1) What are cookies & local storage?
Cookies are small text files that your browser stores when a site asks it to. They can remember basic settings or keep you logged in. Local storage is a similar browser feature that lets a site save tiny bits of data on your device (for example, a theme preference) until you clear it.
2) Quick summary
- Essential only: We keep cookies to a minimum and use only what’s needed to run the site securely and reliably.
- No analytics cookies today: We are not setting Google Analytics or similar visitor-tracking cookies.
- No advertising cookies: We are not running ad-tech or interest-based tracking cookies.
- Local-only calculators: Our calculators run in your browser. We don’t collect the values you enter.
3) Cookie categories we use (and don’t use)
| Category | What it does | Do we use it? |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Basic site operation and security (e.g., load balancing, page caching, anti-abuse). | Yes (minimal) |
| Functional | Optional features like remembering preferences or UI choices. | Limited (mostly via local storage in your browser) |
| Analytics/Measurement | Understanding how visitors use the site over time. | No (not enabled) |
| Advertising/Targeting | Personalized ads or cross-site tracking. | No (not enabled) |
Note: If we ever enable non-essential categories (like analytics), we’ll update this page and provide clear choices.
4) WordPress/admin cookies
HowManyDaysInYear.com uses WordPress. Admin-only cookies may be set when site editors or administrators log in (for example, to keep a session active). Regular visitors usually won’t receive these cookies.
5) How to control or delete cookies
- Browser controls: Most browsers let you block, clear, or limit cookies in Settings/Preferences. You can also clear site data (including local storage) for this site.
- Private mode: Using private/incognito windows limits how long cookies and local storage persist.
- Device time & time zone: Calculator outputs depend on your device clock and time zone. If results look off, check these settings.
Blocking essential cookies may affect site reliability or performance.
6) If we add analytics or ads later
If we introduce privacy-friendly analytics or advertising in the future, we will:
- Update this Cookie Policy with the cookie types and purposes.
- Provide clear on-site notices and choices for non-essential cookies.
- Keep our Privacy Policy and Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure pages in sync with any changes.
7) Changes to this policy
We may update this page when our cookie usage changes or to reflect legal requirements. The “Last updated” date at the top shows the latest version.
