SCOPE OF THIS POLICY
This Cookies Policy (“Policy”) is established by BAS-IP DISTRIBUTION LTD (“BAS-IP”, “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) to inform users of the Website of the processing carried out regarding their personal data through the use of cookies.
We use cookies on our website https://bas-ip.com/ (“Website”) for the following purposes:
- to recognise your device and save the actions you have previously made;
- to analyse the users’ usage of the Website to improve our services;
- to prevent fraud;
- to ensure the functionality of the Website;
- for other purposes described in this Policy.
WHAT ARE COOKIES?
A cookie is a small piece of data, often containing a unique identifier, that a website sends to your computer, tablet, or mobile phone (“device”). The cookies are used to remember your preferences, device, and browser settings. While cookies may not always directly identify you, they contribute to a more personalised online experience.
Cookies by provider:
There are two types of cookies, divided in accordance with the category of provider, namely:
- First-party cookies are cookies placed on the website by the host of the domain the user is visiting.
- Third-party cookies are cookies placed on the website by domains other than the one the user is visiting.
You may find the relevant information about the use of cookies by third-party service providers in their respective privacy documents.
On our Website, we use both first-party and third-party cookies.
Cookies by the period of expiry:
The cookies also vary depending on the period of retention, namely:
- Session cookies expire automatically when you close the browser;
- Persistent cookies are stored until they expire or you delete them.
On our Website, we use both session and persistent cookies.
YOUR CHOICES
You have the right to choose whether to accept the particular cookies. However, cookies are an essential part of how our Website works. Please be aware that if you decide to block or delete particular cookies, some features of our Website may not function well or may become unavailable.
Most web browsers are, by default, set to accept cookies. However, you can still set your browser to block or delete cookies. To modify the settings of your browser, follow the instructions included in the following links:
Most web browsers may collect personal data according to their own practices and policies. We do not process such data and are not responsible for its collection and processing.
Please remember that this Policy DOES NOT cover the cookies provided by third parties when you follow the links to any website other than ours.
TYPES OF COOKIES WE USE
We may use four main types of cookies, including those placed by third-party services, on our Website:
- Necessary: enable users to use the Website by providing basic functions, such as ensuring security. The Website cannot function properly without these cookies.
- Analytics: these cookies collect information about how users interact with our Website (e.g., page visits and page load speed). These cookies are sometimes placed by third-party providers of web traffic analysis services.
- Marketing: these cookies are used to track the visitors’ interest in a particular product, measure the number of unique visits, recognise returning users, and deliver a targeted advertisement to users. These cookies are placed by us and selected third parties, enabling adverts to be presented to you on third-party websites.
- Preferential: enable our Website to remember choices you make (such as language preferences) and recognise you when you return.
LEGAL GROUNDS
We use cookies under Article 6 of the UK GDPR and GDPR based on the following grounds:
- consent of the users;
- the legitimate interest of the Company.
We may use the necessary and preferential cookies based on our legitimate interest, namely:
- to check if users’ browser supports cookies;
- to detect if the visitor has accepted cookies in the cookie banner;
- for load balancing (to optimise user experience);
- to preserve user session state across page requests;
- for security purposes, such as limiting incoming traffic;
- improve the user experience by enabling personalised features such as language preferences
Necessary cookies are always active.
Preferential cookies are off unless, for example, the user chooses to manage their language preferences. In this case, the preferential cookies turn on automatically to ensure the user’s request.
Other cookies, namely the analytics and marketing cookies, are used only based on the user’s consent.
The following table sets out the different categories of cookies we use and the purposes for which we use them, providers, and retention periods.
