Cookie Policy
Last updated: 6 July 2026
Thyme Tax & Accountancy Ltd (“Thyme”, “we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on thyme.tax. This policy tells you what they are, which ones we use, and how to manage your preferences. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Website Terms of Use.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to site owners. We also use similar technologies such as local storage; in this policy we refer to all of these as “cookies”.
Cookies may be session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain until they expire or you delete them. They may be first-party cookies, set by thyme.tax, or third-party cookies, set by another organisation whose service we use.
2. The cookies we use
We keep cookie use to a minimum. We use only strictly necessary and, with your consent, analytics cookies. We do not use advertising or cross-site targeting cookies, and we do not set any non-essential cookies until you have given your consent.
Strictly necessary cookies
These are required for the website to function and to remember choices you make. They cannot be switched off and do not require your consent. They do not track you and are not used for advertising.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
cc_cookie | thyme.tax | Records your cookie consent choice | 182 days |
If you click a “Book a call” button, we may load our third-party scheduling tool, Cal.com, so you can choose a time. It may set cookies necessary to operate the booking. Because it loads only when you choose to book, and is required to deliver a service you have requested, it is treated as strictly necessary. If you never start a booking, it is not loaded.
Analytics cookies
If you accept analytics cookies, we use a website-analytics tool to understand how visitors find and use the site so we can improve it. The information is aggregated and used only to measure and improve performance. These cookies are set only with your consent and are never set if you decline.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Distinguishes unique visitors | 2 years | |
_ga_<id> | Persists analytics session state | 2 years |
3. Your consent
When you first visit thyme.tax you will see a cookie banner. Strictly necessary cookies are set automatically because the site cannot work without them. Analytics cookies are set only if you accept them. From the banner you can accept all cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or manage your preferences. Rejecting non-essential cookies is as easy as accepting them, and the site will still work. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the “Manage cookies” link in the footer.
4. How to manage cookies
In addition to our cookie banner, you can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you see what cookies are stored, delete them, and block cookies from some or all websites. Blocking all cookies, including strictly necessary ones, may stop parts of the site from working. Useful independent guidance is available at www.aboutcookies.org and from the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
5. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for legal or operational reasons. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when it was last revised.
