Cookies Policy
How we use cookies on our website
Last updated: January 2026
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to site owners. Cookies enable websites to recognise your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferences.
This Cookies Policy explains what cookies we use on the Rapid Savings website, why we use them, and how you can control them.
Types of Cookies We Use
We categorise the cookies on our website into three types:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable basic features like page navigation and access to secure areas. The website cannot function correctly without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This helps us improve the website's structure and content.
Marketing Cookies
These cookies are used to track visitors across websites to enable us to display relevant advertisements. They may be set by third-party advertising networks with our permission.
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
Cookies can be classified by who sets them:
- First-party cookies are set directly by our website. We use these for essential functionality and basic analytics.
- Third-party cookies are set by other organisations through our website. We use these for advanced analytics and, where you consent, marketing purposes.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie banner that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Preferences" option in the banner or by using the button below.
Browser Controls
You can also control cookies through your web browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View what cookies are stored on your device
- Delete cookies individually or in bulk
- Block cookies from specific websites
- Block all cookies (though this may affect website functionality)
- Delete cookies when you close your browser
The process for managing cookies varies between browsers. You can find instructions for common browsers at their respective support pages.
Consequences of Disabling Cookies
If you choose to disable cookies, please be aware that:
- Essential cookies: Cannot be disabled. If you block all cookies in your browser, some website features may not work correctly.
- Analytics cookies: Disabling these means we cannot collect information about how you use our website, which may limit our ability to improve it.
- Marketing cookies: Disabling these means you may still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests.
Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as:
- Local storage: Used to store data locally on your device without an expiration date. This is used for remembering preferences.
- Session storage: Similar to local storage but cleared when you close your browser. Used for temporary data during your visit.
These technologies are governed by the same principles and consent requirements as cookies.
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Our website respects Do Not Track signals where possible, and will disable non-essential cookies if your browser sends this signal.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our practices. When we make significant changes, we will update the "last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you via the cookie banner.
