1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, smartphone, or tablet when you visit simplymortgages.co.uk. They help the website work properly and securely, provide us with anonymous analytical data, and let us remember your preferences for future visits.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Our website utilizes cookies categorized into two main groups:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the website to function. They handle standard website routing, secure forms against spam submissions, and remember your cookie consent preferences. Our site cannot function safely without these.
• Performance & Analytics Cookies: With your consent, we use Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager to see how visitors interact with our site. This helps us understand which pages are popular, identify errors you might encounter, and improve the user experience. All data collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore completely anonymous.

3. Our Cookie Banner Configuration (GDPR)

We use a GDPR-compliant consent manager. When you first arrive on simplymortgages.co.uk, you will be prompted to accept or reject analytics cookies. If you click 'Reject', or ignore the banner without clicking 'Accept', Google tracking scripts such as Analytics and Tag Manager are strictly disabled from firing on your device.

4. Third-Party Services

We may embed components from social media sites (such as LinkedIn or Facebook). Loading a page featuring these embedded platforms might result in third-party cookies being placed on your device by those services. Simply Mortgages (NW) Ltd does not control how these third-party platforms use your cookies.

5. How to Manage Cookies

Most modern web browsers allow you to control and delete cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to refuse all cookies or warn you when a cookie is being sent.

Please note that if you disable strict cookies at the browser level, certain features of simplymortgages.co.uk (like our contact forms or interactive calculators) may break or behave unexpectedly.
