What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, understand how you use the site, and serve relevant advertising. Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses; they are simply a way to recognise your browser between visits.
Cookies We Use
CalcTap uses the following categories of cookies:
| Category | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | CalcTap | Stores your cookie consent preference (calctapConsent) so you are not asked on every page visit. | Session / localStorage |
| Analytics | Google Analytics (GA4) | Tracks page views, session duration, and traffic sources so we can understand how visitors use CalcTap and improve the experience. | Up to 14 months |
| Advertising | Google AdSense | May serve personalised or non-personalised ads based on your browsing activity. Google uses these cookies in accordance with its own privacy policy. | Up to 13 months |
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the site to function. They do not require your consent. The only strictly necessary cookie used by CalcTap is the consent preference stored in your browser's localStorage (calctapConsent), which remembers whether you have accepted or declined optional cookies.
Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics (GA4) to collect anonymised data about how visitors use CalcTap — which pages are popular, where users come from, and how they navigate. This data helps us improve the site. Analytics cookies are only loaded after you give consent. You can opt out at any time using our cookie settings or by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Advertising Cookies
CalcTap may display ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies to show you personalised ads based on your interests and browsing activity across websites. We do not control or access these cookies directly. You can manage your Google ad preferences at adssettings.google.com.
Where required by law (e.g. in the EU/EEA under GDPR), advertising cookies are only loaded after you provide explicit consent.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can control cookies in several ways:
- Cookie banner on this site — Use the consent banner shown on your first visit to accept or decline optional cookies. You can revisit your preferences at any time.
- Browser settings — Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Note that blocking all cookies may affect certain site features.
- Google opt-out — Visit adssettings.google.com or install the GA opt-out add-on.
- Your About Ads — Visit aboutads.info/choices or youronlinechoices.eu (EU users) to opt out of interest-based advertising.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on CalcTap are set by third-party services (Google Analytics, Google AdSense). These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies that are independent of CalcTap. We recommend reviewing them directly:
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically. Any changes will be published on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to check this page occasionally.
