1. About this policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Bamboo Invest Limited (“Bamboo Invest”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website www.bamboo-invest.com (the “Website”). It should be read alongside our Privacy Notice, which sets out how we process your personal data more generally.
Bamboo Invest Limited (FRN: 1055521) is an Appointed Representative of Thornbridge Investment Management LLP (FRN: 713859) which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
By continuing to use our Website, or by accepting cookies through our cookie banner, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy, except for those that are strictly necessary and do not require consent.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve their efficiency, and to provide information to the website’s owners. Similar technologies such as pixels, tags and local storage perform comparable functions, and references to “cookies” in this policy include these technologies.
Cookies may be “session” cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or “persistent” cookies, which remain on your device until they expire or you delete them. They may be set by us (“first-party” cookies) or by third parties whose services we use (“third-party” cookies).
3. The legal basis for using cookies
Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), we may place strictly necessary cookies without your consent. For all other categories of cookie, we will only place them on your device where you have given your consent through our cookie banner. You can withdraw your consent at any time (see section 7).
4. Categories of cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies. These are essential for the Website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or completing forms. They do not require your consent.
Performance and analytics cookies. These allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Website. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular and how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site.
Functional cookies. These enable the Website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation, such as remembering your preferences. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.
Targeting and marketing cookies. These may be set through our site by us or our advertising and social media partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant content on other sites. They do not store directly identifiable information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and device.

6. Third-party cookies
Some cookies are placed by third parties providing services on our Website. These third parties may include analytics providers (such as Google) and social media platforms (such as LinkedIn). We do not control the setting of these cookies, and you should review the relevant third party’s own cookie and privacy policies. Links to the main providers’ policies are available on their respective websites.
We use Google Tag Manager to manage and deploy the tags used on our Website. Google Tag Manager is a tag-management system and does not itself collect personal data or set cookies by default; however, it loads other tags (such as Google Analytics) that may set cookies as described in the table above, and in certain configurations it may set cookies to limit the rate at which analytics requests are made. Tags are only fired in accordance with the consent preferences you have set. For more information, please refer to Google’s privacy policy.
7. Managing your cookie preferences
You can manage your preferences at any time:
Through our cookie banner or preference centre, accessible via the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of www.bamboo-invest.com, where you can accept or reject non-essential cookies.
Through your browser settings, which allow you to block or delete cookies. Most browsers let you refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent. The “Help” function in your browser explains how. Note that if you block all cookies, including strictly necessary ones, parts of our Website may not function correctly.
