Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work correctly and to provide information to site owners.

Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the site to function. They do not collect personal data and cannot be disabled.

Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors use FinToolbox — for example, which calculators are most used and how long people spend on each page. This data is anonymous and aggregated; it is not used to identify individuals.

Google Analytics sets cookies such as _ga and _ga_*, which persist for up to 2 years.

Your Consent Choices

When you first visit FinToolbox, a consent banner appears at the bottom of the page. You can:

• Accept All — enables all cookies including analytics.
• Reject Non-Essential — only necessary cookies are used; analytics are disabled.
• Manage Preferences — opens a panel where you can toggle analytics and marketing cookies individually.

Your choice is saved in your browser's localStorage under the key ft_consent. The banner will not reappear unless you clear your browser data or use a different browser or device.

We implement Google Consent Mode v2, which means Google Analytics only collects data once you have granted analytics consent. Before consent is given, all analytics and advertising signals default to denied.

To change your preferences at any time, clear your browser's local storage for this site and reload — the consent banner will reappear.

Managing Cookies

You can also control or disable cookies through your browser settings:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge

To opt out of Google Analytics specifically, you can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Note that disabling cookies may affect how some parts of the site work.
