What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They let a site remember things between pages and visits, such as your preferences, and they help website owners understand how their pages are used. Some cookies are set by the site you are visiting (first-party cookies) and some are set by other services the site relies on, like analytics or advertising providers (third-party cookies).
How and Why We Use Cookies
The Online Tools uses cookies for a few clear purposes: to keep the site working correctly, to measure how visitors use our tools so we can improve them, and to support the advertising that keeps the tools free to use. We do not use cookies to build a profile of you for any purpose beyond these. The table below breaks down the categories we use.
Types of Cookies We Use
| Category | What it does | Set by |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Keep the website functioning, load pages correctly, and remember basic preferences. The site cannot work properly without these. | First-party |
| Analytics | Help us understand which tools are used, how visitors navigate, and where traffic comes from, so we can improve the site. Data is aggregated. | Google Analytics |
| Advertising | Used to deliver and measure ads, and to make ads more relevant based on your visits to this and other sites. These keep the tools free. | Google AdSense & partners |
No calculator inputs you type are ever stored in cookies. The tools process those values locally in your browser.
Third-Party & Advertising Cookies
Some cookies are placed by third-party services rather than by us directly. In particular, third-party vendors including Google use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other sites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet. These cookies are governed by the providers' own privacy policies.
How to Control or Disable Cookies
You are always in control. You can manage cookies in several ways:
- Browser settings: every major browser lets you view, block, or delete cookies. Search your browser's help for “manage cookies”. Note that blocking essential cookies may break parts of the site.
- Personalized ads: opt out of personalized Google ads at Google Ads Settings.
- Third-party ad vendors: opt out of many vendors at once at aboutads.info/choices or youronlinechoices.eu.
- Analytics: opt out of Google Analytics with the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our practices or the law change. Any updates will be posted here with a revised “Last updated” date, so it is worth checking back occasionally.
