Cookie policy

Last updated 29 August 2026. This page explains the cookies used on calcuit.co.uk. The privacy policy covers personal data more broadly.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. UK law (PECR) treats non-essential cookies as requiring a clear yes or no. On your first visit we show a banner with two equal choices: accept advertising cookies, or keep essential cookies only.

How to change your mind

Use Cookie settings in the footer, or the button below, to open the banner again. Choosing Essential only after you previously accepted reloads the page so the AdSense script is removed. You can also delete cookies for calcuit.co.uk in your browser.

Cookies on Calcuit
We use essential cookies to remember this choice and, if you sign in, to keep you signed in. Advertising cookies from Google AdSense are optional. They are not set, and the AdSense script is not loaded, unless you accept.
