Take-Home Lab is published by Rodway Labs. The site may show advertising served by Google AdSense on the home page and the guides. Ads pay for the site; they do not change the calculator or the figures in any guide.

How we ask for consent

On pages that can show ads, Google’s consent message asks for your choice the first time you visit.

• Who asks: the message comes from Google’s consent tool (AdSense Privacy & messaging), a Google-certified consent management platform that uses the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework. It is shown to visitors in the UK, the European Economic Area and Switzerland.
• Your options: consent, do not consent, or manage options to choose purposes and partners one by one. You can also object to processing based on legitimate interest from the manage options screen.
• If you do not consent: Google may still show limited or non-personalised ads, which do not use cookies to personalise or track you, or no ads at all.
• Where it appears: only on pages that carry an ad slot, the home page and the individual guides. The guides index, glossary, methodology, about, contact and the legal and policy pages never load Google.

You do not have to consent to use the calculator or read the guides.

Where ads can appear

• The home page, below the calculator and its results, never between the form and the result.
• The individual guides: at most two ad slots per guide, each labelled “Advertisement”.
• No other page loads AdSense. That includes the guides index, glossary, about, methodology, contact, and the privacy, cookies, terms, disclaimer and advertising pages.

Changing your choice

Use the Privacy preferences link at the bottom of any page to reopen Google’s consent message and choose again. You can also clear site data for takehomelab.co.uk in your browser, and manage ad personalisation in Google’s My Ad Center.

Your calculator inputs

We do not sell your calculator inputs. Salary figures you type into the calculator stay in your browser for the calculation and are not passed to Google.

ads.txt

The root ads.txt file authorises Google (google.com) as the direct seller of advertising on Take-Home Lab, for the Rodway Labs AdSense account.
