Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how CalcMate uses them, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal information more broadly.

By continuing to use micronirala.com, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this policy.

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They help the website remember information about your visit, such as your preferences, your device type, and which pages you have viewed.

Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the site owners.

CalcMate uses cookies for three main purposes:

• Essential functionality: To make the website and its forms work properly.
• Performance monitoring: To understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it.
• Advertising: To display relevant ads that keep CalcMate free for all students.

Importantly, cookies do not collect the marks, grades, or credit hours you enter into our calculators. All calculator math happens in your browser and is never stored.

We use Google Analytics to monitor the performance of our website and understand how students use it. Google Analytics helps us answer questions like:

• Which calculators are the most popular?
• Which pages load slowly or have technical issues?
• How do visitors find our website?
• Which devices and browsers are most commonly used?

Google Analytics sets cookies that collect this information in an aggregated, anonymized form. The data does not personally identify you. It may include your approximate location (country or city level), browser type, device type, pages visited, and time spent on the site.

You can learn more about how Google uses this data by visiting Google's Partner Sites policy. To opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

CalcMate is a free platform, and we use Google AdSense to display advertisements. These ads help cover the cost of running the website and allow us to keep all calculators free for every student.

Google AdSense uses cookies to:

• Display ads that are more relevant to your interests.
• Limit how often you see the same ad.
• Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
• Prevent fraudulent or invalid ad activity.

Google and its partners may use cookies, including the DoubleClick DART cookie, to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. This is known as interest-based advertising or personalized advertising.

You can control personalized advertising through your Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of interest-based advertising from many third-party vendors by visiting aboutads.info or youronlinechoices.eu.

The table below summarises the main categories of cookies you may encounter on CalcMate:

Some cookies on CalcMate are set by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control these cookies directly. The main third parties include:

• Google Analytics: For measuring site performance and visitor behaviour.
• Google AdSense: For delivering and measuring advertisements.
• Google reCAPTCHA: For protecting contact forms from spam and bots.
• CDN providers: For delivering fonts, icons, and styling assets.

Each of these providers has its own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review them if you want more detail.

You can control and manage cookies in several ways:

• Browser settings: Most browsers let you block, delete, or alert you about cookies. Check your browser's help section for instructions.
• Google Ads Settings: Manage personalized advertising through adssettings.google.com.
• Google Analytics opt-out: Install the browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
• Industry opt-out tools: Visit aboutads.info or youronlinechoices.eu.

Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect how parts of CalcMate function. For example, blocking essential cookies may prevent the contact form from working correctly.

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites asking them not to track your activity. Because there is currently no common industry standard for interpreting DNT signals, CalcMate does not respond to DNT requests at this time. You can use the cookie management tools listed above for more control.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, our advertising partners, or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
