Who is responsible for cookies on BritView.uk?
Calpe Press Ltd. (company number 129044), registered at Unit 5, The Watergardens, Waterport Road, Gibraltar GX11 1AA, is the data controller responsible for cookies on BritView.uk. Our Editor-in-Chief Jonathan Crawford oversees editorial policy, while our privacy team handles cookie compliance; you can contact them at privacy@britview.uk.

What types of cookies do we use on BritView.uk?
We use four categories of cookies: essential, analytics, advertising, and affiliate-related cookies. We also allow embedded media from third-party platforms, which may set their own cookies. Each category serves a distinct purpose, as explained below.
Essential cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for the core functionality of our website, such as remembering your cookie consent preferences and maintaining session security. Without these cookies, certain parts of the site cannot operate. They are set automatically and do not require your consent.
Analytics cookies
We use analytics cookies (e.g., from a self-hosted or third-party service) to understand how readers interact with our content – which articles are most popular, how users navigate the site, and where improvements can be made. These cookies collect anonymised data. We ask for your consent before setting them.
Advertising cookies
BritView.uk uses advertising cookies to deliver relevant display advertisements and to measure the effectiveness of campaigns. These cookies track your browsing behaviour across sites. You can opt out via our cookie settings link; commercial relationships never determine editorial conclusions, as noted in our Advertising and Affiliate Disclosure.
Affiliate cookies
We include affiliate links in some articles, which set cookies to track referrals and commissions. These cookies are covered under our affiliate disclosure policy. Our Business & Economy Correspondent Amelia Foster and other contributors clearly label affiliate content. Affiliate cookies do not influence editorial decisions.
Embedded media cookies
Articles may contain embedded content from platforms such as YouTube, Twitter, or Instagram. When you interact with that content, the third-party provider may set its own cookies. BritView.uk does not control these cookies; we encourage you to review the privacy policies of those platforms.
How do we obtain your consent for cookies?
When you first visit BritView.uk, a cookie consent banner is displayed asking you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Essential cookies are set without consent because they are required for the site to function. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of every page.
Our consent mechanism complies with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) guidance and the EU ePrivacy Directive. We record your consent preference and refresh it periodically to ensure ongoing compliance.
How can you manage or delete cookies?
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link at the bottom of every page on BritView.uk. You may also adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies, but this may affect the functionality and performance of our website.
For detailed instructions on managing cookies in common browsers, please visit the browser’s help section. If you have further questions, you can contact our team or email privacy@britview.uk.
