Cookie policy
Last updated: May 2026
This policy describes the cookies and similar technologies the Bedrock Commercial Finance website (bedrockfinance.co.uk) uses, and how to manage your preferences.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They typically contain a unique identifier, the name of the website that set them, and an expiry date. We also use a small amount of similar technology such as localStorage, which is functionally equivalent to a cookie for the purposes of this policy.
2. The categories we use
Strictly necessary
These are required for the site to function (recording your consent choice, securing forms against automated submission). They are always active and do not need consent under UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations.
Analytics
These help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve content and performance. They are only set if you have explicitly accepted analytics cookies via the banner that appears on your first visit.
We do not use marketing or advertising cookies. We do not embed third-party social media widgets that set cookies.
3. The cookies we set
| Cookie | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
bedrock-cookie-consentSet by Bedrock Commercial Finance | Strictly necessary | Records your consent choice for analytics cookies. Without this we would have to ask again on every page load. | 365 days (versioned; resets if the consent surface materially changes) |
_ga, _ga_*Set by Google Analytics 4 | Analytics | Distinguishes anonymous users and sessions for aggregate website analytics. Only set if you have given analytics consent. | Up to 2 years |
Cloudflare Turnstile cookiesSet by Cloudflare | Strictly necessary | Used by Cloudflare Turnstile to verify that form submissions come from a real visitor and not a bot. Only set when you interact with the indicative-terms form. | Session only |
4. Managing your preferences
You can manage your cookie preferences in three ways:
- On this site: clear your browser data for bedrockfinance.co.uk to see the consent banner again on your next visit, then make a new choice.
- In your browser: most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking the strictly-necessary cookies may break parts of the site (notably the consent banner, which will then re-appear on every page load).
- At Google Analytics: install Google's opt-out browser add-on to disable Google Analytics across any site you visit.
5. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when we add or remove a cookie or change how we categorise existing cookies. Material changes will be communicated by updating the "Last updated" date above and, where the change affects analytics consent, by re-prompting on your next visit via the versioned consent token.
6. Related policies
How we handle the personal data we collect through cookies is covered in our privacy policy. The legal basis for using the site is covered in our terms and conditions.
