What cookies are
Cookies are small files or similar browser technologies that help websites remember information, operate features, measure performance, prevent abuse, and support advertising. HomeCalc can be used without creating an account, but some third-party services may still use cookies or similar technologies when pages load.
How HomeCalc may use cookies
HomeCalc may use cookies, local storage, or similar technologies for site operation, saved browser preferences, calculator project lists, analytics, security, and advertising. For example, a local project-list feature may store estimate details in the visitor’s own browser so the list can be copied later. That local browser storage can usually be deleted through browser settings.
Advertising cookies
Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, or similar technologies to serve ads, measure ad performance, limit repeated ads, and help protect advertising systems from fraud or abuse. Google and its partners may use advertising cookies to serve ads based on visits to HomeCalc and/or other sites on the internet.
Analytics and performance cookies
Analytics or performance tools may be used to understand which calculators are visited, how users move through the site, which pages load slowly, and where errors occur. HomeCalc uses this type of information to improve calculators, fix pages, and make navigation easier.
Map and geocoding services
Map tools and address search may rely on third-party map, geocoding, or tile services. These services may receive technical requests needed to display a map, search an address, or draw imagery. Visitors should avoid entering sensitive information into address or calculator fields.
Managing cookies
Visitors can adjust cookie settings in their browser, delete cookies, clear local storage, or use advertising opt-out tools offered by Google and other vendors. Blocking some cookies or scripts may affect maps, saved estimates, analytics, or advertising features.
Relationship to the privacy policy
This Cookie Policy should be read together with the Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy explains broader information practices, including calculator inputs, contact emails, advertising disclosures, external links, and user choices.
