The short version
We use the cookies Badger Commerce needs to work: to know which shop you're visiting, to keep your basket and sign-in, and to keep the platform secure. These don't need your consent.
On www.bdgr.co.uk we also use Google Analytics to count visits, but only if you say yes. Our cookie banner asks first, and you can change your mind at any time from the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page. We don't use advertising cookies.
This policy covers www.bdgr.co.uk, the admin that shop teams use, and the sign-in pages at auth.bdgr.co.uk. Shops that run on Badger Commerce set the same essential cookies, and may add their own analytics: each shop's own cookie policy explains what it uses.
