Last updated: 29th April, 2026
Cookies are small text files that a website saves to your browser when you visit. They help the site remember information about your visit — like your preferences or whether you've seen a cookie banner before — so your next visit is quicker and easier.
Cookies can't run programmes or carry viruses. They're simply a way for websites to remember you. Some cookies are set directly by Brumble (first-party cookies); others are set by third-party services we use, such as Google Analytics or YouTube.
Brumble uses cookies to:
We will only set non-essential cookies (analytics and advertising) if you give your consent. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time — see section 6 below.
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be turned off. They're set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences or filling in forms. Without these cookies, parts of the site simply won't work. You can set your browser to block them, but some pages may then not load correctly.
Examples: session cookies, cookie consent preference storage.
We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors use Brumble.co.uk — which pages are most popular, how long people spend on the site, and where visitors come from. This helps us improve the site over time. All data collected by Google Analytics is anonymised; we cannot identify individual visitors from this data.
These cookies are only set with your consent.
When we run paid advertising campaigns, we use cookies from Google Ads and Meta (Facebook/Instagram) to measure how effective those campaigns are and to show relevant ads to people who have visited our site on other platforms. These cookies are only active when we are running paid campaigns and are only set with your consent.
Providers: Google Ads, Meta Pixel.
Some pages on Brumble include content from third-party services — such as embedded YouTube videos or social media sharing buttons. When you interact with this content, those third parties may set their own cookies. We do not control these cookies, and they are subject to the privacy policies of the respective third parties. YouTube, for example, may set cookies when you play an embedded video.
