Cookie policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files a website saves on your device so it can remember information between visits. Under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), most cookies require your consent before they're set. Sites that don't set cookies don't need a banner.

Cookies set by ContractorMaths

None.

Why we don't need an analytics cookie

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts page views and top pages without setting cookies and without identifying individual visitors. There's nothing to consent to — it's aggregated and anonymous by design. See our privacy policy for more detail.

Calculator state in your URL

Some calculators serialise your inputs to the URL query string so you can share or bookmark a calculation. That is URL parameter data, not a cookie. It only ever lives in your browser's address bar.

What happens when you click an affiliate link

Affiliate links on ContractorMaths are clearly labelled with a “Partner link · paid recommendation” tag. When you click one, you leave our site and arrive at a partner site (or an affiliate network like Awin that immediately redirects you).

That partner site may set its own cookies, typically a tracking cookie that lets the partner attribute a future sign-up back to the click. Those cookies are governed by the partner's cookie policy, which you can usually find linked in their footer.

How to control cookies in your browser

Every modern browser lets you block third-party cookies, see what cookies a page has set, or clear all cookies for a specific site. The Information Commissioner's Office keeps a useful guide at ico.org.uk/your-data-matters/online/cookies.
