Cookie Policy
Last updated: 3 August 2026
This policy explains how testnowcancellationsandswaps.co.uk, operated by TestNow UK (a trading name of RDS HUB LTD), uses cookies. It sits alongside our Privacy Notice.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. They let a site remember your choices between visits, and they let advertisers measure whether their ads worked.
Our own cookies
Consent cookie (tn_consent_v2) — remembers the choice you made on our cookie banner, so we don't ask every visit. Set only after you make a choice. Lasts about 6 months.
Region cookie (tn_region) — remembers your approximate area (for example, "West Midlands") so we can show nearby tests first. Set only if you accept. Lasts about 3 months.
Advertising cookies (only if you accept)
We advertise on Google. If you accept on our banner, Google sets advertising cookies — for example _gcl_au on this site, and cookies on doubleclick.net — which let us see how many people who clicked one of our ads went on to list a test. This is cross-site advertising measurement, carried out by Google under its own privacy terms.
We use Google Consent Mode, so until you accept, Google is instructed not to store or use these cookies. If you decline, or simply haven't chosen yet, they are not set at all.
What we don't do
We don't sell your data. We don't store your IP address or precise location. We don't use cookies to build a profile of you beyond measuring whether our own ads led to a listing. If you decline, the site still works in full — we simply don't pre-sort tests by your area, and we can't tell whether our advertising reached you.
Managing cookies
You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings at any time. If you clear our consent cookie, you'll be asked for your choice again next time you visit — which is also how you change your mind after accepting. Declining on our banner stops both the region cookie and the advertising cookies being set.
Changes
We may update this policy. The "last updated" date shows when it last changed.
