Cookie Policy

1. About this cookie policy

This cookie policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, which ones I use on my websites, and how you can control them.

This policy applies to:

thebusinessfabrik.co.uk

When I say “I”, “me” or “my”, I mean Claudia D. Thompson, part of Electric Visions Ltd.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site owner.

Similar technologies may also be used, such as pixels, tags, local storage and scripts. In this policy, I refer to all of these as “cookies”.

3. Types of cookies I use

I group the cookies on my websites into the following categories:

Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the websites to function properly and cannot be switched off in my systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as submitting a form, setting your privacy preferences or logging in (for future courses and memberships). You can set your browser to block these cookies, but some parts of the sites may then not work.

Performance and analytics cookies
These cookies help me understand how visitors use my websites, such as which pages are visited most often, how long people stay, and where they have come from. I use this information to improve the content and performance of my sites. Where possible, this information is aggregated or pseudonymised.

Functionality cookies
These cookies allow the websites to remember choices you make (such as your language or region) and provide enhanced features, like integrated booking pages.

Advertising and targeting cookies
These cookies may be set by me or by advertising partners (for example, social media platforms) to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other websites or apps. They also help measure the effectiveness of ads.

4. Cookies and tools that may be used

Depending on how you interact with my sites and the services I use, the following cookies and similar technologies may be set:

Website and platform cookies:

- Cookies required to serve pages, keep the site secure, and remember your preferences (for example, cookie consent choices).

Analytics cookies:

- Tools such as Google Analytics or similar services to collect information about how the sites are used (for example, pages visited, time on page, links clicked, approximate location based on IP).

- Advertising and social media pixels: Tools such as Meta/Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag or similar, which track visits and actions on my sites to help me run and measure advertising campaigns, and to show more relevant ads to people who have visited my sites.

Embedded content cookies:

Where I embed third‑party content (for example, videos, podcasts or social media posts), those third parties may set their own cookies. I do not control these cookies; they are governed by the privacy/cookie policies of the third‑party providers.

Because the exact cookies can change when I update my website or tools, this list is intended as a general overview rather than a fully technical, exhaustive list.

5. Cookies and personal data

Some cookies, especially analytics and advertising cookies, may involve the processing of personal data (for example, an IP address or an identifier that can be linked to you). Where that is the case, the use of those cookies is also covered by my Privacy Notice, which explains how and why I process personal data and your rights.

6. Your choices and cookie control

When you first visit my websites, you may see a banner or notice explaining that cookies are used and giving you the option to accept or reject certain types of cookies (for example, analytics and advertising cookies).

You can control cookies in several ways:

Through the cookie banner (if shown)
You can use the options provided to accept or reject non‑essential cookies, such as analytics and advertising cookies.

Through your browser settings
Most web browsers allow you to:

See which cookies are set on your device.

Delete cookies.

Block cookies from being set.

Block cookies from specific sites.

The exact steps depend on your browser. You can usually find instructions in the “Help” or “Settings” section of your browser.

Opt‑out tools
Some third‑party services offer their own opt‑out mechanisms (for example, Google Analytics or social media platforms). You can manage your preferences directly with those providers where relevant.

If you block or delete cookies, some features of my websites may not function as intended.

7. Changes to this cookie policy

I may update this cookie policy from time to time, for example if I change the cookies I use, update my tools, or if legal requirements change. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “last updated” date.

Last updated: 1 March 2026.
