Cookie Policy

Last updated: 15 January 2026

This page explains what cookies are, which ones OvertimeCalculator.uk may use, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember preferences, and to provide information to website owners and their advertising or analytics partners.

Cookies we may use

Strictly necessary cookies

Our calculators do not require login accounts or saved sessions, so we do not rely on strictly necessary cookies for core site functionality. The calculators run entirely in your browser using JavaScript, with no server-side storage of your inputs.

Analytics cookies

We may use a privacy-conscious analytics tool to understand overall visitor numbers and which pages and calculators are most useful, so we can improve the site. This data is generally aggregated and not used to identify you personally.

Advertising cookies

Where adverts are shown through Google AdSense, Google and its advertising partners may set cookies to serve adverts relevant to your interests and to measure how adverts perform. These third-party cookies are controlled by Google's own policies, not by us directly.

Managing cookies

You can control or delete cookies through your browser's settings. Most browsers allow you to see what cookies are stored, delete them individually or in bulk, and block cookies from specific or all websites. Because this varies by browser, check your browser's help documentation for exact steps. Blocking all cookies may affect how adverts are displayed but will not stop the calculators on this site from working, since they run locally in your browser.

Third-party advertising controls

You can manage how Google personalises adverts to you through Google's Ads Settings, and many advertising cookies can also be limited through industry opt-out tools operated by advertising trade bodies.

Changes to this policy

We may update this cookie policy from time to time. Please check back periodically for changes.
