What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. They let a site remember things between page loads and across visits, such as the theme you picked or whether you have already seen a notice. Related technologies, like local storage, do the same kind of job and are covered by this policy too.
Why Quick Calci uses cookies
Quick Calci uses cookies and similar storage to keep the site secure and working, to remember your preferences, to measure traffic, and to support the ads that pay for hosting. You can still use every calculator if you decline the non-essential ones, though a few preferences will not be remembered between visits.
The categories you may run into
The cookies and storage on this site fall into four groups:
- Essential: needed for security and the core features of the site. These keep pages loading correctly and cannot be switched off without breaking parts of the site.
- Preferences: remember choices such as light or dark theme and your chosen language, stored on your own device so the site looks the way you left it.
- Analytics: set by Google Analytics to count visits and show which calculators get used. They measure activity in aggregate, not your identity.
- Advertising: set by Google AdSense and its partners to choose the ads you see, limit how often an ad repeats, and measure how ads perform.
Cookies set by Google
Some cookies on this site are set by Google rather than by Quick Calci. Google AdSense uses them to select, cap, and measure ads, and Google Analytics uses them to report traffic. Google controls these cookies under its own policies, which you can read through the link below.
How long cookies last
Session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay for a set period, anywhere from a few days to around two years, depending on the job they do. The advertising and analytics cookies set by Google follow Google's own expiry times.
Your consent
Where the law requires it, such as in the European Economic Area and the UK, Quick Calci asks for your consent before setting non-essential cookies. You can change that choice whenever you like through your browser settings or the opt-out tools below.
How to manage or turn off cookies
You are always in control of cookies through your browser. Every major browser lets you see the cookies a site has set, block new ones, or delete what is already there. Blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the site from working. The settings paths for the common browsers are:
- Google Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Cookies and other site data.
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings, then Privacy & Security, then Cookies and Site Data.
- Safari: Preferences, then Privacy, then Manage Website Data.
- Microsoft Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions.
Turning off ad and analytics cookies
To stop personalised ads specifically, use Google's own controls and the ad-industry opt-out tools. To stop Google Analytics across every site, install Google's official browser add-on. The links below take you straight there.
What happens if you block cookies
Blocking or clearing cookies is your choice, and the calculators keep working either way. The main difference is that the site stops remembering small things for you. If you turn off non-essential cookies or opt out of personalised ads, expect a few changes:
- your theme and language may reset to the defaults on each visit
- you will still see ads, but they will be more generic and less relevant to you
- your visit may no longer be counted in the aggregate analytics
- essential features stay on, since the site needs them to load correctly
Changes to this Cookie Policy
If the cookies used on the site change, this page is updated and the Last Updated date at the top changes with it.
