How We Use Cookies
We use the following types of cookies:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the Service to function. They include your session cookie (app_session_id), which keeps you logged in as you navigate the site. Without these cookies, the Service cannot function properly. These cannot be disabled.
Analytics Cookies
We use privacy-friendly analytics to understand how visitors use the Service — which pages are most visited, how users navigate, and where they drop off. This helps us improve the product. Analytics data is aggregated and does not identify individual users.
Preference Cookies
These cookies remember your settings and preferences, such as your calculator mode preference (Quick Mode vs. Full Mode) and any UI customizations you have made. They improve your experience by not requiring you to re-enter preferences on each visit.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third-party services we use:
- Stripe — sets cookies to detect fraud and ensure secure payment processing. Stripe's cookie policy applies.
We do not use advertising or tracking cookies from social media platforms or ad networks.
Managing Cookies
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View what cookies are stored and delete them individually
- Block third-party cookies
- Block all cookies from specific sites

Please note that disabling essential cookies will prevent you from logging in and using the Service. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use the Service but will limit our ability to improve it.
