Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. This page also covers browser storage like localStorage and sessionStorage, which work similarly.
We do not use advertising cookies, remarketing cookies, or any cross-site tracking. We use Google Analytics with a first-party analytics cookie to count visitors accurately. In the UK, EU, EEA and Switzerland this cookie is only set after you accept it via our consent banner; elsewhere it is enabled by default.
These are required for the site to function correctly or to remember your preferences. None of them identify you or track you across other websites.
| Cookie name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| geo-country | Edge-detected country code, used to show the right currency defaults | 30 days (cookie) |
| geo-currency | Remembers your preferred send currency | 30 days (cookie) |
| theme | Stores your light/dark mode preference | Persistent (localStorage) |
| converter-prefs | Remembers your currency converter selections | Persistent (localStorage) |
| sticky_cta_dismissed, bot_dismissed, exit_intent_* | Remembers if you dismissed a UI element so we don't re-show it | Until tab closes (sessionStorage) |
We use Google Analytics 4 with first-party cookies (_ga, _ga_*) that store a randomly-generated visitor ID. This lets us count returning visitors accurately so the same person is not counted multiple times. The ID is not linked to your name or any personal information, and no advertising, remarketing, or cross-site tracking data is collected. In the UK, EU, EEA and Switzerland these cookies are only set after you accept them.
| Cookie name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics visitor ID, used to count unique visitors | 2 years (cookie) |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics session state for the property | 2 years (cookie) |
| smc_consent | Remembers your analytics consent choice (UK/EU/EEA/CH) | 1 year (cookie) |
Because we don't use tracking or advertising cookies, there is no consent banner to manage. You can still clear the essential cookies and browser storage listed above at any time via your browser settings — the site will simply re-create them with defaults on your next visit.
If you don't want Google Analytics to record your anonymous pageviews, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or enable Do Not Track / tracking protection in your browser.
Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. Here are links to cookie management instructions for popular browsers:
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
