Cookies

myGov puts small files (known as ‘cookies’) on your computer.

Essential cookies

We only use one essential cookie. It keeps you signed in and protects forms from misuse.

• Name: __Host-mygov
• Purpose: keeps your session secure while you use myGov
• Expires: when you close your browser

Because this cookie is essential, we do not ask for consent to use it.

Security checks

Sign-in and sign-up pages use a security check provider to stop automated attacks. The provider may process your IP address and browser information for this purpose only.

Visit statistics

We count visits to improve the service without using cookies. We do not store your IP address or anything that identifies you, visits cannot be linked from one day to the next, and nothing is shared with other companies. If your browser sends a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal, we do not count your visit at all.

We do not use advertising cookies.
