Cookie Policy
This page explains how cookies and similar browser technologies are handled on UKHomeCosts.com.
Last reviewed: 1 September 2026.
Current site use
The core cost guides and calculators do not require an account or advertising cookie in order to work. Calculator form values are used for the interactive estimate and are not intended as a way to collect personal information. Hosting and security providers may use strictly necessary technical mechanisms to deliver, secure and diagnose the website.
Essential technologies
Essential storage or similar technologies may be used where necessary for security, network delivery, fraud prevention, consent preferences or a feature you request. Where a technology is strictly necessary, it is used for the relevant site function rather than advertising personalisation.
Analytics
If analytics is enabled, this policy will identify the service and the consent or control that applies. We do not label analytics cookies as active merely because analytics may be introduced later.
Advertising and Google AdSense
UKHomeCosts.com is intended to support advertising in the future, but advertising tags should only be enabled together with the required privacy disclosures and consent controls. Google advertising can use cookies, IP addresses and other identifiers for ad delivery, measurement, fraud prevention and, where permitted, personalisation.
For users in the UK, EEA and Switzerland, any Google advertising setup that requires consent will be paired with an appropriate Google-certified consent management platform before applicable advertising technology is loaded.
Your choices
When optional cookie-based services are enabled, the site will provide a consent interface where required so that you can make and revisit applicable choices. Browser settings can also be used to block or delete cookies, although blocking strictly necessary technologies can affect some site functions.
Policy updates
This policy will be updated when analytics, advertising or other optional technologies are actually enabled or materially changed. The review date above will identify the latest material revision.
