Calculator inputs

Numbers you type into our calculators are processed in your browser. We do not send them to our servers or store them.

Cookies and similar technologies

We and our partners use cookies to measure how the site is used and to show advertising. Where the law requires it (for example in the UK, EU and EEA), we ask for your consent through a consent message before non-essential cookies are used. You can change your choices at any time using the privacy settings link shown by the consent tool, or by clearing cookies in your browser.

Advertising

We use Google AdSense (and may use other advertising partners) to show ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.

You can turn off personalised ads in your Google Ads Settings (google.com/settings/ads) or at aboutads.info/choices. Google explains how it uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics and Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand which pages are useful. These tools collect information such as pages visited, approximate location (country/region), device and browser type. Google Analytics only sets cookies if you consent where consent is required.

Legal basis (UK/EU visitors)

We rely on your consent for analytics and advertising cookies, and on legitimate interests for keeping the site secure and working. You have the right to access, correct or delete personal data, to object to processing and to complain to your data protection authority (in the UK, the Information Commissioner’s Office).

US visitors

We do not sell personal information in exchange for money. Some states treat sharing data for targeted advertising as a “sale” or “share”; you can opt out using the options above or your browser’s Global Privacy Control setting.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Changes

We may update this policy and will change the date above when we do.
