A F S Financial Management Limited. Last updated: 10 November 2026

1. About this policy

This Cookies Policy explains how A F S Financial Management Limited (“AFS”, “we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website, afsfinman.com. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information more generally.

2. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer, phone or tablet when you visit. They help the site work, remember your choices, and tell the site owner how you use it. Similar technologies, such as local storage and tracking pixels, work in much the same way. In this policy, we refer to all of them as “cookies”.

Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser (session cookies). Others stay on your device for a set period or until you delete them (persistent cookies).

3. How we use cookies

We use two types of cookies on our website:

  • Strictly necessary cookies, which the website needs to work securely and to remember your cookie choices. These do not need your consent.

  • Analytics cookies, which help us understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it. We set these only if you agree.

We do not use advertising or marketing cookies, and we do not use cookies to identify you personally.

4. The cookies we use

Our website is built on Squarespace, which sets the cookies below on our behalf. Squarespace explains its cookies in its Cookie Policy.

Strictly necessary cookies

  • crumb (Squarespace): protects the website and its forms against cross-site request forgery. Deleted when you close your browser.

  • ss_cookieAllowed, ss_performancecookiesAllowed, and ss_marketingcookiesAllowed (Squarespace): remember your choices in our cookie banner so we don’t ask you on every page. Persistent.

  • Test (Squarespace): checks whether your browser accepts cookies. Deleted when you close your browser.

Analytics cookies (only with your consent)

  • ss_cvr and ss_cid (Squarespace Analytics): distinguish unique visitors and count return visits. Two years.

  • ss_cpvisit (Squarespace Analytics): records when you last visited, to measure returning visitors. Two years.

  • ss_cvisit and ss_cvt (Squarespace Analytics): group the pages you view into a single visit. 30 minutes.

  • _ga (Google Analytics): distinguishes unique visitors. Two years.

  • ga[ID] (Google Analytics): keeps track of your visit (session) across pages. Two years.

Google Analytics tells us which pages are most popular, how visitors find us, and what type of device they use. This information is reported to us in aggregate. Google processes this data on our behalf, and it may be processed outside the UK as described in our Privacy Policy.

5. Tracking in our emails

If you subscribe to our updates, our emails may contain small tracking images and links that tell us whether an email was opened and which links were clicked. We use this to understand which articles are most useful. You can stop this by setting your email program to not load images automatically, or by unsubscribing using the link in any email.

6. Managing your cookie choices

When you first visit our website, a cookie banner lets you accept or decline analytics cookies. If you decline, we set only strictly necessary cookies.

To change your mind later, clear the cookies for afsfinman.com in your browser and revisit the site. The cookie banner will appear again.

You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Help is available for Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of our website working properly.

To opt out of Google Analytics on every website you visit, you can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

7. Links to other websites

Our website may link to other websites, such as product providers or government sites. Those sites may set their own cookies, which are not covered by this policy, so please check their cookie policies.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy if the cookies we use change. The latest version will always be on this page, with the last updated date shown at the top.
