Cookies do not necessarily reveal your name, but they may collect or associate information such as an IP address, browser details, device identifiers and browsing activity.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect website functionality.

Where required, visitors may also be shown a consent or privacy-management message allowing them to manage applicable cookie and advertising choices.

5. Google Analytics

We use or may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the website.

Google Analytics may collect information such as:

Users may be able to limit analytics collection through browser settings, consent controls or Google’s available opt-out tools.

6. Google AdSense and Advertising

We use or may use Google AdSense and related Google advertising services to display advertisements.

Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses or similar technologies as a result of advertising served on this website.

Google’s use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to:

• Serve advertisements
• Measure advertising performance
• Limit how often an advertisement is displayed
• Detect invalid traffic and fraud
• Provide personalised advertising where permitted
• Provide non-personalised advertising where applicable

Advertising may be selected using information about a visitor’s previous visits to this website or other websites, subject to the visitor’s settings, consent choices and applicable laws.

Users can learn more through Google’s cookie information and manage advertising preferences through Google My Ad Center.

Other advertising providers may be identified through an applicable consent-management interface if they are used on the website.

Visitors from the European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland may be shown a consent-management message where required.

This message may allow eligible visitors to:

• Accept applicable cookies
• Reject applicable non-essential cookies
• Manage advertising preferences
• Select personalised or non-personalised advertising options where available
• Revisit or withdraw a previous consent choice

Browser controls and advertising settings may provide additional choices. Disabling cookies may affect website functionality and may not prevent every form of measurement or data processing.

• Responding to enquiries
• Maintaining business and security records
• Resolving disputes

Contact messages may be retained while an enquiry is being handled and for a reasonable record-keeping period afterwards.

Analytics, advertising, hosting and security providers may apply their own retention periods. Users should review the relevant provider’s privacy information for further details.

11. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

The website uses HTTPS to encrypt information transmitted between a visitor’s browser and the website.

However, no internet transmission, storage system or security method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users should avoid sending sensitive or confidential information through the website.

We may need to verify your identity before responding to a request. Certain information may need to be retained where required by law or for legitimate security and record-keeping purposes.

To submit a request, use our Contact Us page.

13. Children’s Privacy

Simple Salary Calculators provides general financial information and is not directed specifically at children.

We do not knowingly request personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the website, please contact us so that we can review and, where appropriate, remove it.

Parents and guardians should supervise children’s use of online financial tools.

14. Third-Party Links

Our calculators and articles may link to government agencies, financial-information services and other third-party websites.

We do not control these external websites and are not responsible for their content, security or privacy practices. Visiting an external link is subject to that website’s own terms and privacy policy.

15. Privacy Complaints

If you have a question or complaint about how information has been handled, please contact us with sufficient details to investigate the matter.

We will aim to review and respond to reasonable privacy enquiries within an appropriate period.
