Last Updated: 12/10/2026

This Cookie Policy explains how SimplySIM Solutions Ltd ("SimplySIM", "we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on simplysim.co.uk, as required by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) in the UK and the ePrivacy rules in the EU. Read it together with our Privacy Policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser; persistent cookies stay for a set time. Similar technologies, such as pixels and local storage, work in the same way and are covered by this policy.

How we use them

We use essential cookies to make the site work. We only use analytics and marketing cookies, and only load the tools that set them, after you agree in our cookie banner. You can change your choice at any time from Cookie settings, also linked at the bottom of every page. If you withdraw consent we delete the cookies we can and stop those tools on your next page load.

We use Google Consent Mode. Until you agree, Google tags run without setting analytics or advertising cookies and send only limited, cookieless signals. Microsoft Clarity likewise runs without cookies until you agree.
