What are cookies?

Moneyfactscompare.co.uk uses cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or other device by websites that you visit. We explain below which other companies use cookies on our website and what they use them for and lets how you can turn those other companies' cookies on or off.

Please note that third parties (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like website analysis services) may also use cookies, over which we have no control, although we may receive services from these third parties (including, for example, for targeted advertising purposes and website analytics). These cookies are likely to be performance cookies or targeting cookies (as described in this policy).

Necessary Cookies

Necessary cookies enable basic functions such as page navigation. These cookies allow a user to navigate between pages without losing the previous actions completed within a session. These cookies are required to make a website useable, and the site cannot function correctly without these so these cannot be disabled. We use cookies from Google and Cookiebot for this purpose.

Strictly necessary cookies do not collect any of your personal information.

Functional Cookies

Functional Cookies are used to enhance our website performance, remembering important information that changes the way that the website looks or behaves. Information collected by these cookies can include:

• Interface cookies which record display size, layout, or any theme preferences.
• Form data cookies, which save information for online forms such as contact forms that then autofill, or saving information if a connection is lost.

Functional cookies are not essential in a website running and are therefore not strictly necessary. We use cookies from Linked-In and YouTube for this purpose.

Functional cookies can be disabled on Moneyfactscompare.co.uk. Without them some website functions may not be available, however.

Performance Cookies

These cookies collect statistics about how visitors use a website, for instance which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from webpages. These cookies don’t collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how a website works. These will mainly be first party cookies, which we set ourselves, but could be set by third party websites. They may be session cookies or ‘persistent cookies’ that stay on your computer after your browsing session has finished.

Examples of how we use these cookies include:

• Monitoring and providing statistics on how our website is used.
• Helping us improve our website by measuring any errors that occur.
• Testing the website’s design and operability.
• To provide us with information about how the website is used so that we can make sure it is as up to date, relevant and error free as we can.

Targeting or Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website, and this information is shared with other organisations such as advertisers. Quite often targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organisation. This type of cookie will normally be set by third parties and will almost always be persistent. They will track you as you browse the internet.

Moneyfactscompare.co.uk does not perform targeted advertising on site. All advertising is displayed to all users with no targeting or personalisation. As the platform Moneyfactscompare.co.uk uses to provide generalised advertisements is also capable of targeted advertising we are required give the option to opt-out of advertising even though it is not targeted.

We use cookies from Awin, Microsoft, TvSquared, Adobe, Google and YouTube for this purpose.

Targeting / Advertising cookies can be disabled on Moneyfactscompare.co.uk.
