Cookie Policy
Last updated: 14 February 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Alenzo Collective B.V., trading as Bowie, uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on meetbowie.com. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Notice.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide information to the site owners, and to enable certain features. Cookies can be "first-party" (set by the website you're visiting) or "third-party" (set by a different domain).
2. How we use cookies
We use Google Tag Manager (GTM) as our tag management platform. GTM itself does not set cookies or collect personal data — it is a container that loads other tags (such as Google Analytics 4) which may set cookies. Currently, the following tags are deployed through our GTM container:
Google Analytics 4 (GA4)
We use GA4 to understand how visitors interact with our platform. GA4 collects anonymised usage data to help us improve our tools and user experience. GA4 uses the following cookies:

4. Cookie categories
Strictly necessary
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually only set in response to actions you take, such as setting your language preference. Our platform currently does not set any first-party cookies in this category.
No consent required.
Analytics / Performance
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
Based on legitimate interest. You can opt out as described below.
Marketing / Advertising
These cookies may be set through our site by advertising partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. We do not currently use marketing cookies, but may introduce them in the future via our advertising platform (Google Ad Manager). If introduced, these will only be loaded with your explicit consent.
Consent required before placement.
5. Your consent & Google Consent Mode
We respect your choices regarding cookies. Our platform is configured with Google Consent Mode v2, which allows Google tags to adapt their behaviour based on your consent preferences. When you have not given consent for analytics cookies, Google tags will operate in a limited, cookieless mode that does not store cookies on your device but may still send anonymised, aggregated pings to help us understand basic traffic trends. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time.
6. Managing and deleting cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Here are links to instructions for the most common browsers:
You can also opt out of Google Analytics specifically by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on:
Google Analytics Opt-out Add-onPlease note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of our platform. Some features may not work as intended if cookies are blocked.
7. Third-party cookies
Some cookies on our platform are placed by third parties (such as Google). We do not control these cookies. For more information about how these third parties use cookies, please refer to their respective privacy policies. Google's privacy policy can be found at policies.google.com/privacy, and their information on how Google uses cookies is available at policies.google.com/technologies/cookies.
8. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting. There is currently no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. We respect DNT signals to the extent technically feasible within our analytics setup.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The updated policy will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
