Cookies Policy
Last updated: 10 October 2026
This page explains the cookies and similar browser storage used on isaplan.co.uk, which is run by ISAPlan. It lists each item, what it is for, how long it lasts and whether the site needs it to work.
Your choice
When you first visit, we ask whether you accept analytics cookies. Analytics cookies are only set if you choose "Accept analytics cookies". If you choose "Reject analytics cookies", or make no choice, Google Analytics is not loaded at all.
You can change your choice at any time with the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of every page. If you withdraw consent, we stop Google Analytics on this site and delete its cookies from your browser.
Cookies and storage we use
| Name | Type | Set by | Purpose | How long it lasts | Needed for the site to work? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
isaplan_consent | Browser storage (localStorage) | isaplan.co.uk | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected analytics cookies, so we don't ask on every page. | Until you change your choice or clear your browser storage. | Yes (essential) |
_ga | Cookie | Google Analytics, on isaplan.co.uk | Distinguishes visitors so we can count visits and see how the site is used. Only set after you accept analytics cookies. | Up to 2 years (Google's default). | No (analytics, optional) |
_ga_6NL97NC3PN | Cookie | Google Analytics, on isaplan.co.uk | Keeps track of your visit (session) for Google Analytics. Only set after you accept analytics cookies. | Up to 2 years (Google's default). | No (analytics, optional) |
planner_purchase_sent | Browser storage (localStorage) | isaplan.co.uk | After an Advanced ISA Planner purchase, records that the purchase was already reported to Google Analytics, so it is not counted twice. Only set if you accepted analytics cookies. | Until you clear your browser storage. | No (analytics, optional) |
planner_access | Cookie | isaplan.co.uk | Keeps the Advanced ISA Planner open for you after you open the private link we emailed. It is sent only to the planner's own addresses (/advanced-isa-planner) and is not used for tracking. Only set when you open the private link. | Up to a year. | Yes, for the Advanced ISA Planner (strictly necessary) |
| Stripe cookies | Cookies on Stripe's own website | Stripe, on checkout.stripe.com | When you pay for the Advanced ISA Planner you are taken to Stripe's secure checkout page. Stripe sets its own cookies there, for example to process the payment and prevent fraud. They are not set on isaplan.co.uk. | Set by Stripe; see Stripe's cookie policy. | Yes, to take a payment (essential) |
The site does not set any other cookies or browser storage. We do not use advertising cookies.
How to change or withdraw consent
- Use the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of any page and choose "Accept analytics cookies" or "Reject analytics cookies".
- You can also delete cookies and site data in your browser settings. If you do, we will ask for your choice again on your next visit.
Deleting the planner_access cookie stops the planner opening on that device until you open your private link again.
