How We Use Cookies

Site Functionality

We store your cookie preference so we do not ask for the same decision on every page load.

Analytics

When you consent, Google Analytics helps us understand which pages and calculators are useful and where visitors encounter problems.

Advertising

When ads are enabled, Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads, limit repetition, and measure ad performance.

What we do not use cookies for:

  • - Storing your calculator inputs or calculator results
  • - Selling personal data derived from cookies
  • - Accessing files elsewhere on your device
  • - Building unrelated tracking profiles outside analytics and advertising functions

5.

Google Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors interact with Dog Calculator when analytics consent is granted.

What Google Analytics may collect

  • - Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • - Referral source, such as search, direct visit, or another site
  • - General location at country or city level
  • - Browser, device type, and operating system
  • - Interactions with page elements such as buttons and calculators

Privacy protections in our implementation

  • - We load Google Analytics only after analytics consent is granted.
  • - Our client-side setup requests IP anonymization.
  • - Ad personalization signals are disabled in the page configuration.
  • - Property-level settings such as retention are managed inside our Google Analytics account.

6.

Google AdSense & Advertising Cookies

We use Google AdSense to display ads on Dog Calculator. Advertising revenue helps keep the calculators free to use.

Personalized and non-personalized ads

Personalized ads

When advertising consent is granted, Google may use cookies such as IDE to show ads based on browsing behavior and preferences.

Non-personalized ads

When advertising consent is refused in our settings, we request non-personalized ads that rely on context and limited operational signals instead of interest-based targeting.

How Google AdSense may use cookies

  • - Showing ads based on page context or user interests
  • - Limiting how often the same ad is shown
  • - Measuring ad impressions, clicks, and conversions
  • - Detecting invalid activity and fraud

Third-party advertising partners

Through Google AdSense, additional advertising partners may place cookies or use similar technologies. We do not directly control those third-party cookies. Their data practices are governed by their own policies.

First-Party vs Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies

These are set directly by dogcalculator.net and are readable only within our site context. We use them primarily for consent memory.

Examples: cookie_consent, cookie_consent_timestamp

Third-party cookies

These may be set by external services such as Google Analytics or Google AdSense when those services are enabled for your visit.

Providers: Google Analytics and Google AdSense / DoubleClick

Browser vendors continue to change how third-party cookies and cross-site tracking work. As those standards evolve, we may adjust our consent and advertising implementation and update this policy accordingly.

Dog Calculator does not rely solely on DNT signals to manage analytics or advertising. For more reliable control, use our Cookie Settings panel or the browser and provider opt-out tools described above.
