Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy explains how BK Barbados Services ("Company", "we", "us", "our" and "BK Barbados") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our website at https://bkbarbados.com, ("Site", and "website"). By using our website, you consent to the use of cookies. This policy explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
In some cases, we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information.
1. What are cookies?Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (i.e., BK Barbados) are called "first party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third party cookies". Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., analytics, advertising, and interactive content). The parties that set these third party cookies can recognise your computer both when you visit our website and when you visit certain other websites.
2. Why do we use cookies?We use first and third party cookies for several reasons and these cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies and allow our website or a third party to recognise you and make your next visit easier and the website more useful to you. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate (e.g., authenticate users and prevent fraudulent use of user accounts), and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our "Online Properties". Third parties serve cookies through our website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.
The specific types of first and third party cookies served through our website and the purposes they perform are listed in this document.
3. How can I control cookies?You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookies rights by updating your web browser controls. Essential cookies should be accepted as they are strictly necessary to provide you with the services and functionality we provide on our website.
If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. You may also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. As the means by which you can express your cookies preferences through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information.
In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising.

Cookies are not the only way to recognise or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognise when someone has visited our website or opened an email including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
5. Do you serve targeted advertising?Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. This can be accomplished by them using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide these.
6. How often will this Cookies Policy be updated?We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookies Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
The date at the top of this Cookies Policy indicates when it was last updated.
