1. Our Minimalist Approach to Cookies

This site currently sets absolutely no advertising, retargeting, or profiling cookies of its own, and deploys no analytics cookies. If this operational stance changes, this policy will be updated to explicitly name the provider and the exact purpose before any new cookies are deployed.

Our interactive tools and calculators utilise your browser's `localStorage` facility — not cookies — to maintain your draft answers locally on your device. This data is structurally distinct from a cookie, is never transmitted to a web server, and remains entirely under your sovereign control.

3. Third-Party Partner Tracking

When you click through to a commercial partner such as Tide or Capital on Tap via a tracked link, the destination site or the intermediary tracking network may set its own cookies to accurately attribute the referral. These cookies are strictly controlled by the third-party partner, not by us, and their usage is governed entirely by the partner's respective cookie notice.

4. Managing Your Preferences

You retain full authority to control, block, or delete cookies via your browser settings at any time. Because the core functionality of this site (including all calculators and checklists) does not rely on cookies, aggressively blocking third-party cookies will not impair your ability to use our tools.
