Our short version
We use a small number of strictly-necessary cookies. We do not use marketing or advertising cookies. Our analytics tool sets no cookies and collects no personal data.
Strictly necessary cookies (always on)
| Cookie | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
session |
Keeps you signed in; carries your selected lenders across the picker → register flow | Browser session (or up to 8 hours) |
remember_token |
Set only if you tick "Remember me" on sign-in | 14 days |
csrf_token |
Protects forms against cross-site request forgery | Browser session |
cookie-consent |
Remembers your cookie banner choice so we don't ask again | 1 year |
These are required for the site to function. They do not track you across other websites and they do not collect data for marketing purposes. Under the UK PECR rules, strictly-necessary cookies do not require consent.
Analytics — privacy-first
We use a privacy-respecting analytics tool to understand how the service is used (which pages people visit, where they drop off in the SAR flow, what device they're on). This tool:
- Sets no cookies
- Collects no personal data
- Does not share data with advertisers or third parties
- Does not track you across other websites
Because no personal data and no cookies are involved, no consent interruption is required under UK GDPR or PECR.
What we do NOT use
- Google Analytics
- Facebook / Meta Pixel
- X / Twitter conversion tracking
- LinkedIn Insight Tag
- Cross-site behavioural advertising
- Heatmap / session-recording tools that capture form input
Managing cookies in your browser
You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings. Note: blocking strictly-necessary cookies will prevent SARTastic from working (you won't be able to sign in or submit forms).
See our Privacy Policy for the full picture of how we handle your data.
