Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 2026
1. What Data We Collect
The salary and tax information you enter into the calculator is processed entirely within your browser and is never transmitted to our servers. Your calculator inputs are saved in your browser's local storage so they are still there when you return; this stays on your device and you can clear it at any time in your browser settings.
If you accept analytics cookies (see below), Google Analytics also collects information about how you use the site: the pages you view, how you arrived, your device, browser and approximate location, and an anonymous identifier. It does not collect what you type into the calculator.
2. Cookies
We do not use any cookies that are strictly necessary for the site to work. We only set analytics cookies if you choose "Accept" on our cookie banner. If you choose "Reject", no analytics cookies are set.
- _ga and _ga_54YZLDM1YL (Google Analytics): used to distinguish visitors and sessions so we can count visits and see which pages are useful. They expire after up to 2 years.
You can change your mind at any time using the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of every page. Withdrawing consent stops analytics and removes the Google Analytics cookies from your browser. We ask again after 12 months.
3. Third-Party Services
With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4, provided by Google. We use Google's Consent Mode, which means Google tags are set to deny analytics storage until you accept. Google may process data in the United States and other countries; see Google's privacy policy for details. We do not use advertising services, and advertising and personalisation signals are always switched off.
Our legal basis for analytics is your consent (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(a) and PECR).
4. Your Rights
Under UK data protection law you have the right to access, correct or delete personal data held about you, to object to or restrict its processing, and to withdraw consent at any time. Because the analytics identifier is anonymous, we may not be able to link it to you, but please contact us at the address below with any request or question. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
5. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes.
