Cookie Policy
Understanding how we use cookies to keep our site secure and efficient.
Last updated: May 2026
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to support core functionality and to provide information to the operators of site. Similar technologies — including local storage, session storage and pixel tags — operate on the same principle and are covered by this Cookie Policy.
How we use cookies
ILR Calculator UK uses a small number of cookies and similar technologies to keep the Site fast, secure and useful. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels for ad networks, or third-party social media trackers.
Categories of cookies we set
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of the Site. They include, for example, cookies that remember your menu state on mobile, allow secure form submissions and maintain session integrity. You cannot opt out of strictly necessary cookies, although you can configure your browser to block them — doing so will affect Site functionality.
Performance and analytics cookies
These cookies collect anonymised, aggregate information about how visitors use the Site — for example, which pages are most popular, how long visitors spend on each page and how they navigate. We use this information to improve the Site. Analytics cookies are only set after you accept them.
Functionality cookies
These optional cookies remember preferences such as your last-selected calculator route, so you do not have to re-enter it on each visit. They are not used for tracking and never carry personally identifiable information.
Third-party cookies
We do not knowingly set advertising or social media tracking cookies. Where we use a third-party service (such as a privacy-friendly analytics provider), we configure it to anonymise IP addresses and to retain data for the minimum period necessary.
Managing your cookie preferences
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. The exact steps depend on your browser:
- Google Chrome Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data.
- Mozilla Firefox Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
- Apple Safari Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
- Microsoft Edge Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies.
For general guidance on cookies and how to manage them across browsers, visit aboutcookies.org. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect Site functionality.
Do Not Track signals
Some browsers transmit a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. There is no industry-wide standard for how websites should respond. Where DNT is enabled in your browser, we do not set non-essential cookies until you explicitly opt in.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in applicable law. The “last updated” date at the top will reflect the most recent revision. Material changes will be highlighted on the Site for at least 14 days.
