SimpleCompanyTax uses cookies to: authenticate users and prevent fraudulent use of user accounts; maintain your session while you prepare your tax filings; remember your preferences and settings; keep our platform secure and reliable.
3. Types of cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies — Required for the operation of our platform. They include cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our platform. Without these cookies, the services you have asked for cannot be provided.
Analytical / performance cookies — These let us recognise and count visitors and see how visitors move around our platform, so we can improve how it works. We use Google Analytics and Google Ads for this, which set cookies such as _ga and _ga_<property> (typically lasting up to 2 years). These are not strictly necessary and are only loaded and set after you give consent via our cookie banner: until you accept analytics, no Google Analytics or Google Ads tag loads and no such cookies are set. If you decline or later withdraw consent, we stop analytics and clear any analytics cookies already set.
Advertising-measurement cookies — When you accept, Google Ads may set cookies to measure whether a subscription resulted from one of our adverts (a conversion). These carry no tax, accounting, banking, or financial transaction data, and none are set before you consent. They typically last up to 90 days. You can withdraw consent at any time below.
