The Rolling Bean

Cookie Policy

Last updated: 18 May 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how The Rolling Bean ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on therollingbean.co.uk (the "Site"). It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can control them.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, phone or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work, or work more efficiently, and to provide information to site owners.

  • First-party cookies are set by us (therollingbean.co.uk).
  • Third-party cookies are set by other parties whose services we use on the Site — for example, Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, or Vimeo.

We also use similar technologies (pixels, web beacons, local storage). For simplicity, this policy refers to all of them as "cookies".

2. Your consent

Under UK law — the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and the UK GDPR — we may only set non-essential cookies on your device with your consent.

When you first visit our Site, you will see a cookie banner allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking "Cookie settings" at the bottom of any page.

Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent because they are essential for the Site to work.

3. Categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary — Essential for the Site to function (e.g. security, page navigation). These cannot be switched off.

Analytics — Help us understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it. These collect information about pages visited, time on site, and similar.

Functional (embedded content) — Allow third-party content such as Vimeo videos to load and play correctly. Without them, embedded media may not work.

Marketing / advertising — Set by Google and other advertising partners. These may be used to measure ad effectiveness, build a profile of your interests, and show you relevant adverts elsewhere on the web.

Many of the third-party cookies on our Site are loaded via Google Tag Manager, which we use to manage tags such as Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and Google advertising/conversion tracking.

4. Cookies on our Site

The table below lists cookies that may be set when you visit. Names, providers and durations may change as third parties update their services.

5. Third-party services

Some cookies above are set by third parties when you visit our Site. We do not control these cookies — please refer to each third party's own policy for details:

6. How to manage your cookies

You can manage cookies in several ways:

  1. Our cookie banner — Use the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of any page to accept, reject or change which categories you allow.
  2. Your browser — Most browsers let you view, block and delete cookies. See the ICO's guidance on cookies or your browser's help pages.
  3. Opt-out tools

If you reject cookies, some parts of the Site (such as embedded videos) may not work as expected.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices. The "Last updated" date at the top shows when it was last revised.

8. Contact us

You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO):
