Cookie notice
Last updated 5 May 2026
Funeral Cost Index uses cookies and similar storage only where they help operate the site, understand how the dataset is being used, or protect the service from abuse. We do not use advertising cookies and we do not share cookie data with advertising networks.
Strictly necessary
Some browser storage and request data is needed for basic operation of the site — handling form submissions, rate-limiting the enquiry endpoint, and remembering your cookie-consent choice. These are set under our legitimate interest in operating the service securely and do not require consent.
Analytics
We use Clicky to understand visits, search behaviour, and outbound clicks. This helps us see which pages are useful, spot broken journeys, and improve coverage. Analytics may set cookies or collect technical information such as pages viewed, referrer, approximate location (city level), browser, device, and time of visit.
Analytics is loaded only after you accept it in the cookie banner. If you decline, or do not respond, Clicky is not loaded by the site. You can change your choice at any time by clearing the consent cookie in your browser, which will re-show the banner on your next visit.
Managing cookies
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The site should still load and function. Some abuse-prevention signals may be weaker. The Information Commissioner’s Office publishes guidance on managing cookies at ico.org.uk.
Personal data
How we handle enquiry, waitlist and contact data is described in the privacy notice.
