Cookie Policy

Last updated: 20 June 2026

This page explains what cookies are, which cookies Contractor Calculator (contractorcalc.co.uk) uses, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device to store information, such as your preferences or anonymous identifiers used for analytics and advertising. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve them, and to deliver relevant ads.

Cookies we use

Analytics cookies

We use Google Analytics to measure how visitors interact with the site so we can improve our calculators and content. These cookies collect information in an anonymous, aggregated form — for example, the number of visitors, which pages they view, and how they arrived at the site. We do not use this information to identify you.

Advertising cookies

We use Google AdSense to display ads, which keeps this site free to use. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. These cookies help make the ads you see more relevant and limit how often you see the same ad.

Local storage (not a cookie)

Our calculators may save the figures you last entered to your browser's local storage so they are remembered on your next visit. This is not a tracking cookie — the data stays on your device and is never sent to us.

How to control cookies

You have several options for managing cookies:

Browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies and warn you before a site sets one. Refer to your browser's help pages for instructions.
Personalised ads. You can opt out of personalised Google advertising at Google Ads Settings.
How Google uses data. Learn more at How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps.

Blocking analytics and advertising cookies will not stop the calculators from working — they run entirely in your browser, independently of these services.
