Cookie Policy
Last updated: 4 November 2026
This policy explains how Crestline Money (aitoolcrestline.com) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our site. Read it alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data more generally.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device through your browser. Similar technologies include local storage and tracking pixels. Some are needed for the site to work. Others help us understand how the site is used or record when a visitor has come through an affiliate link.
2. Types of cookies we use
| Category | Purpose | Examples | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Keeps the site secure and working, such as remembering your cookie choices | [cookie name] | [duration] |
| Preferences | Remembers settings you choose on tools such as the Budget planner | [cookie name] | [duration] |
| Analytics | Counts visits and shows which pages are used, in aggregate | [cookie name, analytics provider] | [duration] |
| Affiliate tracking | Records that a visitor arrived from an affiliate link so a commission can be credited | [cookie name, partner name] | Set by each partner; see their policy |
| Advertising | Used only if we show advertising, to limit repeat views | [cookie name, provider] | [duration] |
3. Affiliate links and commission
Some links on Crestline Money are affiliate links. If you click one and then sign up for or buy a product, we may receive a commission from the provider. Affiliate partners set cookies to recognise that referral. The commission does not change the price you pay.
We only earn commission on some products, and this does not change how we explain them. Each partner’s cookie duration and privacy practices are set out in their own policies, which we recommend you read before you proceed.
4. How to manage cookies
You can change your choices in the following ways:
- Use the cookie banner or settings panel on our site to accept or reject non-essential categories.
- Change your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Most browsers let you do this under privacy or security settings.
- Use your browser’s private or incognito mode, which clears cookies when you close the window.
If you block strictly necessary cookies, some parts of the site may not work properly. Blocking preference cookies may mean the tools do not remember your inputs. Blocking affiliate tracking cookies does not affect your access to the site, but a partner may not be able to credit a referral.
5. Third-party cookies
Some cookies on this site are set by third parties, such as analytics providers and affiliate partners. We do not control those cookies directly. Check the relevant provider’s website for details on what they collect and how to opt out.
6. Legal basis
We set strictly necessary cookies because they are needed to run the site. For other categories, we ask for your consent where the law requires it under the UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR). You can withdraw consent at any time using the methods in section 4.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when our cookies or partners change. The date at the top shows when it was last revised.
8. Contact

For information about your own circumstances, check official sources such as the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Money and Pensions Service (MoneyHelper).
