Cookie Policy

Last updated: 14 November 2026

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. We use a small number of them to make the site work and, with your consent, to understand how it is used. This policy should be read with our Privacy Policy.

1.Essential cookies and storage

These are needed for the site to function and do not require consent:

  • Compare tray (`cs_compare`, browser storage): remembers the cards you have selected to compare. Kept until you clear it.
  • Admin session (`cs_admin`, cookie): keeps CardSparrow staff signed in to the admin panel. Not set for visitors.
  • Security and rate-limiting identifiers used to protect forms from abuse.

3.Affiliate attribution

When you click "Apply now" on a partner product, the Lender or affiliate network may set its own cookie on their domain to attribute the referral. Those cookies are governed by their policies, not ours. We pass only an anonymous click identifier.

4.What we do not use

We do not use advertising networks, cross-site tracking pixels, fingerprinting or social-media trackers on cardsparrow.com.

5.How to control cookies

You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings (Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge each have a "Clear browsing data" or "Site settings" option). Blocking essential storage may stop the compare feature from working. Where a consent banner is shown you can change your choice at any time from the footer link.
