Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Stamp Duty Calculator uses cookies and similar browser storage technologies when you visit this website, and how you can control them.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device through your browser. They allow a site to remember information about your visit, such as your preferences or previous actions, so that pages can function correctly or offer a more consistent experience the next time you visit. Similar technologies, such as browser local storage, work in much the same way and are covered by this policy.

2. How We Use Cookies

This site uses only essential cookies and storage values required for basic functionality, such as remembering your cookie-consent choice, your preferred colour theme (light or dark mode), and, where relevant, your last-selected calculator currency. No advertising or third-party tracking cookies are used, and we do not use cookies to build advertising profiles or sell data to third parties.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

Strictly necessary cookies. Required for the site to operate correctly — for example, to remember that you have dismissed the cookie notice. These cannot be switched off without affecting core functionality.

Preference cookies. Remember choices you make, such as light/dark theme or display currency, so you do not have to re-select them on every visit.

Analytics cookies (if enabled). Help us understand, in aggregate and anonymised form, how visitors use the site — for example, which pages or guides are most popular — so that we can improve the Service. These do not identify you personally.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some elements of the site, such as web fonts served via Google Fonts, are loaded from third-party domains. These providers may set their own cookies or log basic request information (such as IP address) in accordance with their own privacy policies, independent of Stamp Duty Calculator. We recommend reviewing the relevant third party's policy if you have specific concerns.

5. How Long Cookies Last

Some cookies are "session" cookies, which are deleted automatically when you close your browser. Others are "persistent" cookies, which remain on your device for a set period (or until you delete them) so that your preferences are remembered on your next visit.

6. Managing and Disabling Cookies

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies from specific or all websites, and to receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Because strictly necessary cookies support core functionality, disabling them may affect how parts of the site work — for example, your cookie-consent choice or theme preference may not be remembered between visits.

You can typically manage cookies through your browser's settings menu under "Privacy," "Security," or "Cookies." Consult your browser's help documentation for specific instructions, as the exact steps vary between browsers and devices.

7. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" signal. Because there is no industry-standard way to respond to these signals, our site does not currently change its behaviour when it detects one; however, as noted above, we do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies regardless of this setting.

8. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal and regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
