Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.

PlusGST uses cookies for several reasons:

• Essential Cookies: These are necessary for the website to function, such as maintaining your login session.
• Preference Cookies: These allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred financial year).
• Analytical Cookies: These help us understand how visitors interact with the website by collecting and reporting information anonymously.

Most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, visit www.aboutcookies.org.

Please note that if you choose to block essential cookies, some parts of our website may not function correctly.

In practice, this is what the site and the app place in your browser:

• Analytics: Google Tag Manager loads on every page, and through it Google Analytics 4, which sets its own cookies to measure visits.
• Advertising: the Meta Pixel loads on the same pages and records which ones are visited, so Meta can measure PlusGST’s ads. Meta sets its own cookies for this.
• Product Hunt: the footer of every public page shows the “Find us on Product Hunt” badge, an image drawn by Product Hunt’s server with the current vote count. Loading it sends Product Hunt the request, as any image host receives it, including your IP address and that it came from plusgst.com. It runs no script on PlusGST.
• Signing in: your signed-in session is kept by Firebase Authentication in your browser’s storage, so you stay signed in between visits.
• Preferences: the business and the financial year you last worked in are remembered in your browser’s local storage.

PlusGST does not currently show a cookie banner or a consent tool. You can block or delete cookies and site data in your browser settings.
