Cookie Policy
This website sets no cookies. The application sets one, to keep you signed in.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work, remember your choices and understand how it is used. Similar technologies, such as browser local storage, do the same job. This policy covers both.
This website sets no cookies at all
Browsing posttime.uk sets nothing on your device. There is no analytics, no advertising, no cross-site tracking, no social media pixels and no third-party scripts of any kind. That is why you have never seen a cookie banner here: we have nothing to ask you to consent to.
The application
Once you sign in to the Posttime application at app.posttime.uk, we set one cookie, and store a small amount of data in your browser, purely so the software works. All of it is strictly necessary for a service you have asked us to provide, so none of it requires consent under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations.
| What | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
Sign-in cookiesession |
Keeps you signed in and protects the sign-in process against forgery. It is cryptographically signed, HTTPS-only, and restricted to our own site. It carries no advertising or tracking identifier. | Up to 14 days, refreshed while you are using Posttime. Signing out clears it. |
| Screen preferences browser local storage |
Remembers small choices so the app opens the way you left it, such as which sections you had collapsed. | Until you clear your browser data. |
| HMRC device reference browser local storage |
Only for firms that file to HMRC through Posttime. HMRC requires software to send fraud-prevention information identifying the device a submission came from, so we generate a random reference for this purpose. It is not used for anything else. | Until you clear your browser data. |
We do not use advertising cookies, cross-site tracking, or profiling — anywhere, on either site. We do not sell or share this data with anyone.
Managing it
Every browser lets you view and delete cookies and site data from its settings or privacy menu; search your browser’s help for “cookies”. Because the only cookie we set is the one that keeps you signed in, clearing it simply signs you out of Posttime — nothing else is affected.
Changes
We may update this policy if what we store changes. The “last updated” date shows when it last changed.
