1. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file a website places on your device when you visit it, allowing the site to recognise your device, remember preferences and measure usage. "Similar technologies" include pixels, local storage and session storage — for simplicity we refer to all of them as "cookies" in this policy.
2. Your choices
You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise category by category. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled because the website cannot function without them.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time via "Manage my preferences" at the bottom of any page. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of prior processing.
3. Categories we use
3.1 Strictly necessary always on
Required for the website to function — security, session state, carrying your quote between the eligibility checker, calculator and application, and remembering your cookie choices. Never used for marketing.
3.2 Preferences optional
Remember choices such as your language to give you a smoother experience.
3.3 Statistics & analytics optional
Help us understand how visitors use the website so we can improve it, using aggregated, pseudonymised data wherever possible.
3.4 Marketing & retargeting optional
Measure advertising effectiveness and allow relevant ads on other platforms after you leave. Only set if you explicitly consent.

Exact names and lifetimes may change as we update our stack; the current list is always available via the "Manage my preferences" panel.
