What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website asks your browser to store on your device.
When you return to the site, the browser sends those files back, so the site can recognise your session, remember your preferences or measure how pages are used. Similar technologies - such as local storage, session storage and small tracking pixels - work in comparable ways, and this policy covers them all under the general term “cookies”.
A cookie generally contains the name of the site that set it, a value (often a random identifier) and an expiry date. Cookies cannot read other files on your device and are not programs.
Why we use cookies
Boyne Wealthholm employs cookies to maintain website security and operation, to store your preferences, to assess page relevance, and - with your consent - to evaluate marketing effectiveness. Essential cookies activate immediately upon site access as they are required for basic functionality. Other cookie types require your prior consent before activation and can be revoked at any moment.
The categories we use
All cookies used on this site fall into one of four categories below.
Strictly necessary cookies
These keep the site usable: they maintain your session while you move between pages, balance traffic across servers, protect forms against automated abuse and remember the cookie choices you have already made. They do not build a profile of you and cannot be switched off through our banner, because without them core functions such as signing in would fail.
Preference (functionality) cookies
These remember the settings you choose - for example the interface language, a region, a display preference or whether you have dismissed an informational notice. They make the site more convenient but are not essential; if you refuse them, the site still works and simply asks for your preferences again on each visit.
Analytics (performance) cookies
These help us count visits, see which pages are read, how long people stay and where errors occur. The reporting is aggregated: it tells us that a page is popular or slow, not who you are. We use the results to fix problems and to improve the structure of the site.
Marketing (advertising) cookies
These track the referral source from specific campaigns or ads, prevent duplicate messaging, and evaluate campaign conversion to registration. Advertising partners on third-party sites may access them. They are set exclusively with your explicit consent.
| Category | Purpose | Consent needed | Typical lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Session, security, load balancing, consent record | No - required for the site to work | Session up to about 12 months |
| Preference | Language, region and display choices | Yes | Days up to about 12 months |
| Analytics | Combined visitor traffic and website performance information | Yes | Days up to about 24 months |
| Marketing | Campaign attribution and advertising measurement | Yes | Days up to about 24 months |
How long cookies live
Session cookies persist solely during an active browser session and are deleted automatically when the session ends. Persistent cookies persist until the expiration date specified or until you manually delete them; on this site durations vary from several days to approximately two years based on function. Individual cookie expiration times are always viewable through your browser's storage configuration.
We maintain your consent preferences for a defined duration to prevent banner reappearance on each visit; once this duration expires we request consent renewal.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by service providers acting on our behalf, for example providers of web analytics, content delivery, fraud prevention or advertising measurement. These providers may read their own cookies when you visit other sites that use the same services. We do not control the content of third-party cookies; their use of the data they collect is governed by their own privacy and cookie notices.
Third-party cookies that are not essential are only deployed after you provide approval via the cookie banner. To request the current list of active providers, reach out to support for complete and current information.
How to refuse or delete cookies
You are always free to change your mind.
Through our banner
Utilize the cookie banner or the cookie settings option available on the site to approve or decline the preference, analytics and marketing cookie types. Declining a type prevents future cookies of that category; previously set cookies can be removed using your browser.
Through your browser
All major browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete them individually or entirely, block cookies from specific sites, block all third-party cookies, or delete everything automatically when the browser closes. You will normally find these controls under a menu named “Settings”, then “Privacy”, “Privacy and security”, “Site permissions” or “Cookies and site data”. Mobile browsers offer the same options in their settings screens, and mobile operating systems provide separate controls for advertising identifiers.
Private browsing
Opening the site in a private or incognito window means most cookies are discarded when you close that window, though this does not prevent them from being set during your visit.
What happens if you block cookies
Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent parts of the site from working: you may be unable to stay signed in, submit a form or complete a secure step. Blocking preference cookies means settings such as language are not remembered. Blocking analytics or marketing cookies has no effect on functionality - you will simply not be counted in our statistics and campaign measurement.
Updates and how to contact us
We examine this policy regularly and revise it when cookie usage, underlying technologies or legal requirements change. The latest version displays on this page at all times; significant modifications will be announced through the site or cookie banner, and your ongoing use following the revision indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
If you have a question about this policy, want details of a specific cookie or wish to exercise a data-protection right, please write to our support team through the contact page. Related materials are provided in the footer section on all pages, including our Privacy Policy.
