Cookie Policy
This policy explains how Berry & Vision uses cookie files on this website. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function properly and, in some cases, help the site operator understand how the site is used.
Last updated: 16 September 2026
Types of cookies we use
We may use session cookies, which are temporary and deleted when you close your browser, and persistent cookies, which remain on your device until they expire or you delete them. We do not use third-party advertising cookies. Any cookies used on this site are limited to site functionality and basic usage analytics.
Session cookies
These exist only during your visit. When you close the browser, the cookie file is removed from your device. Session cookies allow the site to maintain your activity — such as a produce guide you opened or a filter you applied in the supplier directory — as you move between pages.
Persistent cookies
These remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually. A persistent cookie might remember a preference you selected on a previous visit so you do not have to set it again. Each persistent cookie carries its own expiry date set by the site operator.
What we do not set
No advertising network cookies, no cross-site tracking cookies, and no profiling cookies used to build a behavioural profile for ad targeting. The site does not sell cookie-derived data to third parties.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies allow the site to remember certain choices you make, such as language preferences or form entries, so you do not have to re-enter information. These cookies are necessary for the site to work as intended. Disabling them may affect your experience.
Remembering selections you make while browsing the produce guides and supplier directory, so those choices persist as you navigate between pages.
Most functional cookies are session-scoped and are removed when you close your browser. A small number persist for up to 30 days if you choose a remembered preference.
The site will still load, but you may need to re-select a filter or re-enter a directory search term each time you open a new page.
Analytics cookies
If we use analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with the site, these tools may use cookies to collect anonymised data such as the pages visited and the duration of the visit. This data is aggregated and does not identify individual users. We use this information to improve the site's content and structure.
Analytics cookies help us understand which produce guides are read most often, which supplier directory pages receive traffic, and where visitors encounter broken links or dead ends. The aggregated data does not include your name, email address, IP address in identifiable form, or any detail that could single you out as an individual.
You can decline analytics cookies through your browser settings or through the cookie consent tool presented on first visit. Declining analytics cookies does not prevent you from reading guides, browsing the directory, or contacting suppliers listed on the site.
Managing cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or to alert you when a cookie is being set. If you disable all cookies, the site will still function, but some features may not work as expected. Instructions for managing cookies vary by browser; consult your browser's help documentation for details.
Steps you can take
- Open your browser's privacy or preferences panel and locate the cookies section. Most browsers group this under Privacy & Security in their settings menu.
- Choose whether to block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or allow cookies with a prompt each time one is set.
- Review and delete existing cookies stored on your device. Each browser names this differently — look for "site data", "cookies and site data", or "manage data".
- Check whether private or incognito browsing modes suppress cookies for the session. These modes do not clear previously stored persistent cookies.
Third-party cookies
We do not knowingly allow third parties to set advertising cookies on this site. If we embed content from third-party platforms in the future, those platforms may set their own cookies. We will review and update this policy if that changes.
Any third-party content that appears on a page — for example, a supplier's embedded contact widget or a shared produce photograph hosted on a content delivery network — is governed by that platform's own cookie policy. We cannot control cookies set by external services, and we recommend reviewing their policies directly if you interact with their embedded content.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
Material changes — such as introducing a new category of cookie, adding an analytics provider, or embedding third-party content that sets cookies — will be reflected in the section text and the revision date above. Routine edits to wording or formatting will not trigger a separate notice.
Cookie questions
Do I need to accept cookies to read the produce guides?
No. The berry and vegetable guides, the supplier directory, and the contact details listed on the site are all accessible without accepting cookies. Declining cookies may affect convenience features — such as a remembered directory filter — but not the core reading experience.
Does the site use advertising cookies?
No. The site does not set advertising cookies and does not allow third parties to set advertising cookies. Cookies are limited to site functionality and anonymised usage analytics.
How do I delete cookies that are already on my device?
Open your browser's privacy settings and look for the cookies or site data section. Most browsers offer a "clear data" or "manage site data" option that removes stored cookies in one step. The exact menu names differ between browsers, so consult your browser's help pages if you cannot locate it.
Will cookies track me across other websites?
No. Cookies set by this site are scoped to berryvision.info. They are not shared with advertising networks and are not used to follow your activity on other websites.
