cookie policy
We like our cookies the same way we like our drinks. Transparent. And yes, they are zero carbs.
This page explains what cookies are, why besa uses them on our UK site, and how you can stay in control.
What's a cookie, anyway?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They're not spies. They can't access your camera, read your messages, or judge your search history. All a cookie does is help a site remember things, like what's in your basket or whether you've already confirmed you're of legal drinking age.
Why besa uses cookies.
We use cookies to:
keep our site running smoothly and securely
remember your preferences, like age verification and market (United Kingdom, United States, or Australia), so you're not re-entering the same info every visit
Understand how people move through our site, so we can make it better
Measure how our marketing is performing, including which campaigns you arrived from
Serve you content, ads, and products that you will actually love, instead of random irrelevant noise3. The types of cookies we use
The cookies we use.
Strictly necessary cookies
These keep the lights on. They let you browse securely, verify your age, and use core site features like navigation and forms. The site can't function properly without them, so they're on by default and can't be switched off through our consent tool. You can still block them via your browser settings, but parts of the site may stop working.
Performance and analytics cookies
These help us understand how visitors use drinkbesa.co.uk, including which pages get love and which get scrolled past. We use this info to fix what's broken and build more of what works. Data collected here is aggregated and doesn't identify you personally.
Functional cookies
These remember choices you've made, like market, currency, or language, so your next visit feels tailored rather than generic and you will be able to read it. Even our US site has different English spelling.
Targeting and advertising cookies
These track your visit across our site and, sometimes, others, to build a picture of your interests and ow you got here. We use this to show you besa content worth seeing, and to measure how our campaigns are performing. These cookies may be set by us or by third parties.
First-party vs third-party cookies.
First-party cookies are set by besa directly. Third-party cookies are set by services we work with, like analytics providers, payment processors, and advertising or social platforms. Those third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, worth a look if you want the full picture of how they use data.
How long cookies stick around.
Some cookies are session cookies, gone the moment you close your browser. Others are persistent cookies, sticking around anywhere from a few days to a couple of years, or until you delete them manually.
Your choices.
When you land on drinkbesa.co.uk, you'll see a cookie banner where you can accept all, reject non-essential cookies, or customise by category. Change your mind anytime by revisiting your cookie settings below.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings, most browsers let you block or delete cookies entirely. blocking strictly necessary cookies may break parts of the site, so no promises on the experience if you do.

Other tracking tech.
Alongside cookies, we may use similar tech like pixels, web beacons, and local storage, which work in comparable ways to help us run and improve our site. This policy covers those too.
Changes to this policy.
We may update this policy from time to time, whether that's because the law changes or because we change how we use cookies. Updates will be posted here with a new effective date, so it's worth a glance every now and then.
