What cookies UKMinimumWage.co.uk uses, and how to manage or opt out
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the website owner about how visitors use the site.
Cookies cannot run programmes or deliver viruses to your computer. Each cookie is unique to your web browser. Cookies may be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device until they expire or you delete them).
Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR, we are required to tell you about the cookies we use and to obtain your consent before setting non-essential cookies on your device.
These cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as your cookie consent preference. Without these cookies, certain parts of the site would not work correctly. They do not track browsing across other websites.
These cookies collect anonymised information about how visitors use the website — for example, which pages are visited most often and whether error messages are encountered. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We use Google Analytics 4 for this purpose.
These cookies are set through our site by our advertising partner, Google AdSense. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They work by uniquely identifying your browser and device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will still see advertisements but they will be less relevant to your interests.
Cookie names and durations may vary. Third-party providers such as Google may update their cookies without notice. This table reflects our best understanding as of the last updated date.
Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. We use it to analyse how visitors use our website. Google Analytics places cookies on your browser to collect information about how you interact with our site, including pages visited, time spent, and the source of your visit. All data is anonymised — individual visitors cannot be identified.
The data collected by Google Analytics is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers that may be located outside the UK. Google is subject to the UK-US Data Bridge framework and uses standard contractual clauses to ensure lawful data transfers.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy
We display advertisements on this site through Google AdSense, which is operated by Google LLC. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites. These are "interest-based" or "personalised" advertisements.
Google AdSense may share data with other Google services and advertising partners. Advertising cookies require your explicit consent under PECR. If you have declined advertising cookies, you will still see advertisements, but they will be non-personalised (based on the content of the page, not your browsing history).
You can control your Google ad personalisation preferences at any time: adssettings.google.com.
For more information about how Google uses data when you visit partner sites: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
You have several options to control, manage and delete cookies:
Install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on to prevent your data being collected by Google Analytics on any website: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
Manage whether Google uses your data to serve personalised ads by visiting: adssettings.google.com. You can also opt out of interest-based advertising from many companies through the Your Online Choices tool.
The Internet Advertising Bureau (IAB) offers a tool to opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies: youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices. This does not stop you seeing adverts, but they will be less targeted.
Using your browser's private or incognito mode means cookies are not stored after you close the window. This can help prevent tracking but does not block cookies during the session itself.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or changes in applicable law. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will always show when the policy was last revised. We encourage you to check this page periodically.
