Cookie policy
Last reviewed: 10 August 2026. This page is for general information only and is not legal, tax or financial advice.
This page explains what cookies are, which ones this website sets and why, and how you can control or delete them. We keep our use of cookies to the bare minimum: the calculators run in your browser and don't need cookies to work.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They let a website recognise your device, remember your actions and preferences, and generally improve your experience. "First-party" cookies are set by the site you're visiting; "third-party" cookies are set by other domains, for example advertising or social networks.
Control of cookies
When you first visit our website you'll see a cookie banner where you can choose to accept all cookies or essential cookies only. You can change or withdraw your preference at any time by returning to this page and using the "Manage your preferences" section below, or through your browser settings.
Cookie durations are either:
- Session cookies — temporary, and remain on your device until you leave our website.
- Persistent cookies — remain on your device for a set period until you delete them or they expire.
What cookies do we use?
Strictly necessary cookies
These are required for the site to function and to record your consent choice. They do not track you across other websites.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
ufat_consent | financeaccountancytools.co.uk | Stores your cookie consent choice so we don't ask again and so any future optional services respect your preference. | Strictly necessary | 12 months |
Analytics cookies
If you choose "Accept all" on the cookie banner, we use Google Analytics (a first-party, consent-based service from Google) to understand how visitors use the site — which pages are popular and how people find us. Analytics is switched off until you consent, and you can switch it off again at any time in the "Manage your preferences" section below. No advertising or social media cookies are used.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes visitors so we can measure page views and usage. | Analytics (set only with consent) | Up to 2 years |
_ga_GKG1HK1PGFJ | Google Analytics | GA4 session cookie that distinguishes visitors and tracks sessions. | Analytics (set only with consent) | Session |
We do not set any advertising or preference cookies, and we don't embed third-party widgets (such as social feeds or video players) that would set their own cookies.
Manage your preferences
Use the options below to set which categories of cookies are switched on. Your choice is saved automatically as a strictly necessary cookie on this device.
How to manage cookies in your browser
Most browsers let you control or delete cookies through their settings menus. The most common browsers are set out below:
| Browser | Where to find cookie settings |
|---|---|
| Google Chrome | Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data |
| Microsoft Edge | Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data |
| Safari | Settings → Privacy → Manage website data |
| Firefox | Settings → Privacy and security → Enhanced Tracking Protection → Custom |
Clearing cookies won't stop the calculators from working. If you disable cookies entirely, your consent preference won't be remembered and you may be asked again on your next visit.
Changes to this policy
We update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a new "last reviewed" date. For questions about this policy or our use of cookies, email [email protected].
