How CalcTrick uses cookies and similar technologies for essential features, analytics, advertising, and preferences

2026/04/20

Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how CalcTrick ("CalcTrick," "we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use our online calculators, converters, educational pages, and related website features (collectively, the "Services").

This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information more generally.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your browser or device when you visit a page. Cookies allow a website to recognize a browser, remember information, maintain sessions, improve performance, and understand how visitors use the site.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting, which are called first-party cookies. They can also be set by third-party services, such as analytics providers, advertising networks, embedded content providers, or other partners, which are called third-party cookies.

We may also use technologies that perform similar functions, including:

  • Local storage and session storage, which store information in your browser
  • Pixels and tags, which help measure page views, events, and ad performance
  • Device or browser identifiers, which help distinguish browsers or devices
  • Server logs, which record technical information about requests to our Services

In this policy, we use the term "cookies" to refer to cookies and similar technologies.

Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the Services to operate securely and reliably. They support core functions such as page navigation, calculator functionality, login sessions, privacy choices, and abuse prevention.

Examples include:

  • Session cookies: keep you logged in, maintain session state, and allow calculators or forms to function across pages.
  • Security cookies: help detect fraud, abuse, spam, unauthorized access, and suspicious activity.
  • Consent cookies: remember your cookie choices and privacy preferences.
  • Load balancing cookies: route requests across servers to keep the website available and responsive.
  • Debugging and reliability cookies: help diagnose errors, outages, and performance problems.

These cookies are usually active by default because the website may not work properly without them.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use CalcTrick so we can improve our calculators, explanations, page speed, and user experience.

Examples include:

  • Google Analytics cookies: help measure visits, sessions, traffic sources, approximate location, browser and device information, and interactions with pages or tools.
  • Mixpanel cookies: may help measure product interactions, feature usage, funnels, retention, and aggregated engagement trends.
  • Performance measurement cookies: help identify slow pages, errors, and areas where the Services can be improved.

Analytics cookies generally use pseudonymous identifiers and aggregated reports. Where required by law, we use analytics cookies only with your consent.

Advertising Cookies

Advertising cookies support the ads that help keep CalcTrick available. They may be set by us or by advertising partners.

Examples include:

  • Google AdSense cookies: help display ads, measure ad performance, detect invalid traffic, and limit repeated ad delivery.
  • Programmatic advertising cookies: help advertising exchanges, demand-side platforms, supply-side platforms, and measurement providers deliver and evaluate ads.
  • Ad personalization cookies: may support interest-based or personalized advertising where permitted and where you have not opted out.
  • Ad measurement pixels: help count impressions, clicks, conversions, and campaign effectiveness.

Advertising partners may use information collected on CalcTrick together with information from other websites or services according to their own privacy policies.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies remember choices that make the Services easier to use.

Examples include:

  • Language cookies: remember the language or locale you selected.
  • Preference cookies: remember calculator defaults, units, display choices, theme, layout, or accessibility settings.
  • Recently used tool cookies: help you return to tools or settings you used before.
  • Saved non-sensitive state cookies: preserve interface state so the website feels consistent across visits.

Disabling functional cookies may make the Services less personalized, but core features should generally remain available.

How We Use Each Type

We use each category of cookies for the purposes below.

Cookie TypeMain PurposesExamples of Information Processed

We do not use cookies to intentionally collect sensitive calculator inputs for advertising. You should still avoid entering highly sensitive personal information into calculator fields unless necessary.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on CalcTrick are set by third-party providers. These providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and cookie policies.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics may set cookies such as identifiers used to distinguish unique users and sessions. These cookies help us understand aggregate site traffic, usage patterns, device information, approximate geography, and how visitors interact with our calculators and pages.

You can learn more about Google's privacy controls and available opt-outs from Google's own resources and browser tools.

Mixpanel

If enabled, Mixpanel may set cookies or use similar identifiers to help us understand product usage, feature engagement, funnels, and retention in an aggregated or pseudonymous manner.

Google AdSense and Advertising Partners

Google AdSense, Google advertising services, and other advertising partners may set cookies or pixels to deliver ads, measure performance, prevent fraud, and support ad personalization where permitted. These cookies may be associated with domains operated by Google, advertising exchanges, measurement providers, or other ad technology partners.

Cloud, Security, and Performance Providers

Cloud hosting, content delivery, security, monitoring, and performance providers may use cookies or technical identifiers to route traffic, secure the Services, identify abuse, and diagnose service issues.

Cookies may remain on your browser or device for different periods.

Session Cookies

Session cookies are temporary. They usually expire when you close your browser or after a short period of inactivity. They are commonly used for login sessions, forms, security checks, and temporary calculator state.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your browser or device until they expire or you delete them. They may be used to remember preferences, consent choices, analytics identifiers, advertising identifiers, or returning-visitor settings.

The exact duration depends on the cookie, your browser settings, our configuration, and the third-party provider that sets the cookie. Some cookies may last only minutes or days, while others may last for months or longer where permitted by law.

Managing Cookies

You can manage cookies in several ways.

Browser Settings

Most browsers allow you to:

  • View, block, or delete cookies
  • Block third-party cookies
  • Clear cookies when closing the browser
  • Use private or incognito browsing modes
  • Set site-specific cookie permissions
  • Receive alerts before cookies are stored

Browser controls vary by browser and device. If you use multiple browsers or devices, you may need to manage cookies separately on each one.

Where we provide a cookie banner, consent tool, or privacy preference center, you can use it to accept, reject, or adjust non-essential cookie categories. Essential cookies cannot usually be disabled through these controls because they are required to provide the Services.

Analytics Opt-Outs

You may be able to limit analytics tracking by:

  • Using available consent controls on CalcTrick
  • Blocking or deleting analytics cookies in your browser
  • Using browser extensions or privacy tools
  • Using opt-out tools provided by analytics providers, where available

Advertising Opt-Outs

You may be able to limit personalized advertising by:

  • Adjusting Google ad personalization settings
  • Using industry opt-out tools in your region
  • Blocking third-party cookies in your browser
  • Using privacy-focused browsers, extensions, or device settings
  • Enabling legally recognized opt-out preference signals where supported

Opting out of personalized ads does not necessarily stop all advertising. You may still see contextual or non-personalized ads.

Impact of Disabling Cookies

If you disable or delete cookies, some parts of CalcTrick may not work as intended. For example:

  • Login sessions may not persist
  • Saved preferences, language settings, or calculator defaults may be lost
  • Cookie consent choices may need to be set again
  • Some calculators, forms, or interactive features may not function correctly
  • Website performance, security, and fraud prevention may be affected
  • Ads may be less relevant or repeated more often
  • Analytics may be less accurate, making it harder for us to improve the Services

Essential cookies are important for secure and reliable operation. Blocking all cookies may significantly reduce website functionality.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, the third-party services we work with, legal requirements, or our business practices. The date at the top of this page indicates when this policy was last updated.

If we make material changes, we may provide additional notice, such as a website notice or updated consent prompt where appropriate.
