Cookies Policy

What we use cookies for

Maxton Personal uses a small number of cookies and similar browser storage technologies to keep the site secure, support sign-in, and remember limited user preferences.

Essential cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to work and do not require optional consent.

• authentication and session cookies used to sign users in and keep them signed in securely;
• security-related cookies used to help protect forms and account actions;
• limited browser and connection context required by HMRC when you use the tax-service features, including a device identifier, browser user agent, timezone, screen details and window size;
• cookie preference storage used to remember whether you accepted or declined optional cookies.

HMRC requires this fraud-prevention context for software that connects through a web application and server. Maxton Personal sends it only with HMRC API requests and does not use it for advertising or analytics.

Optional cookies and similar technologies

At present, the only optional preference we use is to remember visual settings such as dark mode. If you accept optional cookies, we may also load Google Analytics to measure site usage in an aggregated way. If you choose essential-only cookies, optional preferences and analytics will not be stored or loaded for future visits. The limited HMRC fraud-prevention context described above remains available so HMRC-connected features can work correctly.

How to manage your choices

When you first visit the site, we ask whether you want to accept optional cookies or use essential cookies only. You can change your browser storage settings at any time through your browser controls.
