Cookie Policy
Last updated 2 October 2026
This page lists every cookie and similar storage technology used on sbs.eco, what it is for and how long it lasts. It sits alongside our Privacy and Cookies Policy, which explains how we handle personal data more generally.
When you first visit, we set only the cookies that are necessary. We use analytics and marketing technologies only if you accept them, and nothing from either category is loaded or contacted before you choose. You can change your mind at any time:
The same control is in the footer of every page, as “Cookie settings”. Your choice is remembered for 12 months, then we ask again.
The three categories
Necessary technologies make the site work: they remember your cookie choice, keep you signed in and let us take payment securely. They do not need your consent and cannot be switched off.
Analytics technologies tell us how the site and our tools are used. They are off unless you accept them.
Marketing technologies load third-party services that track visitors across websites, such as our contact form provider, or that measure and show advertising. They are off unless you accept them.

LinkedIn Insight Tag (for example bcookie, lidc, UserMatchHistory) | Marketing | Not currently in use. If we switch it on, it will load only after you accept marketing, to measure the results of LinkedIn advertising. | Set by LinkedIn, up to 1 year |
Google Tag Manager itself, the container that loads the Google tools above, does not set any cookies of its own.
Links to other sites
Some links on this site take you to pages run by someone else, for example HubSpot booking and form pages and our social media profiles. Those sites set their own cookies under their own policies, and nothing is set by them until you follow the link.
Withdrawing consent
Using “Cookie settings” to switch a category off stops it straight away, without reloading the page, and deletes the Google Analytics and HubSpot cookies from this site. You can also delete cookies in your browser’s settings; if you do, we will ask for your choice again.
