Cookies and local browser storage

PaymentCardReader.co.uk does not currently use an analytics cookie banner, store an analytics-consent preference, or load analytics trackers through the site interface. We do not use non-essential cookies to build visitor profiles or to follow you across other websites.

Calculator figures are processed in your browser. They are not sent to us through the calculator interface. Standard technical information may still be processed by your browser, hosting provider, or security services when you request a page, as is normal for operating a website.

No analytics preference is stored

There is no analytics choice to accept, reject, or revisit because the site does not currently use that consent mechanism.

Third-party sites

Referral, provider and source links take you to third-party websites. Those sites have their own cookie and privacy practices, which we do not control. Review their notices before applying for a product, entering information, or accepting their cookies.

A referral URL may include a code identifying PaymentCardReader.co.uk as the source of the visit. It does not identify you personally to us. Any tracking operated by the destination site is governed by that organisation's own policies.

Your browser controls

You can review, clear, or block cookies and site data in your browser settings at any time. These controls are managed by your browser; clearing site data may remove saved local settings on this or other sites.
