Cookie Policy

Last Updated: September 5, 2026

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, remember your preferences, and understand how you use the service. This policy also covers similar storage technologies, such as browser local storage, that we use for the same purposes. This policy covers platformtaxhub.com and associated domains including platformincome.com and platformearners.com.

2. Regulatory Framework

This policy reflects the requirements of:

• The UK Data Protection and Digital Information Act 2024 (DPDI Act)
• The Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) as amended
• The EU ePrivacy Directive
• The UK GDPR and EU GDPR

3. Cookie Categories We Use

Strictly Necessary Storage (No consent required)These are essential for the website to function. Without them, you cannot log in, access your dashboard, or use secure areas.

• Session authentication cookies
• Security tokens (CSRF protection)
• Cookie consent preference storage (local storage)

Attribution & Referral Storage (Optional — requires your consent)If you select "Accept all" on our cookie banner, we store the following in your browser's local storage (not a cookie) solely to attribute your signup to the marketing campaign or referral/affiliate link that brought you to the site:

• UTM parameters, referrer, and landing page, captured on your first visit (first-touch attribution)
• Any affiliate or referral code present in the page URL (e.g. ?ref=), which may be shared with our affiliate-tracking system solely to credit the correct affiliate for a signup

This storage is never set if you select "Necessary only."

Payment Processing Cookies (Strictly necessary)Stripe sets cookies to process payments securely and prevent fraud. These are classified as strictly necessary for the payment service to function.

• Stripe session cookies
• Stripe fraud prevention cookies

4. Browser Extension Data (Not Cookies)

Our Chrome extensions do not set cookies on your device or on any website you visit. Instead, on install, the extension generates a randomly-generated anonymous identifier stored locally within the extension, and separately logs which domain, tool, and role was displayed to you. We do not collect your email address, browsing history, or the content of any page you visit through the extension. This data is used solely to improve the accuracy of tool suggestions and is retained for up to 26 months. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

5. Your Consent Choices

• Strictly necessary and payment cookies are set automatically — they are required for the service to function.
• Attribution & referral storage is only set if you select "Accept all" on the cookie banner. Selecting "Necessary only" means no UTM, referrer, or referral/affiliate data is stored in your browser.
• We do not run advertising or ad-personalisation cookies.

6. Managing and Deleting Cookies

You can set your browser to refuse all cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. Note that refusing strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in or using the dashboard.

To delete existing cookies: check your browser's privacy/security settings. Each browser handles this differently — consult your browser's help documentation.

7. Changes to This Policy

We update this policy when our cookie usage changes or when regulations are amended. The "Last Updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be communicated via a notice on the website.
