Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to the website's operators.

Cookies can be "session cookies," which are temporary and deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent cookies," which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually. Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by other parties are called "third-party cookies."

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage. This Cookie Policy covers all such technologies collectively referred to as "cookies."

Simple Budget uses cookies to ensure the website functions correctly and to understand how visitors interact with the site. We only place optional cookies after you have given your explicit consent through the cookie preferences panel accessible via the link in the bottom-left corner of every page.

Your cookie preferences are stored in a cookie named sbw_consent, which records which categories you have accepted or declined. This preference cookie is valid for 365 days from the date you set your preferences. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie preferences" link.

We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal information or to track you across websites that we do not operate.

Necessary Cookies (always active)

These cookies are essential for the website to function. They cannot be disabled because the site would not work properly without them. They do not collect any personally identifiable information. Examples include cookies that remember your cookie consent preferences and cookies that ensure the contact form functions correctly.

Analytics Cookies (require consent)

These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website by collecting anonymous data about page views, time spent on pages, traffic sources, and navigation paths. This information is used in aggregate form to improve the website's content and user experience. Analytics cookies are only placed when you explicitly consent to this category.

Marketing Cookies (require consent)

Marketing cookies may be used to deliver content relevant to your interests and to measure the effectiveness of any advertising or promotional activities. These cookies are only placed when you explicitly consent to this category. If you do not consent, you may still see general content on the site, but it will not be tailored based on your browsing behaviour.

Some cookies on this site may be set by third-party services that appear on our pages. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review.

The contact page of this site includes a Google Maps embed. Google may set cookies in connection with this embed. These cookies are governed by Google's Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. The Google Maps embed is loaded with privacy-preserving settings where possible.

We do not have control over third-party cookies and cannot guarantee how those third parties use the data they collect. If you prefer to prevent third-party cookies entirely, you can configure your browser settings to block all third-party cookies.

You have several ways to manage cookies on this site and in your browser:

Through our cookie preferences panel: click the "Cookie preferences" link in the bottom-left corner of any page on this site. The panel allows you to accept or decline each optional cookie category individually. Your preferences are saved and applied immediately.

Through your browser settings: most browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies through their settings or preferences menus. Consult your browser's help documentation for instructions specific to your browser. Note that disabling all cookies through your browser may affect the functionality of this and other websites.

Through opt-out tools: some analytics and advertising providers offer opt-out mechanisms through industry associations. These tools allow you to opt out of interest-based tracking across participating services.

Withdrawing consent or deleting cookies does not affect the lawfulness of any processing that occurred before the withdrawal or deletion.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as our use of cookies changes or as required by applicable law. The date of the most recent update is shown at the top of this page.

If we make significant changes to how we use cookies, we will update the cookie preferences panel to reflect those changes, and you may be asked to review and confirm your preferences again.
