COOKIE POLICY — BIM HIVES | Wix

Last updated: [01/02/2026]

This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on bimhives.co.uk.

Under UK rules (PECR), you must be told about cookies and give consent for non-essential cookies. Strictly necessary cookies can be used without consent.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, remember preferences and measure usage.

2. Cookie categories we use

Strictly necessary

Required for core site security and functionality (e.g., session management, fraud prevention). These do not require consent.

Preferences (functional)

Remember choices you make (e.g., region/language, cookie settings).

Analytics

Help us understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it. These require consent.

Marketing

Used for advertising measurement and audience targeting (e.g., Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn). These require consent.

3. Consent banner and managing preferences (Wix)

Our Site is built on Wix. We use Wix’s cookie/consent tools (and may use Wix’s Usercentrics integration) to present a cookie banner and manage preferences.

You can change your cookie preferences at any time via the cookie settings link (where enabled) or by adjusting your browser settings.

4. Typical Wix cookies (examples)

Wix sites commonly set cookies such as:

XSRF-TOKEN (security)
hs (security)
svSession (visitor/session identification)
smSession (member session, where member features exist)
TS… / TS…_d (security)
These are generally treated as strictly necessary/security cookies.

5. Third-party cookies (analytics/ads)

If enabled on our Site and accepted by you, third parties may set cookies or similar identifiers, including:

Google Analytics / Google Ads
Meta (Facebook/Instagram)
LinkedIn
other marketing/CRM tools we use

These will not run unless you consent (where legally required).

6. Cookie list (recommended)

Because cookies vary depending on which Wix/third-party features are enabled, we recommend maintaining a table on the Site:

Cookie name | Purpose | Category | Provider | Duration

(Your consent platform may generate this automatically following scans.)
