Cookie Policy

Last updated: January 2025

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are and how WeFile (operated by WeFile Limited) uses them on our website (wefile.co.uk). It outlines the types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.

For more information on how we process personal data generally, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

2. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the owners of the site.

  • Session cookies: Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies: Cookies that remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them.
  • First-party cookies: Set directly by the website you are visiting (WeFile).
  • Third-party cookies: Set by a domain other than the one you are visiting.

3. Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Platform and to use some of its core features. They cannot be disabled in our systems.

  • Authentication: We use secure, HTTP-only cookies to manage your login session and verify your identity while navigating the portal.
  • Security: Cookies that help mitigate security risks and prevent fraudulent activity (such as CSRF tokens).

Note: You can configure your browser to block these cookies, but doing so will prevent you from logging in and filing returns via WeFile.

4. Functional Cookies

These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personal features.

  • Theme Preference: Remembering if you prefer Light Mode or Dark Mode.
  • UI States: Remembering collapsed sections or specific viewing configurations within the application dashboard.

5. Analytics Cookies

If applicable, we may use analytics cookies to collect information about how users navigate and use our platform. This helps us understand which pages are the most useful, troubleshoot errors, and improve the overall filing wizard experience. All data collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

6. Third-Party Cookies

In some cases, we use trusted third parties that may place cookies on your device.

  • Stripe: Our payment processor utilizes cookies for fraud prevention and to securely facilitate checkout processes.
  • Authentication Providers: If you use external providers (e.g., Google OAuth) to sign in, they will deploy their own essential cookies to manage your authentication state.

7. Managing Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our website (such as user login) will be severely restricted.

To manage your cookies, please check the "Help" section of your browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, etc.) for instructions on how to block or clear cookies.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this page regularly to stay informed.
