Cookie Policy

1. Overview

Age Calculator Pro uses a small amount of browser storage to make the site work and to help us understand how it is used. This page explains what we store, why, who can read it, and how you can control it. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

2. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device so that it can remember information across page loads or visits. Similar technologies include localStorage, sessionStorage, and pixel-based tracking. Throughout this policy we use the word "cookies" as shorthand for all of these.

3. Cookies and Storage We Use

We aim to keep first-party storage minimal. The categories we currently use are:

• Essential storage - a small localStorage entry (acp-theme) remembers whether you selected light, dark, or system theme so the site does not flicker on the next visit. This does not identify you.
• Consent storage - a localStorage entry (acp-consent) records that you have seen and dismissed the cookie notice, so we do not show it every time.
• Analytics (aggregate) - if enabled, we may use privacy-friendly analytics to understand aggregate traffic and performance trends. We do not use analytics data to build advertising profiles of individual visitors.

4. Third-Party Cookies (Advertising)

To keep the calculator free, Age Calculator Pro may display advertising served by third-party ad networks such as Google AdSense and its approved partners. These networks may set their own cookies or read existing ones on your device in order to:

• Deliver ads that are more relevant to you based on your browsing activity.
• Measure ad delivery and performance (impressions, clicks, viewability).
• Prevent the same ad from being shown to you too often (frequency capping).
• Detect and prevent fraudulent or invalid ad traffic.

Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visitingGoogle Ads Settings oraboutads.info (US),Your Online Choices (EU/UK), orYourAdChoices (Canada).

We do not control the specific cookies set by third-party ad networks and cannot list them exhaustively. For the current list, refer to the ad network's own cookie disclosures, including theGoogle technologies and partner sitespage.

5. Legal Basis and Consent

Where required by law (for example under the EU/UK GDPR and ePrivacy rules, or under the California Consumer Privacy Act), we rely on the following legal bases:

• Essential and consent-storage cookies are used on the basis of legitimate interest, because they are strictly necessary to operate the site.
• Analytics and advertising cookies are used on the basis of your consent where consent is legally required.
• You can change your consent choices at any time by clearing your browser's storage for this site, which will cause the consent banner to appear again on your next visit.

6. How to Manage Cookies

You can manage or delete cookies directly in your browser. Most browsers let you:

• View the cookies currently stored on your device.
• Delete some or all cookies.
• Block third-party cookies by default.
• Open a private/incognito window that does not persist cookies after closing.

Popular browser help pages:Chrome,Firefox,Safari,Edge.

Blocking all cookies may cause parts of the site to look or behave slightly differently, but core calculator functionality will continue to work because it does not depend on cookies.

7. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) or "Global Privacy Control" (GPC) signal. Because there is no single industry standard for how sites should respond to DNT, we do not attempt to interpret it uniquely. We do honour Global Privacy Control signals where legally required, including as an opt-out signal for the sale or sharing of personal information under applicable US state privacy laws.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Material updates will be reflected by revising the effective date at the top of the page.
