Cookie Policy
Last updated September 30, 2025What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Bas 1 Embroidery & Printing Limited) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).
Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use first- and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate — we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our website. Third parties serve cookies through our website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.
How Can I Control Cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager, which can be found in the notification banner and on our website. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.
If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas may be restricted. You may also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies.

In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. For more information, visit the Digital Advertising Alliance or the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance.
What About Other Tracking Technologies?
Cookies are not the only way to recognise or track visitors to a website. We may also use web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs") — tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognise when someone has visited our website or opened an email. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
Do You Use Flash Cookies or Local Shared Objects?
We may also use "Flash Cookies" (Local Shared Objects or "LSOs") to collect and store information about your use of our services and for fraud prevention. If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash Cookie storage using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel.
Do You Serve Targeted Advertising?
Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details, or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide these.
How Often Will You Update This Cookie Policy?
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed. The date at the top of this page indicates when it was last updated.
