Cookie policy

Your choices

Accept all, reject non-essential and customize are available in the privacy banner. You can reopen Cookie preferences in the footer at any time. Rejecting optional categories does not prevent calculator use.

Necessary storage

hcl-consent is first-party local storage, used to remember the version, date and category choices you selected. The application treats it as expired after 180 days and asks again. Local storage is covered by storage and access rules even though it is not an HTTP cookie.

Cloudflare security cookies (such as __cf_bm) may be used strictly for DDoS mitigation, bot protection, and security purposes without storing identifying personal profiles.

Analytics

Google Analytics is off by default. If configured with Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and you give explicit consent, cookies such as _ga may be set to measure usage. No Google Analytics requests or cookies occur prior to affirmative consent.

Cloudflare Web Analytics provides separate measurements of page views and page-load performance. These measurements are not controlled by the Google Analytics preference in our banner.

Advertising and functional categories

Advertisements are not currently requested. AdSense scripts load on advertising-eligible pages to connect the site for review, with ad requests paused. Google states that this paused mode does not set new cookies, although existing Google-domain cookies may be read. The functional category loads no third-party scripts. Advertisement delivery requires a Google-certified Consent Management Platform (CMP) integrated with the IAB TCF and updated vendor disclosures. The site privacy banner does not replace that CMP and does not control the connection script.

Changing or withdrawing consent

Save preferences to change your choice. Withdrawing analytics triggers a reload to stop the active script and attempts to remove first-party analytics cookies. You can also delete site data in your browser. Preferences cannot be persisted if your browser blocks storage.
