As a Nerdwallet UK customer, you can rest assured that your personal information is treated with care. We recommend that you read our Privacy Policy which details how we may use your personal information and the circumstances in which it may be shared.
This Cookie policy, along with the NerdWallet UK site to which it applies, is intended for customers residing in the UK. However, Nerdwallet UK is part of the Nerdwallet group which owns and operates sites, apps and other products that are not directed at or intended for the benefit of UK consumers.

Cookies: What is a cookie?
‘Cookies’ are small information files that are downloaded and stored on your device. Websites are able to read and write these files, allowing them to store things like personalisation details or user preferences. They are commonly used across the internet allowing websites to understand how users interact with website content, functionality and advertising. Cookies are either session cookies which disappear from your device when you close your browser or persistent cookies which have a longer life-span and are used when you return to a website (for example to remember your visit and preference, for convenience). We use both session and persistent cookies here at NerdWallet UK.
How do we use them?
Our cookies are grouped as follows:

Non-essential Cookies
Where cookies are considered to be non-essential we will only use them if you’ve provided your consent. These cookies fall into the following groups:
-
Functional Cookies
These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.
-
Performance Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.
-
Targeting Cookies
These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
