Cookie policy
Last updated: 30 October 2026
This page lists the cookies and similar storage CalcIt uses, what each one is for, and how to change your choice. The privacy policy covers the same ground in more detail.
Your choice
Google Analytics runs from your first visit. It sets its cookies so we can count visits and see which calculators and guides people use. You can switch it off at any time: choose Reject, or refuse it in Google's consent message, and we turn analytics off and delete the Google Analytics cookies.
Advertising cookies are different. They are set only if you accept them. Google's consent message (AdSense Privacy & messaging, a consent platform certified under the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework v2.2) asks for your choice. If that message is not shown to you, our own banner asks instead. Until you accept, Google's ad tags run with ad storage denied and do not set or read advertising cookies.
To change your choice, use Cookie settings. The same link is in the footer of every page.
