Cookie policy

We use a small number of cookies on stamp.expert. Cookies that the site needs to work are always on. Analytics and marketing cookies are only set if you accept them, and you can change your choice at any time.

This policy covers our website at stamp.expert. It doesn't cover the online check itself. The check uses only the cookies it needs to keep your session secure, save your answers and take payment, and it has its own short cookie notice.

What cookies are

Cookies are small files that a website stores on your device. Similar technologies, such as pixels, tags and local storage, work in much the same way, so in this policy "cookies" includes them too.

The types we use

• Essential: keeps the site secure, stable and working, including your cookie choices and our enquiry forms. Always on. The law allows these without consent.
• Analytics: tells us how many people visit, which pages they read and how they found us, so we can improve the site. Off until you accept.
• Marketing: tells us whether our LinkedIn adverts and campaigns lead to visits and enquiries. Off until you accept.

We don't currently use "functional" cookies, such as those that remember a language or layout preference. If we start to, we'll add them here.

Your choices

When you first visit, a banner asks whether you accept analytics and marketing cookies. You can accept all, reject all, or choose by type. Rejecting is as easy as accepting, and the site works the same either way.

To change your mind, click Cookie settings in the footer or the cookie icon on the page. If you withdraw consent, we stop setting those cookies. You can delete cookies already on your device in your browser settings.

Google offers a browser add-on to opt out of Google Analytics (tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout). You can also manage LinkedIn's use of your data in your LinkedIn advertising settings.

Who sees the data

Analytics and marketing cookies send data to Google and LinkedIn, which may process it in the US. See our Privacy notice for how we protect these transfers, and Google's and LinkedIn's own privacy policies for how they use the data.
