This Cookie Policy explains how BEE STORAGE LTD, trading as Bee Storage (“Bee Storage”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains more generally how we collect, use and protect personal information.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.
Cookies can perform a number of functions. Some are necessary for a website to operate correctly, while others help us understand how visitors use our website, measure the effectiveness of our advertising and improve our services.
Some cookies are set directly by Bee Storage. Others may be set by third-party services that we use, such as Google and Meta.
How we use cookies
Bee Storage uses cookies and similar technologies for purposes including:
- operating and securing our website;
- remembering your cookie preferences;
- understanding how visitors find and use our website;
- measuring website traffic and performance;
- measuring enquiries, bookings and other conversions;
- understanding the effectiveness of our advertising;
- supporting Google Ads and Meta advertising campaigns; and
- improving our website and customer experience.
Where required by law, non-essential cookies are only used in accordance with the choices you make through our cookie consent banner.
Cookie consent
We use WPConsent to manage cookie consent on our website.
When you first visit our website, you are given the opportunity to accept cookies, reject non-essential cookies or manage your preferences.
Cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation and security of the website may be used without consent. Other categories, such as analytics and marketing cookies, are controlled through the choices available in our cookie banner.
You can change your cookie preferences at any time using the cookie preferences option available on our website.
Types of cookies we use
Essential cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly and cannot normally be switched off.
These cookies may be used for purposes such as:
- website security;
- maintaining website functionality;
- remembering your cookie consent choices;
- maintaining sessions; and
- providing services that you specifically request.
Our cookie consent system may also store a cookie recording the choices you have made.
Statistics and analytics cookies
We use analytics technologies to understand how visitors interact with our website.
This can include information such as:
- pages visited;
- how visitors arrived at our website;
- approximate engagement with pages;
- website navigation;
- events and interactions;
- enquiries and booking activity; and
- technical information about the browser or device being used.
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) for website measurement and analytics.
The information collected helps us understand how our website is performing and where we can make improvements.
Google Analytics may use cookies including identifiers such as _ga and related Google Analytics cookies. The exact cookies detected on our website are listed below.
Advertising and marketing cookies
With your consent where required, we use advertising and marketing technologies to help measure and improve our advertising.
These technologies may be used to:
- measure whether an advertisement resulted in a website visit, enquiry or booking;
- understand the performance of our advertising campaigns;
- create advertising audiences;
- limit or improve advertising delivery; and
- provide advertising that may be more relevant to users.
We currently use services including Google Ads and the Meta Pixel.
Meta technologies may use cookies such as _fbp and other identifiers depending on how a visitor interacts with our website and Meta services.
Google advertising technologies may also use or access cookies and other identifiers depending on the visitor’s consent choices and browser settings.
Google Tag Manager
We use Google Tag Manager to manage certain analytics and marketing technologies used on our website.
Google Tag Manager helps us deploy and manage tracking tags. The services loaded or controlled through Google Tag Manager may themselves use cookies or similar technologies.
The use of those technologies is subject to the consent choices made through our cookie banner where applicable.
Google Consent Mode
Our website may use Google Consent Mode v2 alongside WPConsent.
Consent Mode communicates a visitor’s cookie choices to supported Google services, including Google Analytics and Google Ads.
Depending on our configuration and the visitor’s consent choices, Google tags may operate differently before and after consent is provided. Where consent for analytics or advertising storage has not been granted, the relevant Google consent signals remain restricted or denied.
This helps us respect the choices made through our cookie banner while maintaining appropriate website and advertising measurement.
Meta Pixel
We use the Meta Pixel, provided by Meta Platforms, to help us understand the effectiveness of advertising placed through Meta services such as Facebook and Instagram.
Where the appropriate consent has been provided, the Meta Pixel may help us understand actions taken after somebody views or interacts with an advertisement, such as visiting our website, submitting an enquiry or completing another relevant action.
Information collected through Meta technologies may be processed by Meta in accordance with its own privacy and cookie policies.
WordPress
Our website is built using WordPress.
WordPress and plugins used to operate the website may set essential or functional cookies. The exact cookies used can vary depending on the website functionality being accessed and the plugins currently installed.
Where a WordPress or plugin cookie is not strictly necessary, it will be handled in accordance with the visitor’s cookie preferences where required.
Booking services
When you choose to obtain prices, check availability or make a storage booking, you may be directed to our online booking system.
The booking system may use cookies and similar technologies necessary to provide the booking service, maintain a booking session, process your selections and measure the completion of bookings.
Where analytics or advertising technologies operate across our main website and booking service, their use remains subject to applicable consent requirements.
Payment providers or other third parties involved in completing a transaction may also use technologies necessary for security, fraud prevention and payment processing. Their processing may additionally be governed by their own privacy and cookie policies.

Persistent cookies – these remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them.
The length of time a particular cookie remains on your device depends on its purpose and the service that sets it.
