Cookies, Analytics and Advertising Measurement
This section applies to blucp.com and to ibtoolkit.eu, the Investment Banking Toolkit (IBT) website operated by Blu Capital Partners SRL. On both sites, a cookie banner asks for your choice before any analytics or advertising tool loads. Essential cookies, which the sites need to work, are always on.
You can choose:
- Necessary only. No analytics or advertising tools load.
- Analytics. We measure how the site is used with Google Analytics 4 and, on blucp.com only, Microsoft Clarity.
- Marketing. We also measure whether our LinkedIn and Google ads lead to visits, enquiries and IBT sign-ups, using the LinkedIn Insight Tag and Google’s advertising measurement.
You can change your choice at any time through the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of each site.
| Tool | Provider | Sites | Purpose | Loads with |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics 4 | Google Ireland Limited | blucp.com, ibtoolkit.eu | Page views, traffic sources and conversions such as form submissions and IBT sign-ups | Analytics consent |
| Google advertising measurement (Consent Mode) | Google Ireland Limited | blucp.com, ibtoolkit.eu | Telling which Google Ads clicks lead to a conversion | Marketing consent |

We do not send to these providers any financial figures, assessment answers or scores that you enter in the IBT, nor your name or email address. Microsoft Clarity does not run on ibtoolkit.eu.
We measure how visitors use the pages of this website with heatmaps.

You can refuse analytics, or change your choice in the cookie settings at any time; if you refuse, nothing is recorded.
When you create an IBT account, we store with it the campaign details of the link you arrived from (for example utm_source, utm_medium and utm_campaign) and, if you gave marketing consent, the Google or LinkedIn click identifier. We use them only to know which channel brought the account.
Google, LinkedIn and Microsoft may process data in the United States. These transfers rely on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses. You can read how each provider handles data in its own privacy policy: Google, LinkedIn and Microsoft.
Business Continuity
BCP has developed a Strict Business Continuity Plan (SBCP) as part of our ongoing contingency planning efforts to mitigate the impacts of business interruptions. Since the timing and impact of disasters and disruptions is unpredictable, we will have to be flexible in responding to actual events as they occur. With that in mind, we are providing you with this information on our business continuity plan.
BCP plans to quickly recover and resume business operations after an Important Business Disruption (IBD) and respond by safeguarding employees’ lives and firm property, making a financial and operational assessment, protecting the firm’s books and records, and allowing our customers to transact business. In short, our strict business continuity plan is designed to permit our firm to resume operations as quickly as possible, given the scope and severity of the significant business disruption.
Our business continuity plan addresses: data back up and recovery; all mission critical systems; financial and operational assessments; alternative communications with customers, employees, and regulators; alternate physical location of employees; critical vendor and bank impact; and regulatory reporting.
Significant business disruptions can vary in their scope. For example, an IBD affecting only our firm, the offices housing our firm, the business district where our firm is located, the city where we are located, or the whole region. Within each of these areas, the severity of the disruption can also vary from minimal to severe. In either situation, we plan to continue in business, and notify you through our web site www.blucp.com or our main phone number regarding how to contact us.
Our SBCP is reviewed periodically and subject to modification without notice. Updates to the plan summary will be posted on our web site.
