This page explains, specifically, what cookies this site uses. For the broader picture of what information is collected and why, see the Privacy Policy. This page just covers the mechanics of cookies.
A cookie is a small text file a website stores on your device to remember something between visits or page loads, like whether you've seen a message, or to help measure traffic. Cookies on this site don't identify you by name and aren't used to build a personal profile beyond what's described below.
| Type | Purpose | Set by |
|---|---|---|
| Analytics | Counts visits and page views, in aggregate, to understand which content is useful. Doesn't identify you individually. | Google Analytics (GA4) |
| Advertising | Used by Google and its advertising partners to show ads, potentially based on your browsing activity across sites. | Google AdSense |
There are no login cookies, no shopping cart cookies, and no first-party tracking beyond the analytics above, this site doesn't have accounts. The calculators (FIF, PIR, KiwiSaver fees, platform comparison) don't use cookies at all; they run entirely in your browser and don't store anything about your inputs.
If the cookies used on this site change, for example a new analytics tool or ad format, this page will be updated and the date above will reflect it.
For anything not covered here, see the Privacy Policy or get in touch via the Contact page.
This page covers cookies only. It isn't financial advice, see the Disclaimer for the full position on that.
