- The provision of data through the contact form is voluntary, but necessary in order to obtain a reply; if you do not provide them, BirrUp may not be able to handle your request.

Cookie Policy – BirrUp (birrup.com)
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that websites visited by the user send to the user’s device, where they are stored and then sent back to the same sites upon subsequent visits. They can perform various functions, such as enabling technical features, remembering preferences, compiling statistics, or presenting personalised content and advertising.
2. Cookies used by BirrUp
BirrUp uses the following categories of cookies:
-
Strictly necessary (technical) cookies.
These cookies are essential for the correct functioning of the website and cannot be disabled in
BirrUp’s systems. They are usually set in response to actions made by you, such as adjusting
privacy preferences, logging in (if applicable), or filling in forms. -
Analytics cookies.
Subject to your consent, analytics cookies may be used to collect aggregated and anonymised or
pseudonymised information about how visitors use the website (e.g. number of visits, most viewed
pages, traffic sources). These cookies help BirrUp understand and improve the editorial content
and usability of the site, without using them to make individual automated decisions. -
Profiling and marketing cookies (only if used).
If in the future BirrUp uses advertising or remarketing services (e.g. advertising networks,
social media pixels), the relevant cookies will be used to profile users and show them advertising
messages based on their interests. Such cookies will be installed only with your prior consent;
if BirrUp does not use these services, this category will not be present. -
Third-party cookies and embedded content.
The website may contain content from third-party platforms (for example, embedded videos, social
media widgets, or external tools). These third parties may install their own cookies, which are
not controlled directly by BirrUp. For more details, please refer to their respective privacy and
cookie policies.
3. Cookie consent management
When you first access BirrUp, a banner informs you that the website uses cookies and allows you to:
- accept all cookies;
- reject cookies that are not strictly necessary;
- choose granular preferences by category (e.g. analytics, marketing).
Your choice is stored by the consent management tool, so that BirrUp can demonstrate that consent
has been obtained in accordance with GDPR requirements. You can change your preferences at any time
by clicking on Cookie settings available in the footer or in the banner re-open
button.
4. Managing cookies through your browser
In addition to the mechanisms offered by the website, you can manage cookies directly via your browser settings, for example to delete existing cookies or to prevent the installation of cookies from specific sites. Instructions are available in the help sections of the main browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, etc.).
Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the site and the quality of your browsing experience.
5. List of cookies and third-party services
The detailed and constantly updated list of cookies used on BirrUp is generated and maintained on this site via the Complianz plugin used as a consent management tool.
Within the plugin configuration, a table lists – for each cookie and service – at least:
- name of the cookie;
- provider (BirrUp or third party);
- purpose;
- type (technical, analytics, marketing, etc.);
- duration;
- possible transfers outside the EU.
For each external service, the plugin also provides a link to the relevant privacy and cookie
documentation of the provider (for example, Google Analytics, where applicable).
6. Updates to this cookie policy
This cookie policy may be updated in case of changes in the cookies used by the website, in the services implemented, or as a result of regulatory developments. Any changes will be published on this page; we therefore recommend that you consult it periodically.
