Cookie Policy - 1099 Assistant

In short: we use only the cookies needed to keep you signed in and safe. Analytics and advertising cookies are off unless you turn them on, and you can change your mind here at any time.

1. Your choices

You have not made a choice yet. Until you do, analytics and advertising stay off.

Choose which optional cookies to allow

Necessary (always on)

Keeps you signed in, protects forms against forgery, and remembers your cookie choice. The site cannot work without these.

Analytics

Helps us see which pages and campaigns bring people to the site, so we can fix what is confusing and stop paying for what does not work. It never sees your income, expenses, receipts or mileage.

In use on this site today: no

Advertising

Lets Google and Meta (Facebook) tell whether someone who clicked our advertisement went on to sign up or subscribe. These companies can use the visit to improve their own advertising services. Turning this off stops us sharing visits with them.

3. Other companies

With Analytics and Advertising off, no page on this site loads anything from Google or Meta. Fonts, icons and charts are served from this site itself, not from a font or script network. If you turn analytics or advertising on, your browser contacts Google and/or Meta, who receive the page you were on, your IP address and a cookie identifier. They never receive your income, expenses, receipts or mileage. See their own policies for how they use it.

4. Withdrawing consent

Use the buttons above at any time. Choosing "Reject optional" stops analytics and advertising on your next page and removes the cookies those tools set on this site. You can also delete cookies in your browser's settings. Withdrawing does not affect anything done before you withdrew.
