Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

ToolHubX (we, us, or our) uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience on our website at toolhubx.uk. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, how we store your consent, and your choices regarding their use.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help us remember your preferences, improve site functionality, and analyze usage. We also use localStorage for similar purposes, such as persisting user data across sessions.

3. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

• Essential Cookies: Required for basic site functionality (e.g., saving expense lists locally via localStorage).
• Analytics Cookies: To understand how users interact with our site (e.g., Google Analytics with ID G-99DW6ZQWMT). These are only loaded if you consent.
• Preference Cookies: To remember your settings (e.g., tax year selection).

4. Cookies We Use

- Local Storage: Stores your expense list data (e.g., expensesList) and consent choice (e.g., cookieConsent) on your device.
- Google Analytics: Uses cookies (_ga, _gid, etc.) to track usage and performance. Data is anonymized and used to improve our services. See Google’s Cookie Policy.

5. Managing and Storing Your Consent

When you first visit, a banner prompts you to accept or decline cookies. Your choice is stored in localStorage as cookieConsent ('accepted' or 'declined') to persist across sessions and pages. Non-essential cookies (e.g., analytics) are only enabled if you accept. To revoke consent, clear your browser's localStorage or site data— the banner will reappear on your next visit. You can also manage cookies via browser settings or use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Disabling essential cookies may affect site functionality.
