Cookie Policy

The short answer

This site sets no cookies of its own. It has no analytics, no advertising tags, no tracking pixels, no social media buttons and no scripts of any kind, so there is nothing to accept or decline and no cookie banner. This page lists the only cookies you could meet here and what they do.

Cookies set by this site

None. No page on taxreliefanswers.com writes a cookie, reads a cookie, or stores anything in your browser's local storage.

Security cookies our host may set

These cookies are not used for advertising or analytics, and we cannot read them.

Cookies on other companies' sites

Some links on this site lead to tax relief companies that pay us when you contact them (see How we make money). When you follow one, that company's site may set its own cookies, including cookies that record that you came from here. Those cookies are governed by that company's cookie and privacy policies, not this one. Links to IRS.gov and other government sites are governed by those sites' policies.

How to control cookies

Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies in its settings. Blocking cookies does not affect reading this site. Browsers that send a Global Privacy Control signal need nothing more from us, because we do not sell or share personal information.

Changes

If this site ever adds a cookie or a script, this page will be updated first, and any cookie that is not strictly necessary will need your consent before it is set.
