Privacy policy
The calculators on this site run entirely in your browser. What you type — hours, pay rates, dates, cities — is never sent to a server and is kept only in the page address, where you control it. The site uses analytics and advertising, described below, and neither receives your entries.
Calculator entries
Tool state is stored in the URL fragment (the part after #). Browsers do not send the fragment to web servers, and this site does not read it server-side. There is no account, no database of entries, and no browser storage is used for them. Clearing the address clears the state.
Analytics
Google Analytics 4 is used to count page views and see which tools are used. It is configured to record the page path only: the page address is stripped of its fragment and query string before being sent, so your entries are not included. IP anonymisation is on and Google Signals (cross-device and advertising features) is off. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, analytics and advertising storage default to denied under Google Consent Mode.
Advertising
The site shows Google AdSense advertising. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to this or other sites. In the EEA, UK and Switzerland, personalised advertising is not served without consent. You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google's Ads Settings.
Affiliate links
The time-tracking comparison page may contain affiliate links. Following one may set a cookie on the vendor's site so a sign-up can be attributed; this site receives no personal information from it. Such links are labelled where they appear.
Embedded countdowns
The countdown widget other sites can embed loads one script from this domain and sends nothing back to it; it does not set cookies.
Server logs
The web server keeps standard access logs (IP address, requested path, browser) for a short period for security and capacity purposes.
