Bracken Beads Limited (trading as CJ Beaders) – Cookie Policy
Last updated: September 2026
Like almost every website, we use cookies when you visit ours. This
page explains what cookies are, which ones we use, and how you can control
them. We have tried to keep things straightforward – if anything is unclear,
please get in touch at sales@cjbeaders.com or call us on (01202) 798151.
What
are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device
(computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit. They help the website remember
information about your visit - such as what is in your shopping basket or which
language you prefer – so that your next visit is easier and more useful.
The
cookies we use
We use four types of cookies on our website. Some are essential to
make the site work; others help us improve your experience or show you things
that are relevant to you.
Strictly
necessary cookies
These cookies are needed for the basic functions of our website,
such as adding items to your basket, proceeding to checkout, and returning to
an order you started earlier. Without them, the site simply would not work
properly. Because they are essential, these cookies do not require your
consent, though we want you to know about them.
Analytics
cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website – for
example, which pages are most popular and whether people run into any
difficulties. We use this information to improve the site and your shopping
experience. The data is aggregated and anonymous wherever possible.
Preference
cookies
These cookies remember choices you have made – such as your
language, currency, or location – so we do not have to keep asking you every
time you visit. They make your experience more personal and convenient.
Advertising
and targeting cookies
These cookies are used to show you adverts that are more relevant to
your interests. They also limit the number of times you see the same advert and
help us understand how effective our marketing campaigns are. Some of these
cookies may be placed by third-party advertising partners.
Your
choices and consent
When you first visit our website, we will show you a cookie banner
that lets you choose which types of non-essential cookies you are happy to
accept. You can change your mind at any time by revisiting your cookie
preferences through the link on our website.
Strictly necessary cookies cannot be switched off because the site needs them to function. For
all other cookies – analytics, preference, and advertising – we will only place
them on your device if you have given your consent.
Managing
cookies through your browser
You can also control and delete cookies through your browser
settings. The "help" section of most browsers will explain how to do
this. Please be aware that blocking or deleting certain cookies may affect how
our website works and could reduce the quality of your shopping experience.

Third-party
cookies
Some cookies on our website are placed by third-party services that
we use, such as analytics or advertising platforms. These third parties have
their own privacy and cookie policies, and we encourage you to read them. We
work only with trusted partners and require them to handle your data
responsibly.

to this policy
We may update this cookie policy from time to time. When we do, we
will update the date at the top of this page. We encourage you to check back
occasionally so you are aware of any changes.
