What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your browser on subsequent visits, remember certain preferences, and understand how the site is being used in general terms.
Most websites rely on at least some cookies to function. Bua Horology uses a small number of them for purposes described below. You can choose to limit which categories are active, though doing so may affect how some parts of the site work.
Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
Always active — required for the site to work
These handle the basics: storing your cookie consent choice, maintaining session state, and keeping the site secure. They cannot be switched off because the site depends on them.
- Cookie consent record
- Session security
Analytics Cookies
Help us understand how the site is used
Analytics cookies tell us which pages are visited most, how long people spend reading, and where visitors come from in general terms. No personally identifying information is collected. This helps us improve the site over time.
- Page view counts
- Approximate session duration
- Referral source (e.g. search engine)
Marketing Cookies
Used to understand advertising effectiveness
These cookies help measure whether any advertising we run reaches people who are genuinely interested in watch care. They may be placed by third-party advertising services and can be used to show you relevant content on other sites.
- Ad reach and frequency measurement
- Conversion tracking
Preference Cookies
Remember choices you've made on the site
Preference cookies remember small settings — such as whether you have dismissed a notice — so that repeated visits feel less repetitive. No login or account data is involved.
- Dismissed notice records
- Display preferences
Your Cookie Preferences
Use the toggles above to adjust which cookies are active, then save your choices below. Your selection is stored in your browser and does not require an account.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on this site are placed by external services rather than by Bua Horology directly. These may include:
- Google Analytics — anonymous usage statistics
- Google Ads — advertising performance measurement
- Meta (Facebook) — reach and conversion tracking for any social campaigns
- Microsoft Advertising — similar measurement for Bing-based campaigns
Each of these services has its own privacy documentation. Declining the relevant category above will prevent those cookies from being set.
How Long Cookies Last
Session Cookies
These exist only while your browser is open. They are deleted automatically the moment you close the tab or window. Typical use: keeping a form state intact while you complete it.
Persistent Cookies
These remain on your device until they expire or are manually removed. Durations vary: consent records typically last 12 months; analytics cookies may last from 30 days up to 2 years depending on the service.

Your Rights and Choices
You can withdraw or change your cookie preferences at any time using the controls on this page. Withdrawing consent for analytics or marketing cookies will not affect anything you have done on the site previously.
Disabling all optional cookies will not prevent you from using the site. However, it may mean that some small preferences are not remembered between visits.
If you have questions about how your data is handled more broadly, please see our Privacy Policy or write to us at [email protected]. We aim to respond within five working days.
