Cookie Policy
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve efficiency, and to provide information to website owners.
Cookies do not give us access to your device and cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses. They simply allow us to recognise your browser and remember certain information about your visit.
2. How We Use Cookies
Top Voucher Codes (www.top-voucher-codes.co.uk) uses cookies to:
Ensure the Site works correctly and securely
Understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it
Track referrals to our merchant partners through affiliate links
We do not use cookies to serve advertising or build advertising profiles.
3. Your Cookie Choices
When you first visit the Site, our cookie consent banner will ask for your permission before setting any non-essential cookies. You can choose to accept all cookies, accept only essential cookies, or manage your preferences by category.
You can update your preferences at any time by clearing your cookies and revisiting the Site, or by adjusting your browser settings (see Section 7).
4. Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the Site to function. They cannot be disabled through our cookie banner as without them the Site would not work properly. You can block them via your browser settings, but this may affect how the Site functions for you.

5. Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site by collecting information anonymously. This helps us improve the structure, content, and user experience of the Site. These cookies are only set with your consent.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to collect aggregated data about Site usage. Google Analytics may set the following cookies:

_ga_[ID] | Used by Google Analytics 4 to persist session state | 2 years |

Google may process analytics data in the United States. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy. You can also opt out of Google Analytics across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Matomo Analytics
We also use Matomo, a self-hosted analytics platform. Unlike Google Analytics, all data collected by Matomo is stored on our own servers and is not shared with any third parties.
Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |

_pk_id.* | Identifies returning visitors and tracks their usage across sessions | 13 months |

6. Affiliate Tracking Cookies
When you click an affiliate link on the Site, you will be redirected to a third-party merchant or retailer. At the point of clicking, the relevant affiliate network may set a tracking cookie on your device to attribute any subsequent purchase to us. This allows us to earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
These cookies are set by third-party affiliate networks — not by Top Voucher Codes directly — and are governed by their own cookie and privacy policies.
