficiary data from any client platform.
Q: Why is the table empty?
A: It is populated from a cookie audit of the live site before publication, so that it lists real cookies rather than a generic set copied from another policy.
