Cookie Policy
Understand how BS Global Bridge uses cookies to improve your browsing experience and analyse website performance.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how BS Global Bridge (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses them on bsglobalbridge.com (the “Website”), and the choices you have regarding their use. By continuing to browse or use our Website, you acknowledge the use of cookies as described in this policy.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, improve user experience, and provide analytical information to website operators.
Cookies may be “session cookies” (which are deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent cookies” (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them). Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (“first-party cookies”) or by third-party services operating on that website (“third-party cookies”).
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We use a limited number of cookies on our Website, categorised as follows:
2.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)
These cookies are required for the basic functionality of the Website. They enable core features such as session management, security, and remembering your preferences. Without these cookies, certain parts of the Website may not function correctly.

2.2 Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics (implemented via Google Tag Manager, container ID: GTM-WC9MM8H4) to collect aggregated, anonymised data about how visitors interact with our Website. These cookies help us understand user behaviour, identify popular content, and improve the Website experience.

Note: We do not use any advertising, remarketing, or social media tracking cookies (such as Meta Pixel / Facebook Pixel) on this Website. No cookie data is used for targeted advertising purposes.
3. Google Analytics
Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. We use it to understand how visitors engage with our Website so we can continually improve our content, services, and user experience.
Information collected by Google Analytics includes:
- Pages visited and navigation paths through the Website
- Time spent on each page and overall session duration
- Referral sources (how you arrived at our Website)
- Device type, browser, operating system, and screen resolution
- Approximate geographic region (city or country level, not precise location)
- Language preference settings
This data is collected in an aggregated and anonymised form. We do not use Google Analytics to collect personally identifiable information (PII). IP anonymisation is enabled, meaning your full IP address is not stored.
Google may process this data on servers located outside India. For more information about how Google handles data, please review the Google Privacy Policy and the Google Analytics Data Safeguards.
You may opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Apart from the Google Analytics cookies described above, our Website does not set any third-party cookies. We do not use:
- Meta Pixel (Facebook Pixel) or any social media tracking pixels
- Advertising or remarketing cookies
- Affiliate tracking cookies
- Payment gateway cookies (we do not have an online payment gateway)
Our Website includes a WhatsApp inquiry button that redirects you to the WhatsApp application or web interface. This redirection does not set cookies on our Website; however, WhatsApp’s own platform may use cookies governed by their own privacy policy.
If we introduce any additional third-party cookies in the future, this Cookie Policy will be updated accordingly.
5. How to Manage Cookies
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can choose to block or delete cookies at any time. Below are links to cookie management instructions for popular browsers:
- Google Chrome: Manage cookies in Chrome
- Mozilla Firefox: Manage cookies in Firefox
- Apple Safari: Manage cookies in Safari
- Microsoft Edge: Manage cookies in Edge
On mobile devices, you can manage cookies through your device’s browser settings or through the settings of individual applications.
To opt out of Google Analytics specifically, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on available for most major desktop browsers.
6. Impact of Disabling Cookies
If you choose to disable or delete cookies, please be aware of the following:
- Essential cookies: Disabling these may prevent certain features of the Website from functioning correctly, including form submissions (Contact Us, Book Free Consultation, Free Assessment) and session management.
- Analytics cookies: Disabling these will not affect your ability to use the Website. However, it will prevent us from understanding how visitors interact with our pages, which we use to improve our services.
Disabling cookies does not prevent you from accessing or browsing our Website. Core content — including information about our services, destinations, and consultation booking — will remain fully accessible.
7. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our use of cookies, changes in applicable regulations, or updates to our Website functionality. When we make significant changes, we will update the “Effective Date” at the top of this page.
