Website analytics
We use Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use Business Accounting Basics. This helps us see which pages are useful, how visitors find the website and how the site performs.
Google Analytics is managed through Google Tag Manager and our cookie consent system.
Your cookie choices determine how Google Analytics can collect and use information. Where analytics consent has not been granted, Google’s Consent Mode may allow limited cookieless measurement signals to be sent rather than normal analytics cookies being stored.
You can change or withdraw your cookie choices at any time using the Manage Consent option at the bottom of this website.
Cookies
Business Accounting Basics uses cookies and similar technologies for purposes including essential website functions, analytics and services provided by third parties.
We use Complianz to manage cookie consent and allow you to accept, deny or change your cookie preferences.
For full details of the cookies and services currently detected on this website, please see our Cookie Policy.
Email newsletter
If you choose to subscribe to our newsletter, we use MailerLite to manage our mailing list and send emails.
MailerLite processes subscriber information on our behalf.
You can unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in our emails.
We will not add you to our mailing list simply because you have visited the website or contacted us.
Affiliate links and advertising
Some pages contain affiliate links or advertisements for products and services that may be useful to small businesses.
If you click an affiliate link, the provider or affiliate network may use tracking technology to record the referral. This allows them to determine whether Business Accounting Basics should receive a commission.
Our affiliate partners and networks may process information under their own privacy policies.
Using an affiliate link does not normally increase the price you pay.
Third-party services
We use third-party services to operate and improve the website. These may include services for analytics, email newsletters, affiliate tracking and website functionality.
These providers may process limited information when you use the relevant service or feature. Where appropriate, their use is controlled by your cookie consent choices.
We do not sell your personal information.
Legal basis for processing
Depending on the circumstances, we process personal information on one or more of the following grounds:
Consent – for example, when you agree to certain cookies or subscribe to our newsletter.
Legitimate interests – where necessary to operate, maintain, secure and improve the website, provided those interests do not override your rights.
Legal obligations – where we are required to keep or disclose information by law.
How long we keep information
We only keep personal information for as long as it is reasonably required for the purpose for which it was collected or to meet legal requirements.
Newsletter information is normally retained until you unsubscribe or request its deletion, subject to any information we need to retain to record your request.
Analytics information is retained according to the settings used within our analytics services.
Sharing your information
We may share information with service providers where this is necessary to operate the website, provide a service you have requested or comply with the law.
These may include website hosting, analytics, email marketing and other technology providers.
We do not sell or rent your personal information to other organisations for their own marketing purposes.
International transfers
Some of the third-party services used by this website may process information outside the United Kingdom.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, we expect the relevant provider to use appropriate safeguards required by applicable data protection law.
