This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies the Cashwise website uses, and how you can manage your preferences.
Last updated: 1 January 2026 ◆ Version 1.0
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, to remember preferences, and to provide website operators with information about how their sites are used.
Cookies are not programmes and cannot harm your device. You have control over which cookies are placed — we explain your options in Section 5 of this policy.
2. How we use cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes. Cookies marked as essential are necessary for the site to function and are placed automatically. All other categories require your consent, which you can give or adjust through our cookie consent notice.

These cookies are used to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and to show relevant information to people who have previously shown interest in Cashwise programs. We do not use this data to serve intrusive advertising — it is used only in the context of our own promotional activity.

4. Embedded content
Our website includes an embedded Google Maps component to help you locate our office. Google may place cookies when this map is loaded. These are governed by Google's Privacy Policy linked above. The map only loads when you navigate to the section of the page containing it.
5. Managing your cookie preferences
You have several options for managing cookies:
Cookie consent notice
When you first visit our website, a cookie consent notice allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies by category. Your preferences are saved in your browser's local storage under the key cookieConsent. You may update your preferences at any time by clearing this local storage entry or by contacting us.
Browser settings
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, or to receive a notification before a cookie is placed. Note that blocking essential cookies will affect the functionality of some parts of our website.
