  • Referring website

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience. This includes:

  • Essential Cookies: Required for the website to function properly
  • Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors use our site (if/when Google Analytics is implemented)
  • Advertising Cookies: Used by Google AdSense to display relevant advertisements (when AdSense is active)

2. Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites.

How Google Uses Your Information

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the automatically collected information to:

  • Improve and optimize our website
  • Analyze website traffic and user behavior
  • Detect and prevent fraud or abuse
  • Display relevant advertisements through Google AdSense
  • Comply with legal obligations

4. Data Security

Since we do not collect or store any financial or personal information you enter into our calculator, there is minimal security risk. All calculator data remains on your device and is never transmitted to our servers. We implement standard security measures to protect the limited data we do collect (analytics and advertising data) through third-party services.

5. Data Retention

We retain automatically collected data (through analytics and advertising services) in accordance with the policies of third-party service providers such as Google. You can clear cookies from your browser at any time.

6. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites (such as irs.gov). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

7. Children's Privacy

Our website is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately.

8. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Disable cookies in your browser settings
  • Opt out of personalized advertising through Google Ad Settings
  • Request information about data collected through third-party services
  • Contact us with privacy-related questions or concerns

9. California Privacy Rights

California residents have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Since we do not sell personal information and do not directly collect personal data (beyond what third-party advertising services collect), most CCPA provisions do not apply. However, you may still opt out of targeted advertising through browser settings and Google Ad Settings.

10. International Users

Our website is hosted in the United States and is intended for users in the United States. If you access our website from outside the U.S., please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States.
