Cookie and Similar Technologies Policy

1. Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are browser-stored values. Similar technologies include localStorage, sessionStorage, IndexedDB, pixels, scripts, SDKs, advertising identifiers and consent records.

2. Strictly necessary technologies

Technologies essential to deliver a requested service may qualify for a consent exemption, but it must be assessed narrowly.

3. Functional technologies

The active theme preference remembers a visitor's light, dark or system choice. It contains no calculator inputs.

4. Preferences

Visitors can change the theme or clear site storage through browser controls.

5. Analytics

Google Analytics 4 remains blocked until the visitor selects Allow analytics. Its standard first-party cookies and tag are listed in the inventory below.

6. Advertising

Google AdSense is configured on eligible pages. Ad delivery and storage depend on region, Google Privacy & Messaging choices and provider settings.

8. Third-party technologies

Google Analytics and, where enabled, Google AdSense are the configured third-party technologies. NordVPN affiliate links lead to a separately controlled merchant site. Activation and navigation depend on the choices and conditions described in this Policy.

9. Session and persistent duration

Session storage normally ends with a session; persistent storage remains until expiry or deletion. Exact active durations appear below.

11. Withdrawing consent

Use Privacy Choices in the footer to change Analytics consent. Google's advertising message provides its own privacy and cookie settings where applicable.

12. Reopening privacy choices

The footer Privacy Choices control reopens HandyGrid's Analytics choice. Applicable Google advertising choices are presented separately through Google Privacy & Messaging.

13. Browser controls

Browsers can block or delete storage. Blocking a requested preference may prevent it being remembered.

14. Consequences

Deleting the theme entry resets the visual theme to the system default. Core calculations continue.
