This page explains how Cairn Bureau uses cookies on our website, what each type does, and how you can adjust your preferences at any time.

1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser when you visit. They help the site remember your choices, understand how visitors use the site, and in some cases support advertising. Most browsers accept cookies by default, but you can change your browser settings to refuse or delete them.
Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot harm your device. They are widely used by websites to provide a functional and consistent experience across visits.
2. Cookie Types We Use
Essential Cookies
Always active — cannot be disabled
On
These cookies are needed for the website to function. They handle your cookie consent preference and basic session needs. Without them, parts of the site would not work correctly.
Analytics Cookies
Optional
Off
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are visited most and how people arrive at the site. This information is reviewed in aggregate and helps us improve our content. We use Google Analytics for this purpose.
Marketing Cookies
Optional
Off
Marketing cookies may be used to understand whether visitors who reach our site came via an advertisement, and to avoid showing the same advertising repeatedly. These involve third-party services and their data practices are subject to the relevant provider's own privacy policy.
Preference Cookies
Optional
Off
Preference cookies remember choices you have made on the site — such as language or region settings — so that these do not need to be re-entered on each visit. They make the experience more consistent across sessions.
5. Your Preferences
Use the toggles above to choose which optional cookie categories you accept. Then save your choices below. Your selection is stored in your browser and will apply on future visits to this site.
Your preferences have been saved.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Where optional cookies are enabled, third-party services may set cookies on our behalf. These may include:
Google Analytics — for aggregated website usage data (analytics category)
Google Ads — for understanding the source of site visits via advertising (marketing category)
Google Maps — used on our contact page to display our location; may set session cookies
Each third-party service operates under its own privacy policy. We recommend reviewing those policies if you have specific concerns about how those providers handle data.
4. Cookie Duration
Session cookies — exist only while your browser is open and are deleted when you close it. Used for essential site functions.
Persistent cookies — remain on your device for a set period after your session. Our consent preference cookie persists for up to 12 months. Analytics cookies typically persist for up to 13 months.
