Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how the BTEM website uses cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They enable core functions of the site, help remember certain preferences and provide information about how visitors interact with the content. This policy describes the types of cookies used, why they are used and how you can manage them.

​

When you first visit the BTEM website, you may see a message informing you that cookies are in use. By continuing to browse the site, or by clicking “Accept” where such an option is provided, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this policy. You may withdraw consent or adjust your preferences at any time through your browser settings, although doing so may affect site functionality.

​

The BTEM website uses a combination of essential and non-essential cookies. Essential cookies are required for the website to operate correctly and cannot be disabled, as they support core features such as page loading, navigation and security. Without these functional cookies, the site may not behave as expected. Non-essential cookies, such as analytics cookies, help us understand how visitors use the site, which pages are most frequently accessed and how the content is read or navigated. This information is collected in an aggregated or pseudonymised form and is used only to improve the structure, performance and accessibility of the website.

​

Some cookies are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your browser. Others are persistent cookies that remain stored on your device for a longer period so the site can recognise your device when you return. In addition to cookies placed directly by the BTEM website, some may be set by the hosting platform or integrated tools, such as analytics providers. These third-party cookies are used for performance monitoring and general usage tracking.

​

You can manage or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block all cookies, block cookies from specific sites, delete existing cookies or notify you before a cookie is stored. Instructions vary from one browser to another, and you may consult the help or settings section for guidance. Restricting or disabling cookies may affect the appearance or behaviour of the site, especially features that rely on essential functionality.

​

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how personal data may be processed when collected through cookies or analytics. The BTEM website does not use cookies for advertising, behavioural tracking or commercial marketing. Any data collected is used strictly for site performance, functionality and improvement.

​

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use, updates in legal requirements or improvements in site operation. Any revisions will appear on this page with a new effective date. Visitors are encouraged to check this page periodically to stay informed about how cookies are used and how they can manage their preferences.

​

If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy or about how cookies are used on the BTEM website, please contact the site administrators using the details on the “Contact Website Administrators” page.
