What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. They allow the website to remember information about your visit — such as your preferences or whether you have already consented to cookies — so that you don't have to enter it again on your next visit. Cookies can be “session” cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (stored for a defined period).
How We Use Cookies
ZakaatCalculator.co.uk uses cookies in three categories:
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They include:
- cookie-consent — stores your cookie preference (essential only or accept all). Duration: 1 year.
- advanced-calc-v2 — saves your calculator progress in your browser so you don't lose data if you navigate away (localStorage, not a cookie). Duration: until you clear your browser data.
We use Vercel Analytics or Plausible Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. These tools use privacy-friendly, aggregated analytics and do not set third-party tracking cookies. No personally identifiable information is collected by our analytics. Duration: session.
We display Google AdSense advertisements on our guide and blog pages to fund the free service. If you consent, Google AdSense may set cookies to personalise ads based on your browsing behaviour. These are third-party cookies set by Google LLC, governed by Google's Privacy Policy. If you select “Essential only”, ads will be shown but not personalised (non-personalised ads). Duration: up to 13 months (as set by Google).
We comply with the IAB TCF v2.2 framework for ad personalisation consent.
Your Cookie Choices
When you first visit ZakaatCalculator.co.uk, a cookie consent banner is shown at the bottom of the screen. You can:
- Accept all — enables analytics and personalised advertising cookies.
- Essential only — only strictly necessary cookies are used. Ads are shown but not personalised.
You can change your cookie preference at any time by clearing your browser cookies and local storage for zakaatcalculator.co.uk, which will cause the consent banner to reappear on your next visit.
Managing Cookies in Your Browser
You can control and delete cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View cookies stored by websites
- Block cookies from specific websites
- Delete all cookies from your browser
- Set preferences for cookie acceptance
Note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of this and other websites. Your calculator progress (stored in browser localStorage) will be lost if you clear your browser data.
