Cookie policy
What each cookie category is for, and how to change your mind.
Last updated August 13, 2026
A cookie is a small file a site asks your browser to keep. This page lists what The Credit Question uses them for. You can change your mind at any time from cookie settings.
Categories we use
| Category | What it does | Runs without consent? |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Remembers your cookie choice so the banner does not reappear, and keeps the contact form safe from automated abuse. | Yes — the site cannot work without it. |
| Measurement | Counts page views and tells us which articles are read, in aggregate. | No. |
| Advertising | Limits repeat adverts and measures whether an advert led anywhere. Used for personalised advertising. | No. |
Your choice is stored locally
Your answer to the banner is kept in your browser's local storage under the key consent.v1. It never leaves your device, and clearing your browser data clears it.
Global Privacy Control
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal we treat it as a choice of "Necessary only" and do not show you the banner.
Turning cookies off entirely
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies from its settings. Blocking necessary cookies will make the banner reappear on every page, but nothing else on the site will break.
