At Bel-Rose International, we are required by UK and EU law, to obtain consent from visitors about the placement of cookies on your electronic device when visiting our website.  We do this by displaying a pop-up banner on the website during your first visit - no matter which page you open first. The banner will be removed after you click 'I Accept' and will not appear again whilst browsing other pages during your immediate session.  However, if you delete cookies at the end and return later on, the cookie banner will reappear.  We explain what a cookie is, why it is used, what cookies are used on our website and how to delete them.

 

What is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive.  Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyse web traffic, or lets you know when you visit a particular site.  Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual.  The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes, by gathering information and remembering information about your preferences.
