Cookies
This website (“Bebeco,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to improve your browsing experience and our product range. We comply with the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK GDPR.
Consent banner. Before any non‑essential cookies are set, a banner lets you accept all, reject non‑essential, or customise cookies category‑by‑category. You can change your choice at any time in your browser settings or via the Cookie Settings link in the footer. Blocking cookies may affect certain site functions such as checkout and login.
Non‑essential cookies. These include analytics, personalisation, and advertising cookies. They help us understand site performance, remember preferences, or show relevant ads, but the site can still operate without them. We therefore ask for your explicit consent before setting any of these cookies. If you choose Reject non‑essential cookies, only the strictly‑necessary cookies described below will load. You can still browse and check out, but features like saved preferences, tailored recommendations, or embedded media may not work as intended.
Essential (“strictly necessary”) cookies. These small files enable core site functions—keeping items in your basket, moving you securely through checkout, logging you in, or remembering language selection on the current page. Because the site would break or become insecure without them, they do not require consent under UK PECR / EU e‑Privacy rules. They are set automatically, remain only as long as needed for that task (usually the current session), and never collect data for marketing or analytics.
