This policy describes how Ashfield Trading Ltd (trading as Property Tax Partners) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us understand how visitors use our Site and improve your experience.
1. What cookies we use
Essential cookies
We do not currently use any strictly necessary cookies. Our Site functions without requiring cookies for basic operation.
First-party analytics
We run our own privacy-first analytics so we can understand how visitors use the Site and improve it. To do this we store two random identifiers in your browser (a visitor identifier and a session identifier) and record anonymous interaction events such as pages viewed, scrolling, clicks and form steps. The lawful basis is our legitimate interest in measuring and improving the Site.
This data is anonymous. We do not store your IP address (only a country derived from it), we do not collect your name, email or phone number in these events, and we do not sell or share this data. You can opt out at any time using the "Do not track me" link in the footer of every page, which immediately stops all analytics on your device.
Analytics cookies (Google Analytics)
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our Site. This helps us improve content and user experience. Google Analytics sets the following cookies:
- _ga: Distinguishes unique users. Expires after 2 years.
- _gid: Distinguishes unique users. Expires after 24 hours.
- _gat_gtag_*: Used to throttle request rate. Expires after 1 minute.
Google Analytics collects information such as pages visited, time spent on pages, browser type, device type, and referral source. IP addresses are anonymised. Data is retained for 14 months.
2. Purpose of cookies
We use cookies to:
- Understand which pages are most useful to landlords and property investors
- Identify technical issues or broken links
- Measure the effectiveness of our content

We do not use cookies for advertising, remarketing, or selling your data to third parties.
