Cookies and browser storage
Last updated 9 October 2026. Beaquaro Studio and Beaquaro Business.
This page is short on purpose. Beaquaro Studio and Beaquaro Business use one short-lived cookie and a few items in your browser’s storage, all of them needed to run the service. There is nothing optional to switch on or off, so there is no consent banner, only a notice.

What we do not use
No advertising cookies, no tracking pixels, no third-party analytics, and no cross-site tracking. We count visits and clicks on our public pages ourselves, with no cookies and no visitor ID, and we ignore “Do Not Track” and Global Privacy Control signals.
Other sites
When you connect Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, X, Bluesky or sign in with Google, you are on that company’s own page, which uses its own cookies under its own policy. Our separate product, Jobs & UK Life, has its own cookie policy.
Your control
You can clear cookies and site data in your browser at any time; you will be signed out and we will forget your theme. If we ever add anything optional, such as analytics that identify visitors, we will ask first, and this page will change before it does.
