In plain English

Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit a website. We use a small number of cookies to make our site work properly and to understand how it is being used. You can control non-essential cookies at any time — see Section 6 for how.

Section 1

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet or mobile phone when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work correctly, work more efficiently, and to provide information to the owners of the site.

Cookies are not harmful. They cannot install software, carry viruses or access information on your hard drive. A cookie simply stores a small amount of data — such as a preference you've set, or whether you've visited the site before.

This website is governed by the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR, which require us to tell you about the cookies we use and to obtain your consent for any non-essential cookies.

Section 2

How we use cookies

We use cookies on mortgageresources.co.uk for the following purposes:

  • To remember your cookie consent preferences so we don't ask you every visit
  • To ensure the website functions correctly across different browsers and devices
  • To understand how visitors navigate and use our site, so we can improve the content and user experience
  • To load third-party resources such as fonts that are required for the site to display correctly

We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal information, and we do not sell data collected via cookies to any third party.

Section 3

Types of cookie we use

Cookies can be categorised by their purpose and by how long they last. Here is an overview of the categories relevant to this website.

Cookies are also defined by duration:

  • Session cookies — temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser
  • Persistent cookies — cookies that remain on your device for a set period, or until you delete them manually
Section 4

Cookies we use on this website

The following table lists the specific cookies currently in use on mortgageresources.co.uk.

Note on analytics

If you have not yet connected Google Analytics to this website, the _ga, _gid and _gat cookies will not be present. This table reflects cookies that may be set once analytics is configured. We will only activate analytics cookies for users who have given consent via the cookie banner.

Section 5

Third-party cookies

Some cookies on our website are set by third-party services rather than by us directly. We have no control over these cookies, but we only use third-party services that we trust and that operate in accordance with applicable data protection law.

For full details of how Google uses data when you use our website, see How Google uses information from sites that use our services.

Section 6

Your choices

When you first visit mortgageresources.co.uk, a cookie consent banner will appear giving you the option to accept or decline non-essential cookies.

  • Accept All — allows us to set essential and analytics cookies
  • Decline — only essential cookies will be set; no analytics or functional cookies

You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site — the consent banner will reappear. Alternatively, contact us at [your@email.com] and we will reset your preferences.

Your right to withdraw consent

Under UK PECR and UK GDPR, you have the right to withdraw consent to non-essential cookies at any time. Withdrawing consent will not affect any processing that took place before withdrawal, but we will stop placing those cookies going forward.

Section 7

Changes to this Cookie Policy
