Summary (plain English)

  • This tool works without cookies.
  • Your selected options may be saved locally in your browser (localStorage) to improve usability.
  • If advertising is enabled (e.g. Google AdSense), cookies may be used for ad delivery and measurement.
  • You can control cookies in your browser and via any cookie banner shown on the site.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website can store on your device. They are commonly used to remember preferences, support analytics, and enable advertising features.

Cookies are not inherently “good” or “bad” — what matters is how they are used and whether users have choice.

What this site uses

  • LocalStorage (site preferences): This is not a cookie, but it is similar in function. We may store your selected income range, region, and household option in your browser so the tool remembers your choices when you return.
  • Essential hosting logs: GitHub Pages (the hosting provider) may record standard request logs for security and reliability. These are not controlled by this site’s code.
  • Advertising cookies (optional): If ads are enabled, providers such as Google may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver ads and measure performance.

Advertising (Google AdSense)

If enabled, Google AdSense may set cookies to:

  • Deliver ads
  • Limit how often you see the same ad
  • Measure ad performance
  • Support personalised or non-personalised advertising (depending on consent and settings)

Google and other third-party advertisers operate under their own privacy and cookie policies.

Managing your preferences

  • Cookie banner: If a cookie banner is shown, you can accept or reject non-essential cookies.
  • Browser settings: You can block or delete cookies using your browser settings at any time.
  • Clear saved selections: You can clear site data (localStorage) in your browser settings to remove saved tool preferences.

Blocking cookies may limit advertising features, but the tool should still function.

Contact

If you have questions about this cookie policy, you can contact the site owner via the project repository.

You can also raise a suggestion or issue in the GitHub project.
