Cookie Usage Policy

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember information about your visit. At ysalorapheon.com, we use various tracking technologies including cookies, web beacons, and local storage to enhance your experience while using our financial comparison platform.

These technologies serve different purposes — some are absolutely necessary for the website to function properly, while others help us understand how users interact with our platform so we can make improvements. We also use tracking tools to provide personalized content and relevant information about financial products and services.

When you visit ysalorapheon.com, our tracking technologies work behind the scenes to create a smoother, more relevant experience. For instance, if you're comparing mortgage rates, our system remembers this interest so we can show you the most current rates and relevant lender information during your session.

• Personalized financial product recommendations based on your browsing patterns
• Faster loading times by remembering your preferences and settings
• Security features that detect unusual activity and protect your account
• Improved search results that learn from what you find most helpful
• Content optimization that ensures you see the most relevant financial information

Our analytics help us understand which comparison tools are most valuable to users. If we notice that many people are using our loan calculator but having difficulty with a particular step, we can refine that process to make it more intuitive.

Different types of cookies have different lifespans. Essential cookies typically last only for your current session, automatically deleting when you close your browser. Preference cookies might last for several months so you don't have to reset your preferences each visit.

Analytics cookies generally expire after two years, while marketing cookies may last anywhere from 30 days to two years depending on their specific purpose. You can view and delete cookies at any time through your browser settings.

Beyond cookie management, you have rights regarding your personal data under UK data protection regulations. This includes the right to access what data we hold about you, request corrections to inaccurate information, and in certain circumstances, request deletion of your data.

Every web browser offers built-in tools for managing cookies. You can typically find these settings in your browser's privacy or security section. Most browsers allow you to block all cookies, accept only certain types, or get prompted each time a website wants to set a cookie.
