(MPS & BBI International Ltd has two divisions, their trading names being BBI Brandboost and DyNNamite)
MPS & BBI International Ltd uses cookies and collects IP addresses (an IP address is a number that can uniquely identify a specific computer or other network device on the internet) from visitors to the MPS & BBI International Ltd websites (www.bbi.co.uk and www.dynnamite.co.uk).
This Cookies Policy covers the following topics:
1. Cookies and how we use them
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes a unique identifier that is sent to your computer or mobile phone (referred to here as a "device") browser from a website's computer and is stored on your device's hard drive. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other websites. Many websites do this whenever a user visits their website in order to track online traffic flows (statistics).
On MPS & BBI International Ltd websites (www.bbi.co.uk, and www.dynnamite.co.uk,) cookies record information about your online preferences and allow us to tailor the websites to your interests.
During the course of any visit to an MPS & BBI International Ltd website, the pages you see, along with a cookie, are downloaded to your device. Many websites do this, because cookies enable website publishers to do useful things like find out whether the device (and probably its user) has visited the website before. This is done on a repeat visit by checking to see, and finding, the cookie left there on the last visit.
Setting your preferences
Users have the opportunity to set their devices to accept all cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time. The last of these means that certain personalised features cannot then be provided to that user and accordingly they may not be able to take full advantage of all of the website's features. Each browser is different, so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.
How does MPS & BBI International Ltd use cookies?
Information supplied by cookies can help us to analyse the profile of our visitors and help us to provide you with a better user experience. For example, if on a previous visit you went to our services pages, we might find this out from your cookie and highlight service information on your second and subsequent visits.
A list of the main cookies that the MPS & BBI International Ltd websites set (and what each is used for) can be found In Section 5.
