Last reviewed for the 2026 holiday year
Who we are
We operate an independent information website about UK bank holidays. We are not a bank, building society or government body. Enquiries can be sent through our contact page.
Information we collect
- Information you give us: your name, email address and message if you use the contact form.
- Technical information: standard server and analytics data such as approximate location, device type, browser and pages viewed.
- Preferences: a small browser storage entry that remembers you dismissed the cookie notice.
Cookies and similar technologies
Essential storage is used to run the site and remember your notice preference. If analytics or advertising are enabled, those partners may set their own cookies to measure performance and, where permitted, to personalise advertising. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time; the site will still work.
Advertising disclosure
This site may display third-party advertising. Ad slots are labelled as advertisement placeholders and are kept visually separate from editorial content. Third-party ad providers operate under their own privacy policies, and their use of cookies or device identifiers is governed by those policies and by your consent choices.
Legal bases for processing
- Consent — for non-essential cookies and any personalised advertising.
- Legitimate interests — for site security, aggregate analytics and answering enquiries.
- Legal obligation — where we must retain records to comply with the law.
How long we keep information
Contact messages are kept only as long as needed to deal with your enquiry and any follow-up. Aggregated analytics data is retained in a form that does not identify individuals.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you can request access to your personal data, ask for corrections or erasure, object to or restrict processing, and withdraw consent. Contact us to make a request. You may also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.
Third-party links
Our pages may link to banks, government resources and other websites. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.
