Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the website owners. Cookies enable websites to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

Cookies can be "persistent" cookies or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your personal computer or mobile device when you go offline, while session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your web browser.

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar tracking technologies such as web beacons (also known as clear gifs or pixel tags), tracking pixels, and local storage. These technologies work similarly to cookies and help us improve your experience on our website.

How We Use Cookies

VehCalc uses cookies for a variety of purposes, including:

• To provide the services and features you request
• To remember your preferences and settings
• To understand how you use our website and improve your experience
• To show you relevant advertisements
• To measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns
• To ensure the security and proper functioning of our website
• To analyze website traffic and user behavior

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, access to secure areas of the website, and form submissions. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.

Examples of essential cookies on VehCalc include:

• Cookies that remember your unit preferences (e.g., imperial vs. metric measurements)
• Cookies that keep track of your calculator settings during a session
• Cookies that enable security features like fraud prevention
• Cookies that allow you to access logged-in areas (if applicable)

Because essential cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with access to the website, you cannot refuse them. However, you can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site may not work then.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.

Information collected by these cookies may include:

• Your IP address (may be anonymized)
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Referring website
• Pages visited on our site
• Time and date of visit
• Length of visit
• Exit page

We use this information to compile reports and to help us improve the website. The information is aggregated and anonymized wherever possible.

Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement, as well as to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

These cookies may be set by our advertising partners through our site. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

We work with third-party advertising networks that may use cookies and similar technologies to provide interest-based advertising. These networks may collect information about your visits to this and other websites over time in order to display relevant advertisements.

Preference Cookies

Preference cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize.

On VehCalc, preference cookies may remember:

• Your preferred unit system (imperial or metric)
• Your preferred currency
• Theme or display preferences
• Whether you have accepted our cookie policy

Social Media Cookies

If we include social media features on our website, such as share buttons or embedded content, these features may set their own cookies. These cookies are set by the respective social media platforms and are governed by their own privacy policies. We have no control over the placement or use of these cookies.

Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own cookies, various third parties may also set cookies through our website. These third parties may include:

• Analytics service providers that help us understand how our website is used
• Advertising networks that deliver relevant advertisements
• Content delivery networks that help us deliver content efficiently
• Social media platforms that enable sharing functionality

These third parties may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about you and your online activities across different websites and services over time. This information may be used to provide you with interest-based advertising or other targeted content.

Please note that we do not control the tracking technologies or practices of these third parties, and this Cookie Policy does not apply to them. The use of cookies by these third parties is governed by their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third parties to understand their data collection practices.

Opting Out of Interest-Based Advertising

If you would like to learn more about interest-based advertising and opt out of having your web browsing information used for behavioral advertising, you can visit the following resources:

• Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA): optout.aboutads.info
• Network Advertising Initiative (NAI): optout.networkadvertising.org

Please note that even if you opt out of interest-based advertising, you will still see advertisements, but they may be less relevant to your interests.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. At this time, there is no common industry standard for how websites should respond to Do Not Track signals. Our website does not currently respond to Do Not Track browser signals.
