This Cookie Policy is issued by Anthony Best Dynamics Limited, trading as AB Dynamics ("we", "us", “our”). It explains what cookies are, how AB Dynamics uses them on this website, and how visitors can manage them. For details of how AB Dynamics handles personal data more broadly, see our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on a visitor's device when they visit our website if the visitor agrees. They help the website to work correctly and allow AB Dynamics to understand how visitors use it.
The law
Cookie use on this site is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (PECR). PECR was amended by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 which introduced a narrow exemption from consent for cookies used solely for first-party statistical purposes. AB Dynamics' non-essential cookies are set only with visitor consent, in line with this regulation and with UK GDPR.
Cookies AB Dynamics uses
AB Dynamics uses the following categories of cookie:
- Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the website to function properly, for example, to remember cookie preferences, support site security, and maintain the multi-language site. These cannot be opted out of.
- Analytics and performance cookies help AB Dynamics understand how visitors use its website so it can be improved, for example, which pages are visited most often and whether any errors occur. This may include technical information such as IP address and browsing activity, processed in accordance with AB Dynamics' Privacy Policy. These are only placed with a visitor’s consent.
- Functionality and targeting/advertising cookies are not currently used on this website beyond the items listed below. If that changes, this policy will be updated accordingly.

International transfers
Some of the providers above are based outside the UK. Google (Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google reCAPTCHA, YouTube) is a current participant in the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (the "UK-US Data Bridge"). Where a provider is not part of that framework, any transfer is instead protected by an International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or UK Addendum. AB Dynamics does not control third-party cookies directly; each provider's own privacy policy governs their data use.
Managing your preferences
On first visiting the website, visitors are asked to accept or decline non-essential cookies via AB Dynamics' cookie management tool. Preferences can be changed at any time using the privacy settings link in the Cookies Banner.
Cookies can also be controlled or deleted through browser settings. Visit allaboutcookies.org for guidance. However, disabling cookies may affect how the website functions.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before withdrawal.
