Cookie Policy

Last updated: 13 October 2026

This policy explains how ABA Procurement Ltd ("we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on abaprocurement.com, and how you can control them. Our [Privacy Policy] explains how we use any personal data collected through them.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as local storage and scripts that collect information from your browser, work in a similar way. In this policy, "cookies" covers all of them.

Some cookies are set by us (first-party). Others are set by the providers whose services we use, such as Google (third-party).

2. When we ask for your consent

  • Strictly necessary and security cookies are needed for the website to work and stay secure. The law does not require consent for these, so they are always on.

  • Functional cookies remember choices you make on the website, such as closing a notice. These are also set without consent, as the law allows, and you can clear them at any time through your browser.

  • Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website so we can improve it. We only set these if you click "Accept" on our cookie banner. If you click "Decline", they are not set.

We do not use advertising or social media tracking cookies.

Our website also loads fonts from Adobe Fonts. This doesn't set cookies, but your browser shares your IP address with Adobe to get the fonts.

Google Analytics data is processed by Google, which may transfer it to the United States. See our [Privacy Policy] for how this is safeguarded.

4. Managing your choices

You can change your mind at any time by clicking Cookie settings in the footer of any page. This reopens the cookie banner so you can accept or decline analytics cookies.

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the website, such as our forms, from working. Guidance for the main browsers:

To stop Google Analytics on every website you visit, you can install Google's opt-out browser add-on.
