1.About This Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Build Your Vision Ltd ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on byvpeoplehub.com and within the People Hub application (together, the "Service"). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains more generally how we handle personal data.
By using our website, you agree to our use of strictly necessary cookies as described below. We currently set only strictly necessary cookies. If we introduce any other category of cookies, we will ask for your consent via a cookie banner before they are set, and you will be able to change your preferences at any time as described in Section 5.
2.What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site owner. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, and tracking scripts, which this policy also covers.
3.Categories of Cookies We Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Service to function — for example, keeping you logged into your account, remembering items in a session, and maintaining security. The Service cannot function properly without these, so they are not subject to consent, though you can block them via your browser (which may break parts of the Service).

3.2 Functional Cookies
These remember choices you make (such as language or display preferences) to provide a more personalised experience. Set only with your consent, except where necessary to remember your consent choice itself.
We do not currently set any functional cookies.
3.3 Analytics Cookies
These help us understand how visitors use our website and product so we can improve them, typically via aggregated, statistical data. Set only with your consent.
We do not currently set any analytics cookies.
4.Cookies Within the People Hub Application
Once you are logged in as a Customer or Authorised User, the application uses strictly necessary cookies or equivalent local storage to maintain your session, security, and preferences. Where the application uses analytics to understand product usage (e.g. to improve features), this is done on an aggregated basis and, where it involves setting non-essential cookies for logged-in users, is subject to the same consent principles as our website.
5.Managing Your Cookie Preferences
5.1We currently set only strictly necessary cookies, so we do not show a cookie banner. If we introduce non-essential cookies, you will be shown a cookie banner when you first visit our website, allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookie categories, and you will be able to change your preferences at any time via ["Cookie Settings" link in the website footer · to be confirmed].
5.2You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to see what cookies are stored and delete them individually or block cookies from particular or all sites. Refer to your browser's help function for instructions (e.g. Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge each publish their own guidance).
5.3Blocking or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of our website and the Service, including your ability to stay logged in.
5.4To opt out of interest-based advertising more broadly, you can also visit youronlinechoices.eu (EU/UK) or optout.aboutads.info (US).
6.Other Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use:
- Local storage / session storage: used by the application to store data in your browser for functionality, cleared according to the technology's own rules rather than a cookie expiry date.
- Pixels / web beacons: small transparent images used, for example, in marketing emails to measure open and click rates.
- Log files: our servers automatically record standard information such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited, for security and diagnostic purposes.
7.Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example when we add or remove a cookie or tracking technology. We will post the updated version on our website with a revised "Last updated" date, and, where required, ask for renewed consent.
