Henry OptCookie & Local Storage Policy
Last updated: 10 March 2026
1. Introduction
This policy explains how Henry Opt uses cookies and similar storage technologies (including browser local storage) on our website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), we are required to tell you about the technologies we use and, where they are not strictly necessary, obtain your consent before using them.
2. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. Browser local storage (localStorage) is a similar technology that allows websites to store data on your device, but unlike cookies, this data is not sent to the server with every page request.
Both technologies can be used to remember your preferences, save your work, and understand how the site is used.

- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data

Please note that clearing local storage for Henry Opt will delete your saved tax calculation scenarios.
5. Third-Party Technologies
We do not allow third parties to set cookies or access data on your device through our website for their own purposes, except where explicitly listed in Section 3 above.
