Privacy Policy

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4), provided by Google Ireland Limited, to understand how the site is used and improve our calculators.

The site sends Google tags interaction events such as page views, completed calculations, result ratings, search use, and share or copy actions. Gift amounts, budget inputs, personal details, free-text entries, and shared result-link contents are not intentionally sent as event parameters. Depending on the tag configuration, Google tags may send limited cookieless signals when consent is denied; analytics storage remains disabled.

Google Analytics also collects standard technical usage data required for the service, such as truncated or anonymized IP addresses (IP anonymization is enabled), approximate location (e.g., country), browser and device information, session identifiers, interaction duration, page path, page title, and referrer URL. We configure analytics so page URLs are transmitted without query parameters, preventing selection values from shared links from being passed along. Google may process data in the United States. We do not use Google Analytics advertising features for personalized advertising; optional aggregated demographic reporting (such as age or gender via Google Signals) occurs only based on your analytics consent.

Analytics, non-essential storage, and personalised Google AdSense ads are activated only after you click Accept & Continue on the consent banner. You can decline with No, thank you on the same banner. Your choice is stored locally in your browser (Local Storage: analytics-consent). Until you accept, Google Consent Mode v2 keeps analytics_storage, ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization denied. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as a rejection and do not show the banner. You can revoke a prior choice by clearing website data; the banner reappears on your next visit unless GPC remains active.

Legal basis: UK GDPR Article 6(1)(a), where consent is required. The Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) apply to non-essential storage or access where relevant. Google may process data in the United States. More information: Google Privacy Policy.

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Personalised advertising is enabled only after you accept on the consent banner. Google Consent Mode v2 communicates that choice to Google tags. When consent is denied, the relevant storage and personalisation signals remain denied; non-personalised ads may be shown depending on configuration.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings or alternatively via www.aboutads.info.

Legal basis for personalised advertising: UK GDPR Article 6(1)(a) and PECR, where applicable and required. More information: Google Advertising and the Google Privacy Policy.

We offer the ability to share calculated results via your device's native sharing feature (e.g., via messaging apps, email, or SMS) or copy the link directly to your clipboard.

How it works: When clicking 'Share Result' or 'Copy Result Link', our application interacts exclusively with local browser or operating system interfaces (the Web Share API `navigator.share` and clipboard-based copy functionality).

Data processing: No personal data is transmitted to our servers or third-party providers during this action. The creation of the personalized link and opening of your operating system share menu occur entirely locally on your device (client-side).

User responsibility: Only when you actively select a service (such as a messaging app or mail client) in your local device menu to send the link does data processing occur through that respective third party. We have no control over third-party data practices. The privacy policies of your chosen services apply.

Legal basis: Our legitimate interest under UK GDPR Article 6(1)(f) in providing a useful local sharing function.

Use of the share or copy function may be sent as an event to Google tags; processing follows the consent signals communicated through Google Consent Mode v2. Gift amounts and link contents are not sent.
