Cookie Policy
Last updated: 5 November 2026
This policy explains how JanuarySales (www.januarysale.org.uk), operated by E-Tara Ltd, uses cookies and similar technologies. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Cookies Are
A cookie is a small data file placed on your device by a website you visit. Cookies let a site remember your actions and preferences, and they help site owners understand how visitors use their pages. Browser storage works in a similar way.
2. Cookies and Storage We Use
These are the only cookies and browser storage our pages use:
| Name | Purpose | Lifetime | Set by |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Analytics: a random ID that lets us count visitors (see section 3). | 2 years | Google Analytics |
| _ga_6JPDMGZJ6Q | Analytics: keeps track of the current visit (see section 3). | 2 years | Google Analytics |
| js-analytics-off (browser storage, not a cookie) | Remembers that you turned analytics off. | Until you turn analytics on or clear your browser data | JanuarySales |
| js_reveal (browser session storage, not a cookie) | Shows you the voucher code you asked to reveal, in the new tab that opens. | Removed once the code is shown, or when you close the tab | JanuarySales |
js_reveal is strictly necessary for the "Reveal Voucher Code" button you click, so it does not need consent.
3. Analytics
We use Google Analytics, loaded through Google Tag Manager, only to count visits and see which pages are used, so we can improve the Site. Google handles the data on our behalf, bound by its data processing terms. Its sharing settings are off, so Google may not use the data for its own purposes, and none of it serves advertising or picks out who you are.
All we look at are counts, for example how many UK visits a page had in a month. The individual visit records are deleted by Google Analytics after 2 months.
Since the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 amended the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, analytics kept to this purpose may run without asking for consent first. You can still switch it off whenever you like: the switch deletes the Google Analytics cookies and keeps the analytics from loading again in this browser.
4. Cookies Other Sites Set When You Follow Our Links
JanuarySales earns a commission when you click one of our links to a retailer and make a purchase. This does not affect the price you pay.
No affiliate cookie is set by JanuarySales, and no affiliate script runs on our pages. When you click one of our links, you pass through an affiliate network (the go-between that records, for the retailer, which website a shopper came from) on the way to the retailer's site. The network and the retailer may then set cookies on their own sites, usually for 30 to 90 days, so the retailer knows you came from JanuarySales. Their cookie and privacy policies, not ours, govern those cookies.
5. Managing Cookies in Your Browser
To turn off analytics, use the switch in section 3. You can also delete or block cookies through your browser settings:
Blocking all cookies may affect how the Site and other websites function.
6. Updates to This Policy
We may revise this Cookie Policy when we add or remove cookies. Changes will be posted here with an updated date.
