We do not set any cookies
Cookies are small files that a website saves on your phone, tablet or computer. This website does not set any cookies. It does not use analytics, advertising, tracking pixels or fingerprinting, and our fonts and images come from this website rather than another company, so visiting a page does not tell anyone else that you were here.
That is why we do not ask you to accept cookies. There are no choices to change.
What is stored on your device
One thing is stored, and only if you use the feature it supports:
| Name | What it does | Where | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| lifeandloss.nation | Remembers where a death happened (England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland) once you choose it on the Someone has died page, so the page shows the right information when you come back to it | Your browser's session storage | Until you close the browser tab |
It is never sent to us and is not used for anything else. It is part of the service you asked for, so the law does not require your consent for it.
Our forms
Our forms work without cookies. Each form carries a hidden, time-limited value that helps us tell a person from an automated program. It is not stored on your device. Our privacy notice explains what happens to what you send us.
If this changes
If we ever want to use cookies that are not strictly necessary, such as analytics cookies, we will update this page first, and they will stay off unless you agree to them.
Other websites
Some links take you to other organisations' websites, such as GOV.UK and the NHS. Those websites have their own cookie policies.
