Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. They help websites remember things about your visit (such as your cookie consent preference) and, when you allow it, help operators measure how the site is used.
PayslipIQ keeps cookies to a minimum. We set one strictly-necessary cookie (your consent preference) and only load analytics cookies after you give consent. We do not use advertising cookies. We do not run cross-site tracking pixels.
The table below lists every cookie that may appear in your browser when you use PayslipIQ. Strictly-necessary cookies are set on first visit. Analytics cookies are not set unless you click Accept in the consent banner.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Type | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| psiq:consent | Stores your cookie preference (granted / denied) | 1 year | Strictly necessary | PayslipIQ (first-party) |
| _ga | Google Analytics 4: distinguishes unique users | 2 years | Analytics (consent required) | Google (US) |
| _ga_<container-id> | Google Analytics 4: persists session state | 2 years | Analytics (consent required) | Google (US) |
| _gid | Google Analytics 4: 24-hour user identifier | 24 hours | Analytics (consent required) | Google (US) |
| _clck | Microsoft Clarity: persists Clarity user ID for session replay | 1 year | Analytics (consent required) | Microsoft (US) |
| _clsk | Microsoft Clarity: connects multiple page views into one session | 24 hours | Analytics (consent required) | Microsoft (US) |

Your consent preference is stored in localStorage as psiq:consent. To change it:
The Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) require us to ask before storing non-essential cookies. We also rely on Article 6(1)(a) of the UK GDPR (consent) for analytics processing.
When you accept analytics cookies, Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity may set their own cookies and process aggregated data on their servers in the US. International transfers are protected by the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (with UK Extension). See our Privacy Policy and Trust Centre for the full sub-processor list.
We will update this page if we add a new cookie. Material changes will be highlighted via the cookie banner the next time you visit.
