1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to website owners. Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device for a set period) or "session" (deleted when you close your browser).
2. How We Use Cookies
TaxYourSalary.com uses cookies and similar technologies for several purposes:
- To make our Site function properly (essential cookies)
- To analyze Site usage and improve our services (analytics cookies)
- To serve relevant advertisements (advertising cookies)
- To remember your preferences (preference cookies)
3. Types of Cookies We Use
3.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)
These cookies are necessary for the Site to function properly. They cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting privacy preferences or using features.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| cookie_consent | Stores your cookie consent preferences | 1 year |

3.2 Analytics Cookies

3.3 Advertising Cookies
These cookies are used by advertising partners (including Google AdSense) to deliver relevant ads and track ad campaign performance. They may be used to build a profile of your interests.
Before you make a choice, none of the cookies below are set. The site runs Google Consent Mode v2, which starts every advertising and analytics signal as denied and redacts ad click identifiers, so the ad code can load without storing anything on your device and without serving a personalized ad. They are only written once you press Accept all. The single exception is test_cookie, which Google's ad code sets on doubleclick.net purely to check whether your browser accepts cookies at all; it holds no identifier and is treated as strictly necessary.
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| test_cookie | Google DoubleClick | Checks whether your browser supports cookies. No identifier, strictly necessary | 15 minutes |
| __gads | Google AdSense | Serves personalized ads | 13 months |
| __gpi | Google AdSense | Publisher identifier | 13 months |
| DSID | Google DoubleClick | Ad serving and targeting | 2 weeks |
| IDE | Google DoubleClick | Ad serving and retargeting | 13 months |
