Last updated: 5 November 2026
This policy explains what cookies are, which types Mint Canopy uses on mintcanopy.com, and how you can control them. It is written for UK visitors and applies to the whole site, including our budget planner, loan / EMI calculator, savings goal tool and credit card payoff tool.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. They help a site remember settings, keep tools working and measure how pages are used. Some cookies are removed when you close your browser (session cookies). Others stay for a set period (persistent cookies).
2. Cookies we use
| Category | Purpose | Examples of what they do | Can you turn them off? |
|---|---|---|---|
| — | — | — | — |
| Strictly necessary | Keep the site secure and working | Remember your cookie choice, support page navigation and basic security | No. These are needed for the site to function. |
| Preferences | Remember your choices | Remember display or layout settings you select | Yes, through your browser or our cookie settings. |
| Analytics | Understand how the site is used | Count visits and see which pages are read most, so we can improve clarity | Yes, through our cookie settings or your browser. |

We do not use cookies to show you personal financial details, and our tools do not store the figures you type into them in cookies.
3. Affiliate links
Some links on Mint Canopy are affiliate links. If you follow one and then sign up for or buy a product, the provider may place a tracking cookie on your device and we may earn a commission. This does not change the price you pay.
Commission never decides our ratings or the order of our rankings. Our methodology is published, and we say who a product is not for. Affiliate links are always disclosed.
4. Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by providers whose services we use, such as analytics or partner tracking. Those providers handle the data under their own privacy and cookie policies. Please check their policies if you want full details.
5. How to manage cookies

If you delete cookies, you may be asked to set your preferences again on your next visit.
6. Information, not personal advice
This page explains how our site works. It is information, not personal advice. Nothing here is a recommendation about your finances.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when our tools, partners or the law change. The date at the top shows when it was last updated. Significant changes will be flagged on the site.
