Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work properly, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners about how their site is being used.
Similar technologies include "session storage" and "local storage" — these work like cookies but are stored differently in your browser and are never sent to a server.
The Money Class website uses a minimal number of cookies and browser storage technologies. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. Below is a full list of what we use and why.
These technologies are essential for the website to function correctly. They cannot be switched off.

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are most visited and how long people stay. GA4 only loads if you click "Accept cookies" on our cookie banner. If you decline, no analytics cookies are set and no data is sent to Google.

We do not use:
Our website loads fonts from Google Fonts. When your browser requests a font, Google may log the request (including your IP address) in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy. We use the "preconnect" optimisation to minimise this data transfer.
Our website is hosted by Netlify. Netlify may set technical cookies as part of its infrastructure. You can read more in Netlify's Privacy Policy.
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Below are links to cookie management guidance for the most common browsers:
Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of this and other websites you visit.
Because we currently only use strictly necessary technologies (which do not require consent under UK GDPR and PECR), we do not display a cookie consent banner. If we introduce optional cookies in the future, we will update this policy and implement a consent mechanism before doing so.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Please review this page periodically to stay informed.
