Cookies Policy

Cookies are small text files containing a string of characters that can be placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They uniquely identify your browser or device. Cookies cannot search your computer or transmit viruses, and they do not contain personally identifiable financial records.

They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, improve visitor navigation efficiency, and provide analytics information to help optimize the site layout and tools.

Essential Cookies: These are technical cookies necessary for the basic operation of our website. For example, we use a local storage cookie named 'theme' to remember your preference for dark or light mode so the interface renders consistently on return visits.

Analytics Cookies: We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) cookies (such as '_ga' and '_gid') to collect aggregated, anonymous data about how visitors interact with our calculators and guides. This includes tracking page views, time spent on calculations, and browser types, which helps us optimize server performance and prioritize calculator features.

Functional Cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your county preset) to provide a more personalized, fluid calculation experience.
