Cookie Policy

When you return to the site, the browser sends those files back, so the site can recognise your session, remember your preferences or measure how pages are used. Similar technologies - such as local storage, session storage and small tracking pixels - work in comparable ways, and this policy covers them all under the general term “cookies”.

A cookie generally contains the name of the site that set it, a value (often a random identifier) and an expiry date. Cookies cannot read other files on your device and are not programs.

Branson Capital uses cookies to keep the website secure and functional, to remember the choices you make, to understand which pages are useful, and - where you have agreed - to measure the performance of our marketing. Strictly necessary cookies are set as soon as you open the site because the site cannot work without them. All other categories are only activated after you give consent, and you may withdraw that consent at any time.

Strictly necessary cookies

These keep the site usable: they maintain your session while you move between pages, balance traffic across servers, protect forms against automated abuse and remember the cookie choices you have already made. They do not build a profile of you and cannot be switched off through our banner, because without them core functions such as signing in would fail.

Preference (functionality) cookies

These remember the settings you choose - for example the interface language, a region, a display preference or whether you have dismissed an informational notice. They make the site more convenient but are not essential; if you refuse them, the site still works and simply asks for your preferences again on each visit.

Analytics (performance) cookies

These allow us to track page visits, identify which content is viewed, measure duration of user sessions, and detect where technical issues arise. The data we collect is presented in aggregate form: it shows us whether a page attracts many visitors or performs slowly, but does not identify individual users. We apply this information to resolve technical issues and enhance the website's organization.

Marketing (advertising) cookies

These record that you arrived from a particular campaign or advertisement, help avoid showing you the same message repeatedly, and measure whether a campaign led to a sign-up. They may be read by advertising partners on other websites. They are only set with your explicit consent.

Session cookies exist only while your browser window is open and are erased automatically when you close it. Persistent cookies remain until their expiry date or until you delete them; on this site their lifetimes range from a few days to roughly two years, depending on the purpose. The exact expiry of an individual cookie can always be inspected in your browser’s storage settings.

We store documentation of your consent preferences for a set timeframe to prevent the banner from appearing with every page load; once this timeframe expires, your consent will be requested anew.

Third-party service providers working under our direction set certain cookies, such as those specializing in web analytics, content distribution, security, or promotional effectiveness. When you browse other websites utilizing these same services, these providers may access their own cookies. We do not manage third-party cookie content; the handling of collected data falls under their respective privacy and cookie policies.

Non-essential third-party cookies are deployed solely upon receipt of your affirmative consent via the cookie notification interface. Should you request information regarding the vendors presently utilized, please reach out to our support team, and they will furnish you with current particulars.

Through our banner

Use the cookie banner or the cookie settings link on the site to accept or reject the preference, analytics and marketing categories. Rejecting a category stops new cookies of that type from being written; cookies already stored can be cleared through your browser.

Through your browser

Most widely-used browsers provide functionality to display saved cookies, remove them one at a time or in bulk, prevent cookies from particular domains, prevent all third-party cookies, or clear all data automatically upon browser closure. These settings are typically located in a menu labeled "Settings", followed by "Privacy", "Privacy and security", "Site permissions" or "Cookies and site data". Mobile browsers include equivalent features accessible through their settings options, while mobile operating systems offer independent settings to manage advertising identifiers.

Private browsing

Opening the site in a private or incognito window means most cookies are discarded when you close that window, though this does not prevent them from being set during your visit.

Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent parts of the site from working: you may be unable to stay signed in, submit a form or complete a secure step. Blocking preference cookies means settings such as language are not remembered. Blocking analytics or marketing cookies has no effect on functionality - you will simply not be counted in our statistics and campaign measurement.

This policy is reviewed on a regular basis and revised whenever there are changes to the cookies employed, the underlying technologies, or relevant regulations. The latest version is always accessible on this page; any significant modifications will be communicated via the site or through the cookie banner, and your continued use following such an update indicates acceptance of the modified policy.

If you have a question about this policy, want details of a specific cookie or wish to exercise a data-protection right, please write to our support team through the contact page. Related documents are listed in the footer of every page, including our Privacy Policy.
