Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies and tracking technologies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. We also use similar technologies — local storage, pixels, and SDKs — for the same purposes: remembering your settings, understanding how the site is used, and delivering ads. Wherever this policy says "cookies," it includes these related technologies unless stated otherwise.

2. Categories of cookies we use

3. The specific cookies we set

This is the level of detail EU and UK regulators expect — specific names, not just categories. The table below reflects our current setup; replace it with the results of your own cookie scan before publishing, and re-run that scan whenever you add a new analytics or ad tag.

4. Google advertising and AdSense

GenAICalculator uses Google AdSense to keep every calculator free. As part of that:

• Google and its partners use cookies to serve and measure ads on this site.
• Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or others.
• For visitors in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, we rely on a consent management platform that meets Google's EU User Consent Policy and the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework, so non-essential cookies are only set after you consent.
• You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings or review the full list of ad technology providers who may set cookies here at Google's partner sites page.

5. EEA, UK, and Switzerland (GDPR / UK GDPR / ePrivacy)

If you're visiting from the European Economic Area, the UK, or Switzerland, non-essential cookies (analytics and advertising) are not set until you give explicit, affirmative consent through our cookie banner. Rejecting cookies is exactly as easy as accepting them — there is no extra click or hidden step to decline. You can withdraw consent at any time using "Manage cookie preferences" above, and doing so is just as simple as giving it.

6. United States privacy rights

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) and similar laws in other states — including Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah, and others as they take effect — using third-party advertising cookies can count as a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

You can opt out at any time via the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link in our footer, or by enabling your browser's Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal — we honor GPC as a valid opt-out request everywhere it applies.

7. Other regions

We also recognize cookie and data-protection rights beyond the EU and US, including Canada's PIPEDA and Quebec's Law 25, Brazil's LGPD, India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, and Australia's Privacy Act. Wherever local law requires consent before setting non-essential cookies, we ask for it first; wherever it requires an easy opt-out, our preference center above provides one.

8. Children's privacy

GenAICalculator is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age required by local law), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them through cookies or otherwise. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us using the details below and we will remove it.

9. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal. There's no common industry standard for how sites should respond to DNT yet, so we don't currently act on it. We do honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, as described in section 6.

10. How to control or delete cookies

Use "Manage cookie preferences" above at any time to change your choices. You can also control cookies directly in your browser: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge all publish instructions. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may break parts of the site.

For broader ad-industry opt-outs, visit the Digital Advertising Alliance or the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance.

11. International data transfers

Some cookie data may be processed in countries other than your own, including the United States. Where required, we and our partners rely on recognized safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses to protect information transferred this way.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as our cookies, tools, or applicable law change. Material changes will update the "Last updated" date above; where required by law, we'll also ask for your consent again before any new non-essential cookie is set.
