Cookie Policy
Effective date: November 1, 2026
This policy explains how the My Payroll Desk website uses cookies and similar technologies such as local storage, and how you can control them. It should be read with our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. Similar technologies, such as local storage, work in much the same way. They help a site remember your choices and understand how it is used.
How we use them
Strictly necessary (always on)
These keep the site working and secure, and remember your cookie choice. They do not track you across other sites.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
mpd-consent (local storage) | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics | Until you clear it |
| Cloudflare security cookies | Protect the site from abuse and bots | Up to 30 minutes |
Analytics (only with your consent)
If you choose “Accept all”, we use Google Tag Manager to load Google Analytics, which sets cookies to measure how visitors find and use the site. We use this information in aggregate to improve the site.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes visitors | 2 years |
_ga_<ID> | Google Analytics | Keeps session state | 2 years |
Marketing (only with your consent)
If you choose “Accept all”, we load the Meta Pixel, which sets cookies so we can measure how our ads on Facebook and Instagram perform and show relevant ads to people who visited our site. When you send us an enquiry after accepting, we also share a hashed (scrambled) copy of your email, and phone number if given, with Meta through its Conversions API so the enquiry can be matched to an ad. We do not share your message or business details.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_fbp | Meta | Identifies browsers for ad measurement | 90 days |
_fbc | Meta | Stores the ad click identifier when you arrive from a Meta ad | 90 days |

- Change your choice at any time with “Cookie settings” at the bottom of every page.
- Block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how the site works.
- Opt out of Google Analytics across sites with Google’s browser add-on.
Until you make a choice, analytics and advertising storage stay off.
